Problems solved by technology

The main reason is the choice of different airfoils, since it is obvious to the inventors that these previous designs generally provided wings that were triangular, short, and had a large rearward deflection, which was well suited for super Fly at the speed of sound, but the carrying capacity of the wings is not good enough

Embodiment Construction

[0023] The aircraft comprises a generally cylindrical fuselage 1 , but tapers towards the nose 2 at the front of the aircraft. Extending from the fuselage 1 is a transverse wing 3 that extends substantially laterally of the aircraft and is slightly curved backwards, and is arranged at the rear of the fuselage 1 at a distance of approximately 10% of the total length from the front. 80%, the horizontal canard plane front wing 4 positioned at the front is not far from the nose, and similar to traditional aircraft, the vertical tail 5 is above the rear and has a large backward deflection. Here, the wing 3 is arranged in the lower part of the fuselage 1 , but the wing could also be located in the mid-height part or in the upper part of the fuselage. The aircraft should also include landing gear 6 located under the fuselage 1 and a pair of aero-engines (turbojet engines) 7 also located at the rear of the fuselage 1 but slightly forward of the wings 3 . In this embodiment, the aeroe...

Abstract

This aircraft comprises both propulsion units (7, 16, 17) for conventional aircraft flight in the atmosphere and for high-altitude operation as a rocket. It is divided into a payload compartment (8) and a compartment (13) essentially containing rocket propulsion unit ergols. It comprises a long transverse wing (3) with a small back-sweep to favour the lift in the dense layers of the atmosphere and make it possible to climb to high altitudes at a subsonic speed before using the rocket propulsion units. The return is performed by gliding or controlled as for a conventional aircraft.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject of the invention is an aircraft of hybrid aerodynamic and space flight and the associated navigation method. Background technique [0002] The technical field of the invention is the field of space shuttles, ie aircraft capable of taking off from the ground like an airplane, reaching space and also returning like an airplane and landing on Earth. These vehicles must be able to carry payloads and provide the full safety conditions for manned flight like conventional aircraft and, unlike rockets (which cannot be reused during launch at the end of a flight), they must especially be reusable. The space term is understood according to the terminology of the International Aeronautical Federation, space means all space outside the Earth's atmosphere (usually at altitudes above 100 km). It can also be understood that the atmosphere of space is very thin in order to allow the flight of traditional aircraft. [0003] Orbital planes can be distingui...
