WINGLESS AIRCRAFT

Abstract

Wings do not produce lift. It is the thrust provided by an engine (or engines) that enable an aircraft to rise off the ground.

Claims

1. This type of aircraft has an elongated fuselage, rudder, elevator and engine, but does not have wings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] Wings are totally unnecessary for flight. It is the thrust provided by an engine that forces an aircraft off the ground and into the air.

[0012] When an aircraft is moving down the runway, it doesn't life off until the pilot pulls back on the wheel. This causes the elevator flap to tilt up. Air pressure on the elevator flap then forces the tail of the aircraft down. Consequently, the nose of the aircraft is pointed up and, if thrust produced by the engine is great enough, the aircraft will rise off the ground. After that, the aircraft rises or falls in accordance with the elevator flap position.

[0013] Without wings, air travel would be safer, cost of aircraft would be much lower and fuel consumption would be much lower.
