ABSTRACT:
A vertical take-off and landing aircraft features an improved tail-lifting rotor and rotor directional controls. A new type of suction pressure jet-mechanical-flap rotor blade with a higher coefficient of lift is employed. The aircraft has a mechanism for loading and unloading passengers and a more efficient method of handling baggage and cargo. A much more efficient utilization of space in the fuselage is achieved through a reduced height passenger space and overhead rotor storage compartment.
