Fluid systems that include a co-flow jet
Fluid systems are described herein. An example embodiment of a fluid system has a first body portion, a second body portion, a plurality of supports, a plurality of fluid pressurizers, and a plurality of ducts. The first body portion and the second body portion cooperatively define an injection opening, a suction opening, and a channel that extends from the injection opening to the suction opening. The fluid pressurizer is disposed within the channel cooperatively defined by the first body portion and the second body portion. Each duct of the plurality of ducts is disposed within the channel cooperatively defined by the first body portion and the second body portion.
Telescoping propeller blades for aerial vehicles
Sounds are generated by an aerial vehicle during operation. For example, the motors and propellers of an aerial vehicle generate sounds during operation. Systems, methods, and apparatus may actively adjust the position and/or configuration of one or more propeller blades of a propulsion mechanism to generate different sounds and/or lifting forces from the propulsion mechanism.
High efficiency stall proof airfoil and means of control
A high-efficiency, stall-proof airfoil is an aircraft wing configuration whereby a motive force directly induces gaseous fluid flow across a lifting surface of the airfoil without requiring a movement of the wing through an air space. The airfoil is provided with means to control a pitch, a roll and a yaw motion and to control a position and stability of the aircraft. When not undergoing horizontal displacement, it provides highly efficient use of fuel resources, precluding the formation of drag and its incumbent power consumption. Air pressure at a bottom of the wing remains essentially ambient. Therefore, differential pressure between a lower surface of the wing and an upper surface of the wing maintains its maximum possible quantity. Virtually, all of the power consumed is utilized in a production of lift. Additionally, because lift is generated without regard to an angle-of-attack, forward speed, nor a configuration of a leading edge of the wing, the configuration is essentially stall proof.
Aerial vehicle propulsion mechanism with coaxially aligned propellers
Sounds are generated by an aerial vehicle during operation. For example, the motors and propellers of an aerial vehicle generate sounds during operation. Systems, methods, and apparatus may actively adjust the position and/or configuration of one or more propeller blades of a propulsion mechanism to generate different sounds and/or lifting forces from the propulsion mechanism.
AIRCRAFT GENERATING LARGER THRUST AND LIFT BY FLUID CONTINUITY
The invention discloses an aircraft generating a larger thrust and lift by fluid continuity. First open channels used to extend fluid paths are formed in front parts and/or middle parts of windward sides of wings of the aircraft and extend from sides, close to the fuselage, of the wings to sides, away from the fuselage, of the wings, and the first open channels are concave channels or convex channels, so that a pressure difference in a direction identical with a moving direction is generated from back to front due to different flow speeds of fluid flowing over the windward sides of the wings in a lengthwise direction and a widthwise direction to reduce fluid resistance, and a larger pressure difference and lift are generated due to different flow speeds on the windward sides and leeward sides of the wings.
Fluid Systems That Prevent the Formation of Ice
Fluid systems are described herein. An example fluid system includes a main body and a heating member attached to the main body. The main body has a leading edge, a trailing edge, an injection opening, a suction opening, a channel, a first passageway, a second passageway, a first opening, a second opening, and a third opening. The channel extends from the injection opening to the suction opening. The first passageway extends from the first opening to the second opening. The first opening is in communication with the channel and the second opening is in communication with the second passageway. The second passageway is in communication with the first passageway and extends to the third opening, which is in communication with a first environment exterior to the second passageway. The heating member is sized and configured to heat fluid traveling through the second passageway.

FLIGHT VEHICLE GENERATING A LIFT FROM AN INTERIOR THEREOF
The invention discloses a flight vehicle generating a lift from an interior thereof. The fluid channel inside the flight vehicle communicates with the engine and the ports on the upper surface of the outer shell. With the powerful suction of the engine, the fluid on the upper surface of the outer shell is quickly sucked into the fluid channel via respective ports under conditions of long path, large area, high speed and low air pressure, which results in large lift from the interior of the flight vehicle. In the course of generating the lift, the fluid resistances of the fluid wall and the fluid hole are sucked into the fluid channel through the ports at the front and the surrounding area of the flight vehicle, then high-speed fluid is emitted from the rear port. This approach contributes greatly to the transformation of the existing flight vehicle. The present invention significantly improves the lift, the speed and the carrying capacity of the existing flight vehicle with lowered energy consumption.
THRUST REVERSAL ON AIRCRAFT FUSELAGE WITH A WING PROFILE
An aircraft includes a fuselage having a wing profile. An apparatus for thrust reversal is disposed on the tail of the aircraft. Air feed takes place from the outside, by way of a braking flap with an air intake channel and/or from a propelling machine.
