Abstract: This invention relates to a composite aircraft comprising a conventional aircraft (2) and a carrier aircraft (4) connected together during flight as a composite aircraft by way of a connector (6). The carrier aircraft has a vertical takeoff and/or landing capability and the conventional aircraft is provided with a directable propulsion nozzle so that during operations as a composite aircraft lift is shared by components of lift from the propulsion systems of both aircraft. Therefore, by connecting itself to the carrier aircraft, the conventional aircraft may takeoff and/or land vertically as the case may be, but without the requirement for a vertical takeoff and/or landing capability of its own and all the weight penalties associated therewith. Once the desired vertical takeoff manoeuvre has been completed by the composite aircraft the two aircraft may then be disconnected and the conventional aircraft may then continue its flight, while the carrier aircraft 4 may return to base and then carry out another vertical takeoff for another conventional aircraft, or it may, in an in-flight refuelling like operation, mate with a conventional aircraft, and land vertically as a composite aircraft.

Abstract: Process for the amplification of RNA, comprising the steps of denaturing the RNA by heating a solution containing it, synthesizing a first strand of cDNA from an appropriate primer in the presence of a reverse transcriptase, denaturing the heteroduplex formed, synthesizing the second strand of cDNA from a second primer in the presence of DNA polymerase, and then subjecting the cDNA obtained to a sufficient number of amplification cycles. By virtue of the discovery that certain reverse transcriptases which are not reputed thermostable are capable, when they are used in sufficient quantity, of withstanding a treatment of denaturation of RNA by heat, at a temperature greater than or equal to 60 DEG C, and even to be able to function, after this treatment, at high temperatures corresponding to sufficiently discriminating conditions, this process is characterised by the fact that the said RNA solution contains from the beginning, all the reagents and solvents necessary for the said steps and that all the steps are carried out in the same vessel without addition of reagents or solvents. It is thus possible to carry out the procedure, under satisfactory conditions, in a single handling step, thereby avoiding especially risk of contamination. Application especially to the diagnosis of bacterial or viral infections, and of genetic disorders, as well as to cell typing.
