Patent

CA 2170282

Several innovative systems for an aircraft, and aircraft incorporating them, are disclosed. Features include inboard-mounted engine(s) (24, 25) with a belt drive system (84, 99) for turning wing-situated propellers (8, 9); compound landing gear integrating ski (29, 114), pontoon and wheel (18, 19, 21) subcomponents; pivotal mounting armatures (6, 7) for landing gear and/or propellers which provide a plurality of possible landing gear and/or propeller configurations; and a compound wing structure (14, 15) featuring extendable wing panels (4, 5) that permit the wing span of the aircraft to be nearly doubled while in flight. Aircraft incorporating such features will enjoy several safety advantages over conventional multi-engine aircraft and will be capable of modifications during flight which permit landings on any of snow, hard surfaces (runways) and water.

Systèmes innovateurs pour un avion et avion comportant lesdits systèmes. Leurs caractéristiques sont un ou plusieurs moteurs (24, 25) montés à bord et associés à un système d'entraînement par courroie (84, 99) destiné à faire tourner des hélices (8, 9) situées sur les ailes, un ensemble train d'atterrissage comprenant des skis (29, 114), des flotteurs et des roues (18, 19, 21), des armatures de montage pivotantes (6, 7) pour le train d'atterrissage et/ou les hélices qui fournissent une pluralité de configurations possibles de train d'atterrissage et/ou d'hélices, et un ensemble ailes composées (14, 15) doté de panneaux étirables (4, 5) qui permettent presque de doubler l'envergure de l'aéronef pendant le vol. L'avion doté des éléments susmentionnés dispose de plusieurs avantages en matière de sécurité par rapport aux avions multimoteur classiques et peut être modifié en vol, ce qui permet l'atterrissage sur la neige, sur des surfaces dures (pistes) ou sur l'eau.
