Thanks for the help. I've had some trouble with the patent offices images before, but didn't bother to solve it.
As for the patents:
The one about the saucser like hyper maneuverable vehicle really reminds me of the Silverbug and the Avro Car both from Avro Canada. And I think it
has the same disadvatages as those designs: it is simply not flexible and has allmost no potential for design variations.
This saucer is an integrated engine and it has little room for anything else. I can imagine a formation of three of these packed in a triangle vehicle
but that is too limiting and would result in a simple lifting platform probably less efective than a hellicopter.
I think it's not a promising invention and it's not very likely to be developed.
Sorry if I'm dissapoiting you.
The second one sounds good but it may take some time untill it's perfected.
The Idea of a swinging platform inside the aircraft can surely scare most engineers away. The heavy construction associated with the design is the
biggest hurdel to it.
But I think there allready is a system that can provide a pilot with that capebility
www.autofluglibelle.com...
It's a "new" Anti-g suite that is filled with water.
It supposedly gives a pilot the abillity to sustain 10gs and still be able to speak normally. That is surely not the case with current anti-g that can
give you a maximum of 12gs and I'm still serching on the maximum that this libelle suite can give you.
