Aircraft. Hypersonic.
[Category : - DESIGN PATENTS]
[Viewed 94 times]
The aircraft can be piloted by a human operator or function automatically, like a drone. In the case of human control, the pilot's cockpit is entirely enclosed within the fuselage and lacks any protruding elements, such as a traditional canopy. The pilot monitors the external environment via displays that receive video feed from externally mounted cameras seamlessly integrated into the aircraft's streamlined airframe.
The aircraft is propelled by jet engines. These engines feature adjustable nozzles and the capability to pivot themselves across multiple spatial planes.
In-flight control is achieved by vectoring the engine thrust, operating on a principle similar to that of a convertiplane. The engines can pivot synchronously or differentially, so that the resulting thrust vectors impart the corresponding direction of motion to the aircraft. This vehicle is significantly more maneuverable than any existing man-made aircraft. It can fly like a conventional glider and as a hypersonic missile at hypersonic speeds. Changes in flight trajectory can occur as rapidly as the structural limits of the airframe allow. Consequently, due to the potential for high G-forces, piloting should predominantly be conducted in an automated mode, without a human on board.
A typical flight profile might appear as follows:
Takeoff from a conventional runway, like a standard aircraft.
After reaching a designated altitude, the aircraft "transforms" into a hypersonic missile, rapidly accelerating to hypersonic speed. This "transformation" occurs without any change in external configuration or deployment of additional elements.
Upon completion of the hypersonic flight phase, the aircraft switches the engines to a braking mode by altering the direction of the thrust vector.
Once its speed has reduced sufficiently for gliding, the aircraft can either continue flight in this mode or proceed to land at a conventional airfield, much like a standard airplane.
The advantages of this flight profile include fuel efficiency during acceleration/takeoff and supermaneuverability across a wide speed range. This supermaneuverability will enable the execution of unprecedented aerobatic maneuvers.
An additional benefit of this technology is the proposed method for reducing airframe skin friction during hypersonic flight. This allows for a reduction in aerodynamic heating and prevents structural failure due to overheating. This option will be described in detail and made available to interested companies.
