[0056] DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0057] With reference to the abstract, the preferred embodiment of the new Air Cycling Aircraft and with reference to the drawings, and in particular to figs. 22 thereof, the preferred embodiment of the new Air Cycling Aircraft, embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designed by the reference numerals 1 to 47 will be described.

[0058] The present invention, the new Air Cycling Aircraft, 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.

[0059] Essentially and in summary, the present invention, the new Air Cycling Aircraft as in fig. 1, comprises fuselage, circle 1, wheels circle 8, horizontal cycling structure circle 2, vertical cycling structures circle 3 motion transmission mechanism circle 4, twin arm gearbox circle 5, propeller shaft housing circle 6, and propeller circle 7.

[0060] 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 in fig. 3.

[0061] The steering or navigation system is constructed as in fig. 4. This system which comprises steering handle circle 11, steering box circle 12, steering shaft circle 15, spur gears circle 16 and 17, turning shaft circle 13 and turning lever circle 14, are assembled in the system which is fixed on the vertical structure circle 3.

[0062] For motion transmission, a linear wheel circle 19 in fig. 4 is redesigned to be rotated by the chain instead of the V belt. To attain the linear wheel that can be fitted on the vertical structure and operate with the chain, an inverted tee bar circle 20 in fig. 5, is bend into a circle form and the joint welded as in fig. 8. The up stand flange is cut into teeth to form an inverted tee bar sprocket circle 20 in fig. 9 which can lock into the chain.

[0063] A solid formed wheel or steel wheel cut from thick steel plate and shaped circle 22 in fig. 7 is fabricated. A flat bar circle 21 in fig. 6 is bend into corrugation and rolled into a circle to form a corrugated rim circle 21 in fig. 10, to harness spokes circle 23 and hub circle 24. The three wheels, inverted tee bar sprocket in fig. 9, solid shaped steel wheel or flywheel in fig. 7 and corrugated rim circle 21 harnessed with spokes circle 23 and hub circle 24 are assembled together to form a linear wheel in fig. 11 and 12 and installed on vertical cycling structure circle 3.

[0064] The creation of the linear wheel is to make the wheel to use the chain instead of vie belt, boost the cycling force and develop a high speed and adequate inertia for cycling sustainability.

[0065] The motion transmission is divided into three stages namely, primary, secondary and advanced stage. The primary chain tension bracket circle 25 in fig. 18 is fabricated and mounted with tension sprocket circle 26 and return sprocket circle 27 and fitted on the vertical cycling structure circle 3 close to free wheel circle 28, to tension and regulate primary chain circle 36. The plate channel circle 30 in fig. 14 is again fabricated and mounted with tension sprocket circle 31 and return sprocket circle 32 and fitted on the arms of the twin arm gearbox circle 5 in fig. 15 and 16 to tension and regulate the running of secondary chain circle 33 in fig. 17 and 18.

[0066] The peddle wheels circle 37 and the linear wheels circle 22, in fig. 18 are installed on the vertical cycling structure circle 3. The cycling force produced by the peddle wheels circle 37 is transmitted to the linear wheel circle 19 via primary chain circle 36, free wheel circle 37 and primary chain tension bracket circle 25. The linear wheel circle 19 therefore picks the motion from free wheel circle 37 and again via secondary chain circle 38 to input sprocket circle 29 and into the gearbox circle 5.

Claims

To avoid a direct link of secondary chain circle 35 from the 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 channels are fitted on the arms of the twin arm gearbox circle 5 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 rectangular 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.Finally a segment, the twin arm gearbox circle 5 in fig. 20 and 21 is constructed with the objective of producing a 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 produce the desired output.Therefore the cycling motion via input sprockets circle 29 into the twin arm gearbox circle 5 in fig. 20, is picked by the horizontal transverse shaft circle 39 and transmitted to the propeller circle 7 via sprocket circle 40, advanced chain circle 41 driven sprocket circle 42, horizontal transverse shaft circle 43, bevel gear circle 44, pinion circle 45, and propeller shaft circle 46.The double cycling system circle 47 in fig. 23 is then installed in the plane and the anew Air Cycling Aircraft is ready to takeoff.
