Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a mechanical device that reduces aircraft propulsion fuel by amplifying aircraft lift using the Magnus effect. Background Technology

[0002] The Magnus effect is a phenomenon in which the path of an object rotating and moving within a fluid is bent when it receives a force perpendicular to its direction of motion.

[0003] In an airfoil-shaped aircraft wing, lift is generated upwards by the air in front of the aircraft during propulsion.

[0004] The above lift force is also proportional to the aircraft's propulsion speed.

[0005] Because the aircraft's wing shape was an airfoil, it could not be rotated like the cylindrical rotor sail, which is widely used as a propulsion aid in ships.

[0006] Due to the aforementioned technical difficulties, lift amplification devices utilizing the Magnus effect are not being effectively applied to aircraft. Prior art literature
