ABSTRACT:
A body lift airplane assembly including 1) a main air lift body assembly of substantial length and width; 2) a landing gear/wheel assembly retractably connected to the main air lift body assembly; 3) a fixed wing assembly secured to and extended above the main air lift body assembly and having a fixed wing member of a length equal to the width of the main air lift body assembly; 4) an engine propulsion power assembly having a pair of spaced jet engine pod assemblies mounted within engine cut-out portions in outer edges of the main air lift body assembly; and 5) a fin and rudder assembly of a V-shape connected to a central rear portion of the main air lift body assembly. The main air lift body assembly includes a main body assembly having outer peripheral side and rear edges formed with downwardly extended arcuate air lift portions to provide air lift characteristics to the overall main air lift body assembly. The main air lift body assembly is provided with a passenger compartment section and a pilot control section and access thereto through an access escalator assembly and not dependent on external airport facility structures for loading and unloading. The jet engine pod assemblies each are operable to receive air flow from both above and below the main body assembly of the main air lift body assembly to increase the fuel combustion efficiency.
