The propulsion concept is called HPVO (High Performance Optimized Versatile propulsion). The invention is useful both for air vehicles of the type for conventional takeoff and landing, “CTOL” (Conventional Take Off and Landing), “Chair” and for vertical takeoff and landing, “V (t) OL” (Vertical (Take) Off and Landing’) and the flying wing (blended-body).

97 | OBLIQUE BLENDED WING BODY AIRCRAFT | EP08798974 | 2008-08-29 | EP2193079A4 | 2013-11-13 | MCDONNELL WILLIAM RANDALL |
An oblique wing aircraft (1) designed for reduced surface area to volume ratio. The aircraft has an oblique wing comprising a forward swept wing segment (27) on one side of the wing and an aft swept wing segment (29) on the opposite side of the wing. A center oblique airfoil section (25) connects the forward and aft swept wing segments. The center oblique airfoil section has a larger chord near its centerline than the chords of either of the forward or aft swept wing segments. The chord of the center oblique airfoil section tapers down more rapidly than the forward or aft wing segments as the center oblique airfoil section extends outboard toward the forward and aft swept wings. The center oblique airfoil section is not shaped solely to function as a circular fairing to fill the gap between an oblique wing and a fuselage at different oblique wing angles, nor is it a second wing in an X wing configuration. Preferably, the aircraft is an all-wing aircraft. | ||||||
