Basic
information about the development
1.1.Denomination proposed development -
"Vacuum airship" .
One possible view of Vacuum airship
Types of drawing authorities on nature
1.2.Offered development refers to "aircraft
lighter than air" or - the airships.
1.3.The given development aimed
at further development of the "aircraft lighter than air" in order to
ensure their competitiveness with other aircraft (airplanes, helicopters, and
classic airships).
1.4.The device of aircraft lighter
than air (airship), a rigid hull evacuated
just before takeoff. The material of the shell (eg, spherical part of it, or conical ) can be applied to the currently available
metal. The degree of vacuum shell can be changed with the commands onboard
control system pre-flight and in its process. Vacuum airship should be a shell
close to the disc-shaped or cigar-shaped, which is necessary to ensure optimum
performance. Vacuumised device simultaneously unload the airship evacuated
envelope of atmosphere compression, resulting in this shell is thin and light,
but strong and rigid. Also successfully solved the problem of increasing the
stability of angular position of the aircraft in flight, which will be more
than enough to fly in the atmosphere in all weather conditions and,
accordingly, will be significantly higher than the classic airships. The
combination of a rigid shell with a high stability of angular position of the
vacuum airship will enable the this airship to flight with speed from the
smallest to the flight speeds of planes . The high maneuverability of the
vacuum disc-shaped airship in flight achieved through the circular rotation of
the vector thrust propulsion motor (s) about the axis of symmetry of the
aircraft, which will guarantee its vertical takeoff and landing.
1.5. Thus, can be created
entirely new type of airship, view which is shown in the figure above. Very
heavy vacuum airship can have form torpedo.
Application
and assessment of the potential market
2.1.The combination high speed flight with vertical takeoff and landing, as
well as increased reliability and safety be ensure of the vacuum airship the
possible successfully compete with classical airships, as well as with
airplanes and helicopters. Vacuum airship can be used primarily for passenger
and freight traffic.
2.2.Of the competitors this development in Russia and abroad are not present.
Unique
advantages and disadvantages of the proposed development
3.1.Analog vacuum airship could be a classic gas airships. To the best world analogues
can be attributed "Zeppelin".
3.2.Now (in spite of all their faults) classic
airships manufactured worldwide. They made in small but increasing
numbers in countries such as USA, England, Italy, France, Japan, Germany, and
Russia. For example, in Russia known aeronautic center "Augur"
(Moscow).
3.3. Shortcomings of the classical airships are
the following:
- small flight speed in comparison with
airplanes ;
- low stability of the angular position of the
airship in space (especially in low speeds and wind);
- low maneuverability;
- low reliability of the shell;
- need a leash or a hangar and airfield landing
team.
3.4.These shortcomings of classical airships
and airplanes can be eliminated using vacuum airships.
3.4.1. Vacuum airships compared with other
types of aircraft may have more safety due to the simultaneous use of two types
of the lifting force , namely aerostatic (the value of which is
independent of the engine thrust level ) and aerodynamic. If disappears
aerostatic lifting force, vacuum airship may switch to using only aerodynamic
lift force generated by the engine and corps of the aircraft, ie, the plane
with a circular wing. On the other hand - in the time of an engine failure and
level flight the airship hangs in the air, to use of the aerostatic lifting
force. After hanging airship
can made a soft landing on Earth for repairs.
3.4.2. Due to the rigidity of the vacuum
envelope of the airship and its high angular stability, speed of flight of the
vacuum airship may be equal to the speed of the airplane.
3.4.3.Vertical take-off or landing of the
vacuum airship (with zero forward speed) more safe with what takeoff and
landing of the airplane (because of the largStatistics show that up to 70% of
the plane crash occurs at their takeoff and landing.
The successful landing of the aircraft on the
runway at the airfield almost impossible at a dense fog, heavy rain or snow.
Vertical landing of the vacuum airship under the same weather conditions
and the presence on board of the altimeter will be easy and successful.e
horizontal takeoff or landing speed of the airplane.)
3.4.4.With a decrease in flight speed of the
vacuum airship even to zero it in contrast to the aircraft he no enters the
"spin". To exit from the "spin" the aircraft may not
have be enough height above the Earth.
3.4.5. High maneuverability achieved through
the circular rotation of the thrust vector main engines to the vertical
construction line of the airship.
3.4.6. Reliability shell vacuum airship above
safety shell of the gas airship through the use of metals, and also due to the
continuous pumping of air from the shell.
3.4.7.Vacuum airship need not be tied to the
earth and do not need a hangar, as it is always in the parking lot heavier than
air (like an airplane).
Problems of
Development
4.1.As outlined in my book "Vacuum airship" necessary completion of
the research projects. To do this, need to sign a contract with TsAGI on some
specialized studies in order to get aerodynamic and thermal characteristics of
vacuum airship.
4.2.Term and the approximate cost of the work determined in the contract.
The degree of completion of
development
5.1. Flight model of the device is not present, because it is too expensive for
me. Model of Small scale ready. The tests of scale model was confirmed by
the possibility of vacuuming of the envelope while ensuring its integrity under
the pressure of the atmosphere.
5.2.Na moment I worked on the book "Vacuum airship",have 130 pages of
text formatted on a computer, format A 4. The book presents the author
developed the theoretical basis of the design and construction of vacuum
airships. Read " Preface " and " Introduction . " In the
book also proposes to complete scientific research (R & D) and carrying out
development works (OCD) with production of the required number of bench and
flight sample of vacuum airship. The first phase can be designed and
manufactured the vacuum airship semirigid construction with lighten of its
helium gas.
5.3.Technology prototyping has not worked out.
5.4.For time from obtaining a patent for the invention in 1993 to the present
time, it was possible to hold the following advertising companies:
- performance in the TV program "Know-how" in
1996;
- my site with advertising to www. rol. ru in 2004
