Abstract
An aircraft includes a fuselage having a wing profile. An apparatus for thrust reversal is disposed on the tail of the aircraft. Air feed takes place from the outside, by way of a braking flap with an air intake channel and/or from a propelling machine.
Claims3
An aircraft comprising:
- (a) a fuselage having a nose and a wing profile;
- (b) a propelling machine in the fuselage for propelling the aircraft up to hypersonic speed;
- (c) a tail connected to the fuselage, the tail comprising a plurality of tail deflection flaps movable between an open position and a closed position;
- (d) a first air supply channel disposed in the fuselage, wherein the first air supply channel is connected and supplies air to the propelling machine, the first air supply channel having an air inlet opening;
- (e) a second air supply channel disposed in the fuselage, wherein the second air supply channel is connected and supplies air to the tail;
- (f) a braking flap connected to the second air supply channel, wherein the braking flap is movable between an open position and a closed position;
- (g) a plurality of nose deflection flaps on the nose, wherein the nose deflection flaps are movable between an open position and a closed position;
- and
- (h) an exhaust gas channel disposed in the fuselage, wherein the exhaust gas channel is connected to the propelling machine and extends toward the nose;
- wherein for aircraft take-off the nose deflection flaps are open, the tail deflection flaps are closed, and the braking flap is closed, and take-off takes place in such a way that the propelling machine sucks in air via the first air supply channel and the air inlet opening, the propelling machine pressurizes the air, the pressurized air is guided to the nose via the exhaust gas channel, the pressurized air escapes at the nose and is led by the nose deflection flaps over the wing profile and under the wing profile of the fuselage;
- wherein lift is ensured via the fuselage having the wing profile:
- and
- wherein opening the braking flap and the tail deflection flaps causes a thrust reversal on the tail for braking and landing of the aircraft.
