Abstract:
The present invention provides one pair or two pairs of horizontal propellers incorporated on the two opposite sides of an aircraft, which propellers by their rotating external blades create through their frontal shell opening a very strong frontal depression, stronger than their drag, providing an horizontal motion subsonic or supersonic, but their main advantage arise from the supersonic speed power requirement which is less than 20% of that of equivalent supersonic aircraft&#39;s, with consequent economy of construction, of maintenance and mainly in flight cost, and also a multiple in flight range and obviously respectively decrease of air pollution. Also if a vertical take-off and landing are required, these propellers by their internal blade could function as radial-flow propeller or blowers until their horizontal speed attains that required to support the aircraft by their wings, then by obstructing the radial-flow of the propeller and increasing the external blades rotation a supersonic speed is attained with the same economical and operational advantages of previous paragraph. And all that with only the present day technology.

Description:
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION  
         [0001]    The present invention relates to the invention disclosed in European Patent EP 0120263 that is incorporated by reference. This Patent model test measurements madden at the Athens Technical University wind tunnel during 1993 (see table 1 of page 2) proved the insufficiency of frontal depression by friction,  
           [0002]    The supersonic propeller mode) test measurements madden on the same wind tunnel during 1994 (see table 2 of page 3) proved the substantial improvement of frontal depression by vertical blades, as shown on FIG. 1 here after.  
         FIELD OF THE INVENTION  
         [0003]    The field of the invention is the flight of air-vehicle by frontal depression, more intense than that of rear air stream separation zone, instead of the conventional very strong rear overpressure, which is also more expensive. This aeronautic area has not been explored or exploited even it present very interesting characteristics, especially economical.  
           [0004]    The frontal depression is secured by adding in the frontal impact zone an horizontal rotation speed on the thin air boundary layer, eliminating any overpressure on that zone, and without effecting the general air flow around the stream lined air-vehicle fuselage. Theorycaly this is based on the non vector of Bemouili Theorem  
         P   +     ρ          V   2     2         =   C                         
 
         DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART  
         [0005]    Air vehicle motion elements can be classified in two broad areas.  
           [0006]    The first area includes the axial flow propellers, having a perimeter speed limit of Mach one, and an efficiency factor less than 70% consequently their impulsion speed is only subsonic.  
           [0007]    The second area includes the radial flow of multi step turbofans, having a supersonic impulsion speed up to about 2.5 Mach but with an excessive fuel consumption.  
         SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
         [0008]    To remedy this drawback the wind-tunnel test measures made on EU 0120263 Patent model of table 1 and of FIG. 1 and of FIG. 2 have been considered, indicating that:  
           [0009]    The additional side speed to the frontal air flow by only the smooth surface friction of the rotating impeller proved to be insufficient.

SIMPLE SUPERSONIC PROPELLER (FIGS. 9. 10 . 11 ) is constituted by an horizontal streamlined shell of thin profile and reduced drag, having an upper semiellipsoid convex boundary ( 1 ) and a lower slightly convex boundary ( 2 ) with a central to the axis, supported by bearings, on which is fixed an impeller of semiellipsoid surface ( 4 ) full of vertical very dense and of short width (4mm) blades ( 4 ), which secure the side speed of the tangential air layer through the large front opening ( 4 ) on the impact area, and the respective frontal depression, according to Bernoulli theorem, creating the horizontal motion which can reach even a supersonic speed. The impeller axis is connected to the motor by cogwheels ( 10 ) clutches ( 11 ) and gear box ( 12 ) permitting the increase of the imperial rotation. The propeller is fixed by rafters ( 13 ).

       DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS  
       [0053]    The supersonic propeller is the evolution of the No 1396630 Russian and No 17221244 Japanes patents.  
         [0054]    This propeller has nothing in common with conventional propellers, except their rotation. The supersonic propeller is horizontal and based on the non vector Bernouilli Theorem  
         P   +     ρ          V   2     2         =   C                         
 
         [0055]    where the pressure P remains unchanged for any direction of equal speed. That makes feasible the avoidance of any overpressure on the impact front area of streamlined fuselages, by adding to their front airflow a side speed by a rotating depression impeller.  
         [0056]    Because the frontal depression is proportional to the rotation applied, it is easy to attain a frontal pressure lower than that of the rear separation region and produce a speed motion subsonic or even supersonic.  
         [0057]    Wind tunnel tests defined that for a motion speed with a drag coefficient 0,6 an equal rotation speed of the supersonic propeller is required [table 1, page 2].

       1.1. SHELL (FIG.  4 , 5 , 6 )  
       [0059]    The supersonic propeller is incorporated in a shell of thin profile and reduced drag with a convex semi ellipsoidal boundary ( 1 ) around a vertical axis, expressed by  
         r 2 +k 2 z 2 =R 1   2  where K=3 to 5 
         [0060]    and a light convex lower semi ellipsoidal boundary ( 2 ) around the same vertical axis, for including the connecting rafters of fuselage-shell-wings. This boundary ( 2 ) is expressed also by r 2 +k 2 z 2 =R 1   2  where K1=10 to 15 and R1=0,9R. According to the Bernouilli theorem the drag force of the shell can be calculated from  
       Fx   =       ∫   0     R   /   κ              ∫     -     π   2         +     π   2              ρ        1   2          V   2                        y                        z                                 
 
         [0061]    but this drag is expressed also by the relation  
         F   x     =       C   x        ρ          V   2     2          (       π                   R   2         2      x       )                             
 
         [0062]    where  
       (       π                   R   2         2      x       )

         [0064]    in the case the shell incorporates also a blower for vertical flight, take-off and landing, it is also characterized by the upper circular opening ( 6 ) close to the rotation axis with no rotating deflector vanes (to secure the vertical impeller blower air stream) and front, ( 8 ) side ( 8 ) and rear ( 9 ) obstruction vanes, for obstructing the vertical impeller blower air stream, when the air-vehicle wings are providing the required lift force making available all the motor power for increasing. the impeller rotation and the air vehicle speed accordingly.  
         [0065]    Also the rear obstruction vane ( 9 ) reinstates the rear shell ellipsoid profile and decreases the drag force. The lower boundary is also characterized by a circular opening, close to its perimeter, with no rotating deflector vanes ( 7 ).

       [0066]    The impeller is a rotor ( 3 ) rotating around a center axis supported by bearings, with a perimeter semi ellipsoid surface similar to that of the surrounding shell ( 1 ) and of height equal to the frontal shell opening ( 4 ) characterized by very dense and short width external vertical depression blades ( 4 ), and when the vertical flight is necessary the impeller is characterized also by internal tilted blades ( 5 ) terminated in the up and down to deflector vanes ( 6  and 7 ) at the shell ( 1 , 2 ) [FIG. 5].

       2.2. HORIZONTAL PULLING FORCE  
       [0081]    The frontal motioning force of supersonic propeller is calculated according the formula

         [0083]    Which means that the propeller cannot provide the starting motion unless it is provided with internal lifting blower blades.  
       2.3. HORIZONTAL PULLING POWER  
       [0084]    The strong rear impulsion of conventional aircraft&#39;s is substituted by the very limited frontal and lateral impulsion of the supersonic propeller, which consequently require a very restricted motor power.

         P=18.13×10 −6  R(ωR)V 
       3. VERTICAL FLYING CHARACTERISTICS  
     3.1. LIFTING FORCE  
       [0092]    The lift force of internal impeller space result from the overpression of the lower circular opening and the depression of the upper circular opening and the impulsion of the air drawn from above and expelled down, functioning as a radial-flow or centrifugal propeller.  
         [0093]    The vertical resultant of there overpressure and depression and the lift by impulse on the air flow speed with deflection at levels 1 and 2 provide a lift force for each supersonic propeller  
       3.2. LIFRING POWER  
       [0094]    The rate of vertical flow per second is  
         Q=2×R 2 b 0 V J02 =0,459R 2 (ωR)

         [0096]    and the engine magnitude is to be  
         P IN =0.0006R 3 (ωR) 3   
       4. FUEL ECONOMY  
       [0097]    The side impulsion of the tangential thin air-layer by the supersonic propeller is obviously smallest, when compared to the turbofan gas exhaust impulsion, and the same happens with the respective power requirement, as be derived from the aerodynamic theory and was proven by wind tunnel tests, and it is to be noted, that propeller&#39;s efficiency increases in a turbulent or supersonic environment. Using the figures of previous paragraphs 2.3.1 and 2.3.3 for a low speed of V=50 m/s and the respective equal rotation speed (ωR)=50 m/s is found out by tests. The expected economy is  
         F   .   E   .     =         [     1   -       P   M       P   v         ]        100      %     =         [     1   -     18.13   150       ]        100      %     =     88      %                               
 
       5. START-FLIGHT  
       [0098]    The initial flight of the propeller air vehicle is possible:  
       5.1. AUTOMATICALLY  
       [0099]    By internal tilted blades of the propeller operating as a blower with a rotation speed corresponding to the vehicle wing gliding speed.  
         [0100]    For this purpose two circular openings are provided, one is placed above and close to the axis of rotation and a second below close to the perimeter of the base.  
         [0101]    After the gliding speed is attained the upper opening is obstructed and all the power is available for increasing the rotation of the propeller.  
         [0102]    The computation of such blowers are included on a separate text with a performance coefficient n=70%.  
         [0103]    The vertical take-off and vertical landing and the horizontal supersonic speed are applicable to all kinds of air vehicle as shown in the same text.  
       5.2. INDEPENDENT  
       [0104]    With an independent propeller for take-off by runway run and simultaneous rotation of the two impellers.  
         [0105]    After the take-off, the propellers are released and the impellers are rotated faster and so the speed of air vehicle is increased.  
         [0106]    This is applicable on small tourist aircraft&#39;s and on U.A.V.  
       6. FLIGHT PATTERN OF AIRCRAFT&#39;S WITH SUPERSONIC PROPELLERS  
       [0107]    Flying procedure  
         [0108]    The air vehicles incorporating supersonic propellers fly according the following phases based on the solution of the horizontal and the vertical forces equations:  
         [0109]    6.1. Vertical flight  
         [0110]    This lasts 10 to 20 seconds with a vertical acceleration 2 to 1 m/s 2  until the air vehicle attains an altitude 120 to 300 m.  
         [0111]    6.2. Initial horizontal flight  
         [0112]    The air vehicle is then tilted forward 10 to 20 degrees, by closing the frontal obstructor vanes and the horizontal speed is initiated. The first flight of 3 to 7 seconds produced by the tilted lifting propeller and the air vehicle weight occurs  6 . 3 . Accelerating speed until gliding one.  
         [0113]    After the previous phase the frontal depression intervenes and produces an accelerating speed of 0,3 to 2g until the speed attains the gliding speed which is generally 100 to 200 m/s.  
         [0114]    This phase lasts about 60 sec during which the altitude of 6.000 ft is attained.  
         [0115]    6.4. Increase of availability power  
         [0116]    When the fuselage gliding speed is attained, the propeller vertical air flow is no longer required and it is obstructed by the respective vanes. Consequently the power required initially for lifting of the air vehicle becomes available for increasing the propeller rotation which decreases the frontal depression and consequently encrease the horizontal speed.  
         [0117]    6.5. Farther enhanced in speed  
         [0118]    By reestablishing the semi ellipsoidal profile of the fuselage over the rear part of its circular opening the impeller fuselage drag coefficient is decreased from about 0,53 to 0,15 or less. Accordingly without changing the rotation speed of the propeller the speed increases about 80%.  
         [0119]    6.6. Farther increases in speed including supersonic speeds.  
         [0120]    By increasing the propeller&#39;s rotation speed its respective horizontal speed is increased and the figures attained are the following:  
         [0121]    Rotation speed (ωR)=100 to 300 m/s  
         [0122]    Horizontal speed V=1,5 to 2,5 Mach  
         [0123]    Acceleration 0,5 to g but possibility of 8g exist  
         [0124]    Altitude of 30,000 ft is attained after two minutes  
         [0125]    Maximum speed is attained after 3 minutes  
         [0126]    6.7. Landing procedure  
         [0127]    The descent and landing are performed by reversing the above phases.
