ABSTRACT:
An aircraft has a plurality of pairs of disc-type wings behind each other kept by holding structures on the body of the craft. Each pair has one disc-type wing on the right and one disc type wing on the left of the body, symmetrically arranged relative to the body. The discs have propeller blades which can be retracted into the discs and be extended from the discs. The discs are also provided with windows wherein adjustable covers are located which can close and open the windows.
For forward flight the discs are slightly inclined to act as wings which carry the craft. For vertical take off and landing the propeller blades are extended from the discs while the discs are revolved for action of the propeller blades as lift providers for the craft. An analysis which is given in this specification shows that a considerable benefit is obtained at equal installation of power if at least two pairs of propeller revolving discs are provided on the aircraft.
