Abstract:
1. A strong, small, and compact stealth aircraft comprising: a rhomboid airframe with a dihedral bottom surface and an top surface designed as an airfoil, said top surface also having a front portion with an accelerator ramp and said dihedral bottom surface configured to cause a pressure differential under said airframe during take off and landings, and also provide greater pilot survivability during wheels-up emergency landings on hard runway surfaces and water; two tubes within said airframe, said tubes being stacked vertically one above the other within said airframe to create an upper tube and a lower tube, with said lower tube extending substantially the full length of said airframe and housing a nose landing gear and at least one engine; a plurality of main landing gears each housed for rotation to a storage position within said airframe; a canopy and a portion of said upper tube configured for providing a location to house a pilot; at least two flaps within said bottom surface configured for breaking said pressure differential under said airframe during take off and landings; and tail assembly means adapted to provide stabilization and control of said airframe during flight, whereas said rhomboid-dihedral structure of said airframe eliminates the need for a wing box providing reduced weight and reduced manufacturing cost, use of said tubes results in strong and light construction for said aircraft, and said tubes provide enhanced protection from ground fire.
