Flying wings are flying machines in which the entire body of the flying apparatus is essentially formed by the wings of only two wings. Such aircraft can be used both in the civilian as well as in the military field.

Such a similar aircraft designed as a flying wing is in the DE 3207874 A1 described.

With the DE10 20 14111836 C1 A device has been known which effectively prevents the ingress of bodies, drones, objects, or birds into the aircraft engine by providing a protective device in front of the aircraft fan engine

The function of the fan wheel adopts the mentioned patented protection device; this is further named: Multifunctional Katana dome / M2K. This makes the M2K the main part of the "rebel" engine.

• - Triebwerk-Getriebe, und als nächstes und letztes vor der Turbine mit Verdichter wird ein Elektro-Motor/-Generator montiert (z. B.: Neben Elektro-Motor/-Generator o. Ä.) des „Rebell“-Triebwerks mit Hybrid-Funktion oder rein elektrischem Betrieb.

Next are at this point between the reference numerals 3b and 3c The following units are installed on this engine shaft:

• - Engine gearbox, and next and last before the turbine with compressor, an electric motor / generator is mounted (eg: In addition to electric motor / generator or similar) of the "rebel" engine with hybrid Function or purely electrical operation.

The term "rebel" engine means that with the engine design of the present invention, we are in fact rebelling against the current design of "fan" engines, especially against their enormous manufacturing costs, susceptibility to bird or drone strike, etc.

A fan wheel is no longer available on our hybrid "Rebell" M2K engine.

In its place to be installed first of the screwing of both shafts a gear unit.

Next, on the engine shaft, toward inward, right, d. H. in the direction of engine turbine, in the compressor will find our electric motor / generator to enable the hybrid function of the "rebel" engine.

The main engines are also referred to below as Hybrid M2K "Rebell" engines.

Thus, the "rebel" engine means a complete abandonment of fan engines up to now with fan blades.

Die Rotation kann dabei synchron oder asynchron zur Rotation des Flugzeugtriebwerkes mit der gleichen oder unterschiedlichen Drehzahl und in der gleichen oder entgegengesetzten Drehrichtung erfolgen.

By eliminating the fan wheel, the Hybrid M2K application provides the following benefits for the hybrid M2K "rebel" engine:

• - Function as a wind turbine, where the M2K itself becomes a wind turbine rotor, where the two functions occur alternately by pendulum-type: first wind turbine phase, then kerosene combustion phase, then wind turbine phase, etc. etc.
• - Joint shaft of the engine is separated instead of the current fan-wheel, here is a gear unit installed - known product z. Next, in the engine-turbine direction, an electric motor / generator is mounted by Pratt & Whitney, allowing for pure electric operation of the Hybrid M2K "Rebell" engine.
• - weight is corrected downwards,
• - the enormous fan-wheel or blade-leaves production costs are reduced,
• - kerosene consumption is lowered
• - M2K guard works in rotational motion so that bodies impacting the guard are impacted by centrifugal forces and thrown out. The rotation can be synchronous or asynchronous to the rotation of the aircraft engine at the same or different speed and in the same or opposite direction of rotation.

Further developments of these devices serve for the effective generation and use of electrical energy. Here, the rotatable dome-shaped protective device is connected via a shaft with a shaft of the aircraft engine, and the waves cooperate with a generator and / or an electric motor.

The invention has for its object to provide a flying apparatus, which can be operated both in conventional flight operations and as a whiz starter and allows a rational and effective flight operation.

This task is solved by the features in the patent award 1 , Advantageous embodiments of the invention are contained in the subclaims.

The present invention realizes a completely novel propulsion system for flying apparatus such as flying wings, in which pivotable hybrid boosters are arranged in and / or on the wings, and connect between the mainstream Hybrid M2K "Rebel" engines and the hybrid boost engines. / Branch flaps exists. This novel drive system allows the vertical take-off and / or landing function and is also referred to as hybrid indirect compressor or as a hybrid auxiliary engine, because their function and work is the compressor in the turbine of the hitherto conventional fan engine is the same.

The thrust of the hybrid M2K "rebel" main engines is thus at least partially directed to the hybrid indirect compressors and the hybrid thrusters and drives them. Each of the inventive hybrid M2K "rebel" engines and hybrid auxiliary engines carries the addition hybrid, because for the purpose of electric power generation these engines are each equipped with a generator and / or electric motor to allow purely electric drive.

However, there are differences between these two engines.

The hybrid M2K "rebel" engine becomes pure wind turbine through software program control in certain flight phases M2K of the "rebel" engine, The kerosene combustion process is suspended for a while.

These shutdown phases will follow in pendulum fashion again and again. During the flight. existing kinetic energy of the flying wing is used in addition to the already known protection function of the hybrid M2K "rebel" engine over the entire flight time for electric power generation, the excess capacity is stored in the electric energy storage system.

The second way is to use the pure electric energy from the electric energy storage system to condense the mixture of cold air and exhaust gases so as to create under the thrusters a kind of vertical air pillars supporting the flying apparatus can, d. H. when ascending / starting or landing / landing. Pure electrical operation is also possible thanks to its own generator and / or electric motor unit.

In order to realize a stronger driving power, it is possible to arrange another hybrid M2K "rebel" main engine in the rear of the flying apparatus. The hybrid M2K "Rebel" main engines and / or the hybrid boost engines include electric motor / generator units which serve either to generate electric power or to generate additional driving power. The Hybrid M2K "Rebel" main engines and / or the hybrid boost engines are provided with dome-shaped guards to effectively prevent the ingress of bodies, drones, objects or birds into the aircraft fan engines.

The hybrid boost engines are equipped with synchronous electric motors, which serve to rotate the hybrid boost engines. Due to the synchronous electric motors is a rotation around to possible to 360 °. By twisting the thrust direction of the additional hybrid engines is changed up to the thrust reverser.

This makes it possible to bring the flying apparatus / flying wing in the airspace from the airspeed to the practically 0 km / h for vertical landing in the shortest possible time.

The flying wing can then land vertically similar to helicopters, which means that no landing land and runways are needed anymore

The mainstream Hybrid M2K "Rebel" engines may have adjustable and / or adjustable control nozzles located in the exhaust area of the mainstream hybrid M2K "Rebel" engines. By adjusting the control nozzles, it is possible to make changes in direction of the flying apparatus. The inner surface of the exhaust area is coated with nanoparticles to reduce heat generated.

The control nozzles can support the tail units, in particular the tailplane and the rudder. In certain embodiments, it is even possible to replace the tail units by the control nozzles.

Black-box data storage devices may be located at the outer ends of the wings.

All surfaces of the flying apparatus can have +/- ¼ ball dents or +/- ¼ ball bends, which serve to reduce air resistance.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to embodiments shown at least partially in the figures.
