161 Superconductive Hypersonic Liquefaction Nosecone US13969467 2013-08-16 US20150048208A1 2015-02-19 Charl Emelio Janeke
An apparatus and method for mitigating the shock front of a rocket or aerospace plane flying at hypersonic speeds while simultaneously distilling liquid chemical elements from the ambient air. The invention employs supercooling (through a combination of superconductivity and/or superemissivity) driven by the cryogenic power of liquid hydrogen and/or regenerative evaporation of liquid hydrogen and/or liquid nitrogen to drive isothermal compression and consequentially usurp the shock front in totality at Mach 1. The ensuing supercool/chilled air that is rendered as a consequence of supercooling may hence be compressed, regeneratively intercooled & flashed into liquid air. By means of extension liquid air may be rendered as a direct result of said supercooling throughout the hypersonic regime into space. Under conditions of optimality the incipient air stream may be compressed in accord with the stagnation pressure of the Mach number and liquefacted in one-step via the power of supercooling and isothermal compression

Aircraft engineering applicable for improving aerodynamic quality of helicopters, airplanes, including big airbuses and amphibian airplanes, aerodynamic ground-effect and air-cushion vehicles, by reducing contact area between the external fuselage tail section surface and a high-speed air flow, area of contact is reduced by increasing surface area of holes in the fuselage tail section. To increase lifting force without increasing pressure resistance, the aerodynamic channel bottom is convex upwards, for example, curved upwards according to the shape of the airfoil convex side. The upper hole for the aerodynamic channel in the fuselage skin may be located along the fin middle portion divided lengthwise by the fin to right and left, in two. The aerodynamic channel is made through and may be open. The upper front edge aligned hole of the aerodynamic channel has a greater surface area than the rear hole aligned with the fuselage end.

173 Canarded deltoid main wing aircraft US12764925 2010-04-21 US07854409B2 2010-12-21 Faruk Dizdarevic; Mithad Dizdarevic
Canarded deltoid main wing aircraft idea allows for design of large supersonic civil and military aircraft with cruising speeds of up to Mach 3 at the altitude of over 25,000 meters. The fuel consumption per unit of payload of such aircraft would be at least twice lower with a longer range of over 50% when compared to existing supersonic aircraft of the same size. Simultaneously, the flight safety and ride quality during takeoff and landing at low speeds would be similar to the existing subsonic passenger aircraft. A low fuel consumption, long range, high ride quality, and high flight safety of these aircraft are widely opening a door for design of supersonic long range continental and intercontinental passenger aircraft that would be highly competitive with existing long range high subsonic passenger aircraft.

The aircraft (10) presents, finally, staggered tails (44 and 38), to optimise the aerodynamic performance.
180 AIR TRANSPORT WITH SCALLOPED UNDERBODY US11614052 2006-12-20 US20080149763A1 2008-06-26 Sean R. Wakayama; Richard C. Odle
An exemplary embodiment provides an air transport that has a scalloped aerodynamic underside that includes at least one depression. The depression is configured to receive at least an upper portion of a cargo pod to preclude an air passage way between an upper surface of a pod and the scalloped underside of the transport. Certain embodiments provide conformal pods that nest into the depressions so that pod under surfaces blend smoothly with the scalloped underside of the transport to provide a smooth aerodynamic underside. The scalloped underside may be retrofitted to existing aircraft or supplied as original equipment on new transports, and may be of composite, plastic or other light weight materials.
