Light Weight Flying Car PPRW
20210403156 · 2021-12-30 ·

Flying Car PPRW (Pipe Prop Rotary Wing) of the present invention transforms a road legal car into a true flying car for travels on and off roadways as well as travels in airways. Flying Car PPRW is mounted on top, powered from below, and has a smaller footprint of the road legal car for unrestricted roadway travels. Flying Car PPRW incorporates a general PPRW documented in patent application Ser. No. 16/128,537 filed on Sep. 12, 2018; and both Flying Car PPRW and the general PPRW are each a propeller driven propulsion engine in a pipe profile with props or propellers rotating in part as rotary wings. Flying Car PPRW enhances propulsion performances through the shaping of airflow field patterns around props and by the increased relative airflow velocities between props of interacting planet and sun airfoils. The PPRW props in rotations propels directional air for lift and thrust forces transversely through and across the pipe along the length of the pipe; and when vectored, the air thrust and lift forces are turned into variable lift and thrust forces for takeoffs, landings, and air flights of the true flying car travelling in airways.
