Abstract

1,080,375. V.T.O.L. aircraft. BRITISH AIRCRAFT CORPORATION (OPERATING) Ltd. Oct. 28, 1965 [Aug. 28, 1964], No. 35396/64. Headings B7G and B7W. A delta-wing aircraft has a fuselage of elliptical cross-section with its major axis extending transversely, the junction between each wing root and the fuselage being arranged to accommodate a forward propulsion jet engine 22. On each side of the fuselage the wing 12 carries a pad or nacelle 28 housing a plurality of jet lift engines 26 mounted in pairs on transverse pivots whereby they may be swung vertically during take-off and landing and then inclined to assist forward propulsion or braking and subsequently stowed horizontally in inoperative positions within the nacelles. The engines may be controlled independently to provide control in roll, yaw and pitch. The wing/fuselage structure comprises two transverse spars 30, 32 which span the engine nacelles 28 and are formed with openings for the fuselage and the engines 22 and other, intermediate structural members 34, 36, all connected by intermediate longitudinal members 38, 40. The fuselage has rear loading doors.
