ABSTRACT:
A heavier-than-air craft having a cylindrical external configuration comprising a single annular airfoil forming a circumferential lift wing. This fixed circular wing is surrounded by a circular fuselage of substantially the same diameter, closely spaced axially above and below the outer periphery of the annular airfoil, to allow radial air flow over and under substantially the full circumference of the airfoil. The radial air flow is induced through an axial opening in the center of one surface of the circular fuselage by an engine driven propeller, fan or jet effect.
