AIRCRAFT FOR ROUND-THE-WORLD NON-STOP FLIGHT WITHOUT IN-FLIGHT FUELLING

摘要

FIELD: aeronautical engineering. SUBSTANCE: aircraft has twin-fuselage configuration; it includes two fuselages 1 and 2 interconnected by means of center wing section 5 with outer wing panels 6 and 7, two engines 8 and 9 operating the propellers and undercarriage legs 14 and 15; it is provided with PGO 16 and leading-edge slat 17 located in front of center wing section 5; angles and heights of PGO, leading-edge slat and center wing section are related by definite relationship; mounted on center wing section 5 are four propellers 10, 11, 12 and 13: two extreme propellers are tractor propellers 10 and 12 from three propellers 10, 11 and 12 evenly located over length of center wing section 5 and kinematically linked with engine 8 and two other propellers - tractor propeller 11 and pusher propeller 13 are mounted in tandem along longitudinal axis of symmetry of aircraft and are kinematically linked with engine 9. Engines 8 and 9 are located in area of connection of center wing section 5 with fuselages 1 and 2. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 2 dwg
