a few examples of aircraft design piracy - just my opinion . . . . of soviet era planes . . . I am not taking any sides with this video, I personally like russian hardware. The only reason for doing this video to point out some of the unnatural similarities found in aircraft designs . . . . I am sure there are more design copies out there . . . please comment if you know any other . . . . the music is from tekken 3 add &fmt=18 at the end of the url to listen in stereo

Inventor: Kenneth M. Allison Presidents of Kmax CONSULTING First Look at the New High Tech Airplane Design Improved Airport system for safety and security A new and improved airport system is disclosed herein. Redesigned aircraft dock in a terminal, instead of pulling up to loading bridge and the nose section of the aircraft tilts upwards or to the side for allowing passengers to be removed from the aircraft for deplaning. Cargo and baggage can be loaded using modules that utilize skids, automation, and/or robotics for easy loading and balancing of weight. The airport system will minimize passenger traffic on the airport grounds. The airport system or network includes a secure remote airport facility for servicing one or more airports. The remote airport facility includes a remote tower having a security checkpoint for entering passengers into the secure airport system and then transporting the passengers to the secure airport terminal. Common use aircraft allow a variety of airlines to accommodate passengers on a single flight and reduce fuel consumption and time. US Pat. No. 7367528 Read more: "www.faqs.org

Watch Turbofan Killer Bee: Rutan ARES Turbofan Killer Bee: Rutan ARES "Mudfighter" for US Army Close Air Support
May 20, 2012
Legendary aircraft designer Burt Rutan reveals the secrets of his Model 151 ARES turbofan "Mudfighter" developed for US Army Close Air Support (CAS) that should be ground-mobile in its own BATTLEBOX towed by a high-technology M113 Gavin light tank to provide maneuver air support (MAS) now lacking with the centralized, pampered USAF air base & bloated fighter-bombers-need-runways mentality. www.combatreform.org Killer Bee Clean-Sheet Designs www.combatreform.org ARES details www.combatreform.org In 1981, the US Army requested a design study for a Low Cost Battlefield Attack Aircraft (LCBAA). Scaled Composites created the ARES testbed aircraft which used a single Pratt and Whitney Canada JT15D-5 turbofan engine (same as in the Beechjet / T-1A Jayhawk trainer), and a GAU-12/U 25mm Gatling gun. www.scaled.com The ARES Mudfighter is cleverly designed so its 25mm GAU-12U 25mm autocannon is on one side of the aircraft fuselage while the turbofan engine intake is on the other--this also puts the nose of the plane forward to prevent birds from going into the engine! Burt Rutan is a genius! The ARES can also carry 2.75" Hydra 70mm rocket pods, small unguided and guided bombs and guided missiles on 4 underwing hardpoints--this could be air-to-air missiles like AIM-9 Sidewinders and conceivable beyond-visual range (BVR) AMRAM AIM-120s to sweep the low-level skies of enemy aircraft for a new US Army Air Corps owned and operated by ground maneuver elements using the FINAB ground ...

Watch UW Aeronautics & Astronautics: 2011 Aircraft Design UAV -- Flight Test #1 Video UW Aeronautics & Astronautics: 2011 Aircraft Design UAV -- Flight Test #1
Feb 14, 2012
The 2011 UAV, the N+3 Strut-braced Single-aisle Aircraft (NSSA), took its first test flight Sept. 5, 2011 piloted by Chuck Bower. It was a fantastic success, having performed a taxi test first, and using up a minimal amount of battery charge the team went ahead to do a short flight before swapping batteries. After a few laps around the field, the UAV made a successful landing. Data was collected, batteries were swapped and a second flight was made, shown in the other video. UW A&A Aircraft Design is taught by Professor Eli Livne, assisted by Chet Nelson (among others). The test took place at the Naval Outlying Field - Coupeville. The challenge this year was to design a N+3 high aspect ratio strut braced airliner concept, to provide efficient transportation for our future.

A Kickstarter campaign has been launched to continue the full scale prototype construction. www.kickstarter.com This video is an introduction to the Synergy Aircraft project from April 2012. Synergy is a very advanced aircraft design that uses six important principles of drag reduction, including powered drag reduction. This video shows the work of John McGinnis and his family, volunteers, partners, and supporters to build the first full scale prototype of his novel 'double box tail' configuration. Synergy seats at least five people and is intended to become a kit aircraft using molded construction.
