61 Full-segregated thrust hybrid propulsion for airplanes US14999343 2016-04-25 US09789768B1 2017-10-17 Wendel Clifford Meier
An airplane, which includes an airframe and a full-segregated thrust hybrid propulsion system mounted on the airframe. The propulsion system includes: one or more sustainer thrust producers; a plurality of electrically powered thrust producers disposed in predetermined positions as a means for providing additional thrust to the airplane, and to supplement airflow over the wings, flaps, and roll control devices of said airplane; whereby increasing the lift of the wing surfaces and providing enhanced control in the roll axis. The trust producers operate independently from one another, with no aerodynamic, electrical or mechanical inter-connection. Safety is enhanced by the ability of either the sustainer thrust producer(s), or the electrically powered augmentation thrust producers to sustain flight to a suitable landing area, should the other system fail.
62 DUAL-AIRCRAFT SYSTEM US15066460 2016-03-10 US20170259918A1 2017-09-14 NICHOLAS K. CHRISTENSEN
One example includes a dual-aircraft system. The system includes a glider aircraft configured to perform at least one mission objective in a gliding-flight mode during a mission objective stage. The system also includes an unmanned singlecopter configured to couple to the glider aircraft via a mechanical linkage to provide propulsion for the glider aircraft during a takeoff and delivery stage. The unmanned singlecopter can be further configured to decouple from the glider aircraft during a detach stage in response to achieving at least one of a predetermined altitude and a predetermined geographic location to provide the gliding-flight mode associated with the glider aircraft, such that the glider aircraft subsequently enters the mission objective stage.

66 UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE US13767735 2013-02-14 US20140129056A1 2014-05-08 Alfredo Criado
The present disclosure relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) able to harvest energy from updrafts and a method of enhancing operation of an unmanned aerial vehicle. The unmanned aerial vehicle with a gliding capability comprises a generator arranged to be driven by a rotor, and a battery, wherein the unmanned aerial vehicle can operate in an energy harvesting mode in which the motion of the unmanned aerial vehicle drives the rotor to rotate, the rotor drives the generator, and the generator charges the battery. In the energy harvesting mode regenerative braking of the generator reduces the forward speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle to generate electricity and prevent the unmanned aerial vehicle from flying above a predetermined altitude.
67 Spar for sailwings US12139373 2008-06-13 US08128031B2 2012-03-06 Neil Thomas Boertlein
A sail wing for a lightweight aircraft comprising a membrane; a front spar; and a tensioned rear wire attached to a trailing edge of the membrane, such that when the front spar is bent to match a curve of the tensioned trailing edge of the sail wing membrane, the sail wing membrane has substantially little or no twist, and results in substantially little or no induced drag.
68 Universal flying hawk US09845999 2001-09-24 US08007337B1 2011-08-30 Douglas D. DeMasi, Sr.
A multi-use recreational product fully assembled constitutes a toy that can be towed on water and on snow and in the air, and when airborne, the rider can detach the tow rope and use the product as a glider. The toy disassembled, separates a wing section from a fuselage or tail section. The wing section is independently usable as a wakeboard; longitudinally extending fins which provide stability in movement of the assembled product in water and air and easier lift-off into the latter, also aid in control of the wakeboard in water and on snow. The fuselage or tail section is independently usable as a surfboard or water ski, wakeboard, snowboard or kneeboard. As a surfboard, it would be inverted so that thin vertical fins on the wider tail end of its upper surface when used as the fuselage, would extend into the water. Control elements exist on the appropriate surfaces of the sections to enable rider steerage of the sections and/or assembled product.

A glider formed from a multi-sided tube open at its ends is disclosed. The body and lifting surfaces of the glider comprise a multi-sided tube including a top wall of planar configuration; a pair of opposed upper side walls of planar configuration integral with the top wall extending downward and outward a distance; a pair of opposed vertical side walls of planar configuration integral with the upper side walls; a pair of opposed lower side walls of planar configuration integral with the side walls extending downward and inward to a point inward of a vertical extension of the top wall and upper side wall intersections; a bottom wall extending between lower end walls and integral therewith enclosing the structure. The bottom wall includes a pair of upward extending planar sections meeting at a mid point between lower end walls to form a ridge. An upper cut-out symmetrical about a center line of the tube removes a substantial portion of the upper surfaces, and a lower cut-out symmetrical with the center line works in concert with the upper cut-out to produce maximum lift and stability. The glider of the present invention is suitable for both powered and non-powered flight.
