An aircraft 1 in the form of an aeroplane with a spiral inducing assembly 2 which is capable of inducing the aeroplane to travel in a continuous spiralling motion without rolling. Two fins 3 and 4 are attached to a tube 5 that is able to rotate around the encircled part of the fuselage. The fins 3, 4 are able to rotate in a pivoting manner on the rotatable tube 5 with respect to the rotatable tube 5, thereby changing their pitch relative to the longitudinal axis of the rotatable tube 5. Fin 3 is larger than fin 4. The diferene in sizes between the fins makes the larger fin 3 exert a greater force on the rotatable tube 4 than the smaller fin 4 when the fins are pitched in unison. The aerodynamic imbalance between the fins thus casues the rotatable tube 5 to rotate. When pitched at an angle to the longitudinal axis in unison, both fins 3, 4 would exert a lateral force on the rotatable tube 5. Thus, as well as forcing the rotatable tube 5 to rotate, the fins 3, 4 would also push the rotatable tube sideways. But as the rotatable tube is pushed sideways, it rotates, and hence the lateral direction of push constantly revolves, causing a spiralling motion when in flight.
An aircraft with a spiral inducing assembly, which said spiral inducing assembly is capable of forcing the aircraft to travel in a spiralling motion during flight of the said aircraft, and which said spiral inducing assembly consists of a tube, which said tube is a primary tube, and which said primary tube encircles part of the aircraft and is able to rotate relative to the encircled part of the aircraft, with a plurality of fins connected to the said primary tube, which said fins are connected to the primary tube such that the said fins can be rotated in a pivoting manner relative to the primary tube, and such that the said fins can be rotated in the said pivoting manner in the same direction, and which said spiral inducing assembly has a fin rotating mechanism by which the said fins can be rotated in the said pivoting manner, and by which said fin rotating mechanism the said fins can be rotated in the said pivoting manner and in the same direction such that during flight of the said aircraft one of the said fins connected to the primary tube can continuously exert a greater magnitude of force on the said primary tube than can another of the said fins that is connected to the said primary tube.
