[0051] DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0052] With reference to the abstract, the preferred embodiment of the new Air Cycling Float Plane and with reference to the drawings, and in particular to figs. 22 thereof, the preferred embodiment of the new Air Cycling Float Plane embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designed by the reference numerals 1 to 47 will be described.

[0053] The present invention, the new Air Cycling Float Plane is a system comprised of a plurality of individual components, in their broadest context; such components are housed in the segments. The components are individually configured and correlated with respect to each other to attain the desired objectives.

[0054] 6 Essentially and in summary, the present invention, the new Air Cycling Float Plane as in fig. 1, comprises fuselage, circle 1, floaters circle 9 and floaters stay bar circle 8, horizontal cycling structure circle 2, vertical cycling structures circle 3, motion transmission mechanism circle 4, gearbox circle 5, propeller shaft housing circle 6. Propeller shaft housing circle 6 and propeller circle 7.

[0055] To attain this, metals are cut in sizes and welded together to create a horizontal structure circle 2 in fig. 2. This structure is then laid on the floor of the plane, in already positioned bolts and fastened with nuts. A vertical cycling structure circle 3 in fig. 3 is then constructed and fitted on horizontal structure circle 2.

[0056] The steering system or navigation system is constructed as in fig. 4. This system which comprises steering handle circle 13, steering box circle 14, steering shaft circle 18, spur gears circle 19 and 20, turning shaft circle 15 and turning lever circle 16, are assembled in the system which is fixed on the vertical structure circle 3.

[0057] Linear wheel circle 22 in fig. 4 is fabricated to use chain for motion transmission and fitted on vertical structure circle 3. To attain this linear wheel, an inverted tee bar circle 23 in fig. 5, is bend into a circle and the joint welded as in fig. 8. The up stand flange is cut to create teeth and form an inverted tee bar sprocket circle 23 in fig. 9. A solid steel wheel formed or cut from thick steel plate and shaped circle 25 in fig. 7 is fabricated. A flat bar in fig. 6 is bend into corrugation and rolled into a circle to form a corrugated rim circle 24 in fig. 10, to harness spokes circle 26 and hub circle 27. The three wheels, inverted tee bar sprocket in fig. 9, solid steel wheel in fig. 7 and corrugated rim circle 24 harnessed with spokes circle 26 and hub circle 27, are assembled to form a linear wheel in fig. 11 and 12.

[0058] The creation of the linear wheel to make the wheel to use the chain instead of vie belt, provide additional cycling energy to develop a high speed and adequate inertia for cycling sustainability.

[0059] As afore mentioned, the motion transmission is created into three stages namely, primary, secondary and advanced stage. The peddle wheel circle 37 and the linear wheel circle 22, in fig. 18 are installed on the vertical cycling structure circle 3. Therefore the cycling motion starts with the peddle wheel circle 37, steered by the cyclist and via the primary chain circle 38, the motion is transmitted to free wheel circle 34 and the primary tension bracket circle 32. This makes the linear wheel circle 37 to pick the primary motion via free wheel circle 34 and transmit to twin arm gearbox circle 5 via secondary chain circle 35 and input sprocket circle 28. The primary chain tension bracket circle 32 in fig. 13 is created for the purpose of primary chain tension and reduction of cycling friction.

[0060] To avoid a direct link of secondary chain circle 35 from linear wheel circle 22 with the input sprocket circle 28, a plate channel circle 29 mounted with secondary chain tension sprocket circle 30 and return sprocket circle 31 in fig.14, is fabricated. This plate channel is fitted on the arm of the twin arm gearbox facing downwards as in fig. 15, to align and regulate the secondary chain from the linear wheel at a right angle. This makes the secondary chain to circulate in a rectangle form and a void cycling friction that could be coursed by a cute angle if the secondary chain from the linear wheel was to link input sprocket circle 28 in fig. 17, directly.

[0061] Finally a segment, the twin arm gearbox circle 5 in fig. 20 is constructed with the objective of being light in weight and to produce high speed and convert horizontal transverse motion to longitudinal motion. To attain this, the twin arm gearbox is constructed with external features to accommodate double cycling motion and internal components configured and arranged to increase speed and convert horizontal transverse motion to longitudinal.

[0062] Finally cycling motion therefore from linear wheels circle 22 and the secondary chains circle 35 in fig. 20 and 21 is transmitted to input sprockets circle 28 of the twin arm gearbox which picks the motion via horizontal transverse shaft circle 39, drive sprocket circle 40, advanced chain circle 41 driven sprocket circle 42, horizontal transverse shaft circle 43, bevel gear circle 44, pinion circle 45, propeller shaft circle 46 to propeller circle 7 and a thrust is produced to move float plane forward.

[0063] The double cycling and motion transmission system circle 47 in fig. 23 is then installed in the plane, the present invention the new Air Cycling Float Plane ready to takeoff for flight test.
