ABSTRACT:
A hybrid aircraft with a large non-rotating balloon chamber containing a lighter-than-air gas which provides a large static lifting force having a magnitude substantially greater than the weight of the aircraft with a support structure system which is substantially longer in length than in width which is encased by the balloon chamber the support structure system having two ends which protrude from the balloon chamber at opposite sides along the center line of the balloon chamber with a rotatable rotor frame suspended from the ends of the support structure system about the non-rotating balloon chamber. The craft has a plurality of blade airfoils connected to the rotor frame and oriented radially relative to the balloon chamber and which the angle of attack of each blade can be varied. A thrust means is mounted at or near the outboard end of the blade airfoils. Wing airfoil perpendicularly connected to the end of the blade airfoil at the same end as the thrust means and which the angle of attack of each blade can be varied. The craft has cab, load line and a means of anti-torque as required.
