ABSTRACT:
An aircraft structured particularly, as a whole to improve its capacity for accelerating by the means of transforming stored motion of mass into translocational motion of the aircraft; the aircraft is structured particularly, as a whole, to improve its capacities for storing motion of mass and for transforming stored motion of mass into translocational motion of itself; motion preferrably in stored as orbital motion of the aircraft's parts; the stored orbital motion preferrably is transformed by aerodynamic action into translocational motion of the aircraft; the means for storing orbital motion preferrably consists of a rotor, within the periphery of which are situated the aircraft's sustaining, propelling, motion transformation, fuel containment, and landing means; situated within said appended to a generally nonrotating fuselage are, respectively, a pilot area and a means for controlling the source of translocational flight; the preferred motion transforming means comprises a plurality of rotor blades, each of which has a longitudinal axis aligned generally with a radius of the rotor axis and of which is tiltable about a longitudinal axis, and effects the transformation with an appropriate rate collective alteration of the blade lateral axes from coincident with the blade orbital planer to the perpendiculars thereto, which alternation aerodynamically transforms the rotation of the rotor into axial motion thereof; the spin axes of the spinning mechanisms of the propulsion means parallel the rotor axis; appended to each propulsion means is a thrust redirecting means which enables the former to propel the rotor both rotationally and axially.
