An aircraft 1 with a spiral inducing assembly 2 which is capable of inducing the aircraft to travel in a continuous spiralling motion without the aircraft rolling. Two fins 6 and 17 are attached to a tube 3a that is able to rotate around the encircled part of the fuselage. The fins 6, 17 are able to rotate in a pivoting manner on the rotatable tube 3a with respect to the rotatable tube 3a, thereby changing their pitch relative to the longitudinal axis of the rotatable tube 3a. Rotation of the rotatable tube is achieved by using an electric motor 3b turning a wheel 3c. The wheel 3c makes contact with the rotatable tube. When pitched at an angle to the longitudinal axis in unison, both fins 6, 17 would exert a lateral force on the rotatable tube 3a. But as the rotatable tube is pushed sideways, it rotates, and hence the lateral direction of push constantly revolves, causing a spiralling motion of the aircraft when in flight. The rotation of one fin causes the rotation of another fin.
An aircraft comprising a tube, which tube encircles part of the aircraft and is able to rotate relative to the encircled part of the aircraft, and which aircraft comprises a means to rotate the tube relative to the encircled part of the aircraft, which aircraft also comprises a plurality of fins, which fins are connected to the tube such that the fins can be rotated in a pivoting manner relative to the tube, and such that the fins can be rotated in the said pivoting manner in the same direction relative to the tube, and which aircraft also comprises a fin rotating mechanism by which fin rotating mechanism the fins can be rotated in the said pivoting manner in the same direction as each other relative to the tube and such that rotation of one fin in a pivoting manner relative to the tube causes rotation of another fin relative to the tube in the same direction as a direction of rotation of the said one fin relative to the tube.
