Abstract:
An aircraft having a wing with a topside and a bottom side with the wing having a skin with an exterior surface and an interior surface, said interior surface having a plurality of jets attached to the interior surface of the skin to direct air along the wing through flexing of the skin whereby the skin of the aircraft forms an integral hinge for extending or retraction the first plurality of jets, a compressor for receiving outside air and generating pressurized air, a set of ducts for directing the pressurized air into flow straighteners so that pressurized air is directed rearwardly along the top of the wing to decrease the pressure on top of the wing and forwardly along the bottom surface of the wing to increase the pressure on the bottom of the wing to thereby increase the lift of the wing to thereby permit said aircraft to takeoff and land at a ground speed slower than if the pressurized air was not directed over the wing.
