Vertical Takeoff And Landing Aircraft

View page
US Patent:
6824097, Nov 30, 2004
Filed:
Aug 27, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/649033
Inventors:
Richard P. Ouellette - Lakewood CA
Aaron J. Kutzmann - Long Beach CA
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B64D 2720
US Classification:
244 23B, 244 23 A, 244 55, 244 58
Abstract:
An aircraft adapted for covert deployment and having low vulnerability to hostile detection and aggression is provided. The aircraft includes a fuselage having a pair of sidewalls and a bottom. The sidewalls and bottom form an armored payload bay. The aircraft additionally includes a pair of wings connected to the fuselage. The wings have a fixed wingspan constrained such that the aircraft can be transported within a larger aircraft. This allows for the aircraft to be aerial deployed from the larger aircraft. Each of the sidewalls include at least one pulse ejector thrust augmentor (PETA) bank that is canted outward. Therefore, a thrust exhaust produced by each PETA bank is directed down and away from a centerline of the payload bay. Furthermore, the bottom of the aircraft is adapted to allow ingress and egress of cargo, e. g. military troops, from the payload bay.

Aircraft With Thrust Vectoring For Switchably Providing Upper Surface Blowing

View page
US Patent:
6926229, Aug 9, 2005
Filed:
Dec 8, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/730357
Inventors:
Darold B. Cummings - Hawthorne CA, US
Aaron J. Kutzmann - Long Beach CA, US
Christopher K. Droney - Huntington Beach CA, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B04C023/00
US Classification:
244 125, 244 23 D
Abstract:
Aircraft having thrust vectoring for switchably providing upper surface blowing. The aircraft generally includes a wing and an engine. The engine can be rotatably supported to supporting structure to allow the engine to be controllably rotated relative to the wing, and/or the engine can include a thrust vectoring nozzle. The engine's thrust vectoring capabilities allow the exhaust flow to be controllably vectored to switch on or off upper surface blowing depending on the aircraft's phase of operation. During a first phase, the exhaust flow can be vectored to flow across the upper wing surface to provide upper surface blowing to augment lift. During a second phase, the exhaust flow can be discharged generally downstream or rearwardly. The engine is positioned relative to the wing such that the exhaust flow does not provide upper surface blowing during the second phase.

US Patent:
6926231, Aug 9, 2005
Filed:
Apr 22, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/829757
Inventors:
Richard P. Ouellette - Lakewood CA, US
Aaron J. Kutzmann - Long Beach CA, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B64D027/20
US Classification:
244 23B, 244 23 A, 244 55, 244 58
Abstract:
A method is provided for reducing vulnerability to hostile detection of and aggression towards an aircraft. The method includes adapting an aircraft fuselage to form an armored payload bay, wherein the armored payload bay includes a pair of sidewalls and a bottom. The method additionally includes adapting wings of the aircraft to allow the aircraft to be transported within a larger aircraft. For example, the wings could have a fixed wing span that allows the aircraft to transported within a larger aircraft or the wings could be adapted to fold so that the aircraft can transported within a larger aircraft. The method further includes disposing at least one pulse ejector thrust augmentor (PETA) bank within each sidewall. Each PETA bank is oriented such that a thrust exhaust produced is directed down and away from a centerline of the payload bay. Still further, the method includes adapting the bottom of payload bay to allow ingress and egress of cargo.

Runway-Independent Omni-Role Modularity Enhancement (Rome) Vehicle

US Patent:
6926235, Aug 9, 2005
Filed:
Jun 20, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/600400
Inventors:
Richard P. Ouellette - Lakewood CA, US
Aaron J. Kutzmann - Long Beach CA, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B64C001/00
US Classification:
244120, 244119
Abstract:
A modular component set is configurable to form a plurality of flight capable platforms. A plurality of end pieces each has contiguously connected curved outer portions each longitudinally expanding from a tip to terminate at a blunt attachment face. Body members have opposed ends to receive the end piece blunt attachment face, and a rectangular shaped mid-portion having opposed walls. A plurality of task specific panels are each releasably connectable to one of the opposed walls. At least one of the body members with the end pieces joined at the opposed ends, and at least one of the task specific panels connected to one of the opposed walls form a minimum component set for each of the flight capable platforms.

Filed:
Apr 22, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/829743
Inventors:
Richard P. Ouellette - Lakewood CA, US
Aaron J. Kutzmann - Long Beach CA, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B64D027/20
US Classification:
244 23B, 244 23 A, 244 55, 244 58
Abstract:
A flight capable mobile platform adapted for covert deployment is provided. The mobile platform is additionally adapted to have a reduced vulnerability to hostile detection and aggression. The mobile platform includes a fuselage having a pair of sidewalls and a bottom. The sidewalls and bottom form an armored payload bay. The mobile platform additionally includes a pair of wings connected to the fuselage. The wings have a fixed wingspan constructed such that the mobile platform can be transported by a larger second mobile platform. This allows for the mobile platform to be aerial deployed from the larger second mobile platform. Each of the sidewalls include at least one pulse ejector thrust augmentor (PETA) bank that is canted outward. Therefore, thrust exhaust produced by each PETA bank is directed down and away from a centerline of the payload bay. Furthermore, the bottom of the mobile platform is adapted to allow ingress and egress of cargo, e. g.

Horizontal Augmented Thrust System And Method For Creating Augmented Thrust

US Patent:
7150432, Dec 19, 2006
Filed:
Jun 18, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/872154
Inventors:
Richard P Ouellette - Lakewood CA, US
Aaron J Kutzmann - Long Beach CA, US
Darold B Cummings - Coeur d'Alene CA, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B64D 33/02
US Classification:

Abstract:
A horizontal augmented thrust system includes at least one wing. The wing includes a wing outer envelope, a trailing edge and a flap. At least one pulse jet engine is positioned entirely within the wing outer envelope. The pulse jet engine produces a pulsating thrust dischargeable adjacent the trailing edge of the wing and onto the flap.

System And Methods For Airborne Launch And Recovery Of Aircraft

View page
US Patent:
7900866, Mar 8, 2011
Filed:
Oct 18, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/874804
Inventors:
Aaron J. Kutzmann - Long Beach CA, US
Kevin R. Lutke - Huntington Beach CA, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B64D 5/00
US Classification:
244 1TD, 244 63, 244116, 2441371
Abstract:
A system and methods for airborne launch and recovery of aircraft. In one embodiment the system comprises a flexible tether configured to be towed behind an airborne mother ship. A drag device is secured to a distal end of the flexible tether to generate drag and maintain tension in the flexible tether. A reel associated with the mother ship anchors a proximal portion of the flexible tether and selectively lets out and takes up the flexible tether to adjust a length of the flexible tether. A capture mechanism associated with the aircraft engages the flexible tether to enable the aircraft to translate along the flexible tether. In embodiments of the present methods, a flexible tether is deployed from an airborne mother ship. An aircraft translates forward and rearward along the flexible tether. Prior to launch, the weight of the aircraft is transferred from the flexible tether to the wings.
