Abstract

Abstract A sound reducing combined low mid-wing and horizontal stabilizer airplane with near longitudinal center line thrust twin engines having intensified aileron, elevator and rudder control. Small jet engines rigidly attached to the ailerons intensify attitude control for low speed manuevers.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 355 words
An aircraft comprising: (A) a fuselage having a porpoise shaped nosewindshield extending midlength to a rectangular shape and further in the rear to a transverse vertical lenticular crossection with side walls of said fuselage forming decreasing minor arcuate portions of a cylinder blending into a tall vertical stabilizer fin tail section containing a rudder recessed into the trailing edge of said tall vertical stabilizer and movably attached upstream from the trailing edge of said tall vertical stabilizer; and (B) wings connected to said fuselage containing movably mounted ailerons recessed inboard from tips of said wings, said ailerons extending further inboard to a point of operational clearance adjacent to the intersection of auxiliary vertical stabilizers, said auxiliary vertical stabilizers extending from near the leading edge of said wings parallel to said fuselage, thusly ending flush with said tall vertical stabilizer trailing edge; and (C) a monolithic wing-horizontal stabilizer, said horizontal stabilizer beginning as a rearward extension of said wings, said horizontal stabilizer extending aft of said fuselage and ending flush with an elevator movably mounted into said horizontal stabilizer, said elevator spanning horizontally outward from the intersection with, and on each side of, said tall vertical stabilizer to meet rearward extensions of said horizontal stabilizer and extending rearward to be flush with said horizontal stabilizer trailing edge, and whose leading edge is hinged to the trailing edge of said horizontal stabilizer, said horizontal stabilizer being a rearward continuance of said wings, and extending off said fuselage at wing level outward to end just inboard of said ailerons; and (D) said tall tail vertical stabilizer fin originating on the top centerline of said fuselage extending rearward to be flush with the trailing edge of said horizontal stabilizer extensions and said elevator containing a rudder superimposed into said vertical stabilizer trailing edge, hinged upstream in said vertical stabilizer to form a movable horizontal control about the vertical axis of said aircraft; and (E) a pair of pusher type engines juxtaposed and symetrically attached to the aft end of said fuselage and on each side of said vertical stabilizer with just sufficient clearance to allow safe engine propeller operation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 355 words
An aircraft comprising: (A) a fuselage having a porpoise shaped nosewindshield extending midlength to a rectangular shape and further in the rear to a transverse vertical lenticular crossection with side walls of said fuselage forming decreasing minor arcuate portions of a cylinder blending into a tall vertical stabilizer fin tail section containing a rudder recessed into the trailing edge of said tall vertical stabilizer and movably attached upstream from the trailing edge of said tall vertical stabilizer; and (B) wings connected to said fuselage containing movably mounted ailerons recessed inboard from tips of said wings, said ailerons extending further inboard to a point of operational clearance adjacent to the intersection of auxiliary vertical stabilizers, said auxiliary vertical stabilizers extending from near the leading edge of said wings parallel to said fuselage, thusly ending flush with said tall vertical stabilizer trailing edge; and (C) a monolithic wing-horizontal stabilizer, said horizontal stabilizer beginning as a rearward extension of said wings, said horizontal stabilizer extending aft of said fuselage and ending flush with an elevator movably mounted into said horizontal stabilizer, said elevator spanning horizontally outward from the intersection with, and on each side of, said tall vertical stabilizer to meet rearward extensions of said horizontal stabilizer and extending rearward to be flush with said horizontal stabilizer trailing edge, and whose leading edge is hinged to the trailing edge of said horizontal stabilizer, said horizontal stabilizer being a rearward continuance of said wings, and extending off said fuselage at wing level outward to end just inboard of said ailerons; and (D) said tall tail vertical stabilizer fin originating on the top centerline of said fuselage extending rearward to be flush with the trailing edge of said horizontal stabilizer extensions and said elevator containing a rudder superimposed into said vertical stabilizer trailing edge, hinged upstream in said vertical stabilizer to form a movable horizontal control about the vertical axis of said aircraft; and (E) a pair of pusher type engines juxtaposed and symetrically attached to the aft end of said fuselage and on each side of said vertical stabilizer with just sufficient clearance to allow safe engine propeller operation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 54 words
An aircraft, as recited in claim 1, wherein said tall tail fin vertical stabilizer intersecting said monolithic wing horizontal stabilizer reinforced by said auxiliary vertical stabilizers, isolates the propeller air thrust lines of said engins above said aircraft inboard said auxiliary vertical stabilizers across said rudder and said elevator, thereby intensifying thrust attitude control.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 44 words
An aircraft according to claim 2, wherein the propeller air thrust line of said engines are channeled, isolated, and directed above said monolithic wing horizontal stabilizer to exit over the aft end of said elevator and said horizontal stabilizer extensions, thereby reducing plane-to-ground noise.
