ABSTRACT:
A dual-function aircraft is disclosed having a fuselage shaped like an airfoil, a series of airfoils of shorter chord length arranged in tandem and disposed below the fuselage to provide additional aerodynamic lift, and a downwardly movable rear wall and a pivoted forward airfoil which forms a plenum chamber under the fuselage and produce a cushion of air during the ground mode. Transition from the ground effect mode to the flight mode is made in flight by simultaneously lowering the tandem of airfoils, lifting the rear wall and altering the angle of attack of the forward airfoil.
