ABSTRACT:
An aircraft1with a spiral inducing assembly2which is capable of inducing the aircraft to travel in a continuous spiralling motion without the aircraft rolling. Two fins6and17are attached to a tube3that is able to rotate around the encircled part of the fuselage. The fins6, 17are able to rotate in a pivoting manner on the rotatable tube3with respect to the rotatable tube3, thereby changing their pitch relative to the longitudinal axis of the rotatable tube3. Fin6is larger than fin17. The difference in sizes between the fins makes the larger fin6exert a greater force on the rotatable tube3than the smaller fin17when the fins are pitched in unison. The aerodynamic imbalance between the fins thus causes the rotatable tube3to rotate. When pitched at an angle to the longitudinal axis in unison, both fins6, 17would exert a lateral force on the rotatable tube3. Thus, as well as forcing the rotatable tube3to rotate, the fins6, 17would also push the rotatable tube sideways. But as the rotatable tube is pushed sideways, it rotates, and hence the lateral direction of push constantly revolves, causing a spiralling motion of the aircraft when in flight.
