ABSTRACT:
A stealth transporter aircraft having a rhomboid airframe with a dihedral bottom surface and a top surface designed as an airfoil. The rhomboid cross-sectional configuration of the airframe gives it increased lift, stealth characteristics, and enhanced load bearing capacity. The aircraft does not have conventional wing structure and its dihedral bottom surface allows it to make wheels-up emergency landings on water and hard runway surfaces with greater pilot survivability. A rigid central tubular area extending nearly the full length of the airframe is configured for passengers, luggage, munitions, and/or equipment and provides a backbone for the aircraft. The aircraft further has rear engines, a large fuel carrying capability, and may also undergo primarily interior modifications for function as a space plane or air-to-air fueling tanker. A vortex spoiler on the side edges of the airframe is also preferred, which eliminates trails while in high altitude flight.
