ABSTRACT:
An aircraft1with a spiral inducing assembly2which is capable of inducing the aircraft to travel in a continuous spiraling motion without the aircraft rolling. A ramjet6bis attached to a tube3athat is able to rotate around the encircled part of the fuselage. The ramjet6bis able to rotate in a pivoting manner on the rotate-able tube3awith respect to the rotate-able tube3a, thereby changing their pitch relative to the longitudinal axis of the rotate-able tube3a. Ramjet6bis rotated as is another ramjet on the right side of the tube3a. The rotate-able tube3ais rotated by means of an electric motor3brotating a wheel3c. The difference in degree of rotation between the ramjets makes the ramjet6bexert a greater force on the rotate-able tube3athan the ramjet on the right side when the ramjets are rotated in the same direction. The imbalance between the rotational forces thus causes the rotate-able tube3ato rotate. When rotated, the ramjets would exert a lateral force on the rotate-able tube3a. Thus, the ramjets would push the rotate-able tube sideways. But as the rotate-able tube is pushed sideways, it rotates, and hence the lateral direction of push constantly revolves, causing a spiraling motion of the aircraft when in flight.
