second embodiment
[0025]FIG. 4a is a diagrammatic elevation view of a canopy 32 on the invention. The canopy 32 is faceted in the sense that it includes a downwardly facing surface 32A having a cross sectional shape in a vertical transverse plane parallel to the X-Y axis that is not continuously curved; it includes multiple line segments or chords instead.
third embodiment
[0026]FIG. 4b is a diagrammatic elevation view of a canopy 33 on the invention. The canopy 33 is curved in the sense that it includes a downwardly facing surface 33A having a cross sectional shape in a vertical transverse plane parallel to the X-Y axis that is continuously curved. The shapes of the canopy 32 and the canopy 33 are functions of the propeller size, number, and location. Other considerations affecting their shapes include construction material and attachment design.
fourth embodiment
[0027]FIG. 5 is a diagrammatic elevation view of the invention having a canopy 34 with a downwardly facing surface 34A that includes lift-to-drag ratio enhancement steps. The steps are designed to promote separation of the redirected rooster tail from the RTD as soon as possible. That is done to reduce wetted surface area and viscous drag. The steps also convert any forward motion of the propeller wake into thrust.
