DE4131569A1 - Variable modular construction aircraft - has coded subsections mass produced and assembled on site into required model - Google Patents

Abstract

The variety of subsections provides a variety of possible aircraft types. The subsections are coded for simple assembly and are shipped to the assembly point from mass production lines. Damaged sections are easily replaced. Some of the subsections can be made in low labour areas. The separate fuselage- and control surface sections are made in various layouts to fit the modular design. USE/ADVANTAGE - Supply infrastructure for third world, skilled assemblers not required. Low cost aircraft series, simple to assemble.

Description

I hereby apply for the grant of a patent and, if applicable, utility model for a "modular aircraft", characterized in that its individual parts are prefabricated and numbered as precisely precalculated te and series-producible module parts and the aircraft in by simple and rather effortlessly assembling the module parts a far more rational, more advantageous and less expensive way of making it ready to fly compared to the conventional manufacturing processes (cf. for illustration the enclosed patent drawing with the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and the numbers 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 marked module parts), characterized in that in comparison to the conventionally manufactured aircraft, the production process for module aircraft is demonstrably much more efficient and inexpensive, characterized in that the sophisticated few components or module parts rationally in series in large quantities g manufactured and can be installed in different types of aircraft and so compared to the conventional aircraft far larger quantities of modular aircraft can be completed in a significantly shorter time and much cheaper ready to fly, characterized in that compared to the conventionally manufactured aircraft - thanks to the easily and quickly interchangeable module parts - repairs can be carried out much more quickly and cheaply and in many cases the repair time can be shortened from 3 to 6 months to 2 to 3 days, characterized in that the compact module parts in a light white se can be transported by train, ship, plane, truck, etc. and thus, compared to the conventionally manufactured aircraft, the transport of the modular aircraft to all countries is much more advantageous, since module aircraft, especially ordered module aircraft in every country shipped from there en module parts can be completed in a short time by assembling the module parts according to a supplied assembly plan at any desired location without great effort, characterized in that compared to the conventionally manufactured aircraft with the modular aircraft a better stability or greater resistance achieved by the fact that the individual module parts can be more easily tested for their stability at many points and with repairs that are carried out by replacing the module parts, there is hardly any wear, which at the same time is associated with a longer service life of the modular aircraft, characterized in that in comparison to the conventionally manufactured aircraft the modular aircraft with the advantages shown much cheaper not only as a two-seat touring aircraft and as a very excellent two-seat training aircraft for flight training (beginners ger and advanced) as well as a two-seater aircraft for aerobatics or flight acrobatics, but also by expanding the module parts as an aircraft for the transport of a larger number of people and freight goods according to the modular construction system rationally and economically produced and sold at a much cheaper or lower price can be.

Claims (4)

1. The claim to a patent and utility model, which I hereby raise, extends accordingly to a "module aircraft", characterized in that its individual parts are prefabricated and numbered as precisely calculated, ge tested and mass-producible module parts and then the module -Airplane is assembled ready by assembling these module parts according to a previously prepared assembly plan flight, as desired as a plane or as a training aircraft for the training and further education of flight students (beginners and advanced) or professional pilots or as a plane for aerobatic flights ( Aerial acrobatics) or as an aircraft for the transport of a large number of passengers and freight or as an aircraft that can be used for other purposes, the production of which is technically possible according to the modular construction system. 2. Characterized in that compared to the conventionally produced Aircraft the serial production of modular parts into one more economical and much cheaper Manufacturing process leads as well as the manufacture of a far larger amount of modular aircraft in the same pro production period and the use of the same module parts for allows different types of aircraft. 3. Characterized in that compared to the conventional herge carried out extensive repairs on aircraft fairly effortless replacement of module parts in much shorter times Time to be carried out more efficiently, faster and far cheaper can. 4. Characterized in that compared to that in a conventional manner manufactured aircraft the transport of modular aircraft thereby It is more advantageous that the compact module parts by train, Ship, plane, truck, etc. to any country you want Can be spent in place and then in place the module plane by simple composition of the way there module parts according to the supplied assembly plan very easily ready to fly ready.
