2126977 9313979 PCTABS00024 A hybrid aircraft with a large non-rotating balloon chamber (1) containing a lighter-than-air gas which provides a large static lifting force having a magnitude substantially greater than the weight of the aircraft. It comprises a support structure (20) which is substantially longer in length than in width and is encased within the balloon chamber (1). The support structure system has two ends (22) which protrude from the balloon chamber at opposite sides along the center line of the balloon chamber. A rotatable rotor frame (15) is suspended to the ends of the support structure about the non-rotating balloon chamber. The aircraft has a plurality of blade airfoils (4) connected to the rotor frame and oriented radially relative to the balloon chamber. The angle of attack of each blade can be varied. A thrust means is mounted at or near the outboard end of the blade airfoils. A wing airfoil perpendicularly connected to the end of each blade airfoil at the same end as the thrust means. The angle of attack of each wing airfoil can be varied. The aircraft also has a cab, a load line, and an anti-torque device as required.
