Patent ID: 8632032

Claim:
An improved aircraft comprising: an increased horizontal distance between a leading edge of a wing of said improved aircraft and an intake of an engine of said improved aircraft, wherein the increased horizontal distance between the leading edge of the wing of said improved aircraft and the intake of the engine of said improved aircraft is relative to a horizontal distance between the leading edge of the wing of said improved aircraft and the intake of the engine of said improved aircraft when said improved aircraft is in its non-improved state, and wherein said increased distance reduces drag and increases lift of said wing for improved flight dynamics of said improved aircraft; and a pylon disposed between said engine and a fuselage of said improved aircraft, wherein said pylon provides a fitted, flap free airfoil inverted in shape about its longitudinal axis relative to an airfoil shape provided by said wing about its longitudinal axis, said pylon provides improved flight dynamics of said improved aircraft, and further wherein a center of mass of the engine of said improved aircraft is positioned an increased horizontal distance from a centerline of the fuselage of said improved aircraft relative to a horizontal distance between a center of mass of an engine and a centerline of a fuselage of the non-improved aircraft, in which the centerline of the fuselage of the non-improved aircraft and the improved aircraft are a common centerline.
