Wing with Duct Having Flap

PendingJP2025524565A5PropellersWing shapes
The ducted wing is configured to be connected to an aircraft. The ducted wing includes jet foils arranged in an integrally continuous array. Each jet foil includes a propulsion fan, an upper wing portion, and a lower wing portion extending beyond an end of the upper wing portion. Each jet foil includes a duct formed between the upper wing portion and the lower wing portion, and the propulsion is within the duct. Further, each jet foil may have one or more flaps at a leading edge or a trailing edge of the jet foil. The jet foil may have a flap that controls either an inlet area or an outlet area of the propulsion fan, and a flap that controls so that the aircraft can operate in any of a plurality of different takeoff modes.

Fluidic propulsive system

A propulsion system coupled to a vehicle. The system includes a convex surface, a diffusing structure coupled to the convex surface, and at least one conduit coupled to the convex surface. The conduit is configured to introduce to the convex surface a primary fluid produced by the vehicle. The system further includes an intake structure coupled to the convex surface and configured to introduce to the diffusing structure a secondary fluid accessible to the vehicle. The diffusing structure comprises a terminal end configured to provide egress from the system for the introduced primary fluid and secondary fluid.

Exhaust area and flow turning control

PendingEP4766607A2PropellersAirbags
An aircraft may comprise ducted fans. The ducted fans may be an array of ducted fans. An array of ducted fans may be integrated in a wing of the aircraft. A ducted fan may be integrated in a horizontal tail of the aircraft. The wing may include a movable edge, such as a flap, to provide both exhaust area and flow turning control. The movable edge may be articulated by pivoting the movable edge. The movable edge may be extended and retracted.

Vertical take of and landing aircraft with fluidic propulsion system

PendingUS20260159220A1Power plant exhaust arrangementsJet type power plants
An aircraft includes a fuselage and a primary airfoil having a first upper surface. The first upper surface has a recess disposed therein. A conduit is in fluid communication with recess. An ejector is disposed within the recess. The ejector is configured to receive compressed air via the conduit. The ejector is further configured to produce a propulsive efflux stream. A secondary airfoil is coupled to the primary airfoil and has a second upper surface. The ejector is positioned such that the efflux stream flows over the second surface. The second surface is oriented so as to entrain the efflux stream to flow in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first upper surface.

Multi-element lifting system with integrated propulsion and aircraft using same

A vertical take-off and landing aircraft with a multi-element lifting system with integrated propulsion. The multi-element lifting system may have an upper wing element, a lower wing element, and a control wing element which is located below the upper wing element and above, and rearward of, the lower wing element. The system uses internal propulsion units, such as internal ducted fans, which flow air below the upper wing element and above the lower wing element such that the air flows through the multi-element lifting system. The control wing element may be articulated to route air vertically downward to allow for short or vertical take-off and landing. An aircraft with a multi-element wing assembly and a multi-element tail assembly raised above the wing assembly. An aircraft which resides on the ground with the wing assembly and the tail assembly pitched up.
