20120032033 | Wing piercing airplane - My invention is a wing piercing airplane design based on the Catamaran (or trimaran) boat design. The concept behind the wind piercing airplane is a airfoil that consist of forward pointed triangular shaped wing on the left & right side of the fuselage, triangular shaped forward pointed vertical fins, triangular shaped forward pointed horizontal tail, triangular forward pointed wingtips to pierce the oncoming air like a Catamaran boat pierce the water as it travels forward. Essentially applying water wave piercing physics to aeronautic flight theory. The objective of the new airfoil design is to exhibit wind piercing effects in the air for reduce drag for greater fuel efficiency, lower radar cross section when radar beam hits it head on for stealth military application, flight efficiency at both low subsonic and high supersonic speed in this same fix wing plane without the need for a swing wing geometry configuration. All airfoils from small propeller airplanes to supersonic jet fighters can have this same type of wind piercing fix wing airfoil without the need for a swing wing geometry configuration. This airfoil will replace straight wing aircraft and swept wing aircraft due to that the fact that this wing piercing airfoil is flight efficient at low speeds like a straight wing airplane and flight efficient at high speeds like a swept wing airplane. | 02-09-2012 |
20120305699 | Front electric rotor helicopter - My invention is a helicopter having a front electric anti-torque rotor for the purpose of having a mechanically driven pusher propeller at the rear for increase forward speed.

My design is a high speed single rotor helicopter design that uses a gas-electric hybrid front electric anti-torque rotor system to allow for a mechanically driven pusher propeller at the rear. As the helicopter go forward, the front electric anti-torque gives control and the mechanically driven pusher propeller at the rear gives increase forward speed. The intent of the design is to make a high speed single rotor helicopter design. | 12-06-2012 |
