ABSTRACT:
An aircraft comprises a hollow elongated body having a plurality of short wings projecting outwardly form the body in a vertically stacked array. The wings transverse substantially the entire length of the body. Engines with diameters substantially equal to the maximum width of the wings are mounted behind the wings, with at least one engine mounted on either side of the aircraft. Honeycomb structures mounted behind each engine cause the air thrust rearward by the engines to be directed as a smooth laminar flow of air. Air deflectors mounted behind the honeycomb structures deflect the air thrust rearward by the engines. A steering mechanism can orient the deflectors: (i) in a downward direction to provide an upward lifting force on the aircraft, or (ii) in an upward direction to provide a downward force on the aircraft, or (iii) in a port or starboard direction to steer the aircraft. Landing gear is attached to the bottom of the aircraft. Resilient structures are used to absorb shock in case of a crash.
