THE IDEA OF THE RESEARCH

This study focuses on the topic of rescuing aeroplanes while landing in Airports in the occurrence of technical problems or environmental factors such as violent winds or snow or frost due to a significant drop in temperature which could reach minus 40 degrees or more, which makes safe landing impossible.

For the rescuing of the plane, a massive device should be' designed to receive the plane in the event that it cannot safely land in the airport because of the storms or difficult weather condition. The device is fifty meters high and its width is twenty meters equipped with two towers, situated' on the first third part in terms of height. The height of both towers is twenty meters from the surface of the device. The diameter of each tower from its base that is fixed on top of the device surface is seven meters and is of circular shape.

On the top, its diameter is one meter and a half. The height and diameter of both towers are merged. The device is mobile, it is resting on twelve groups of very strong tires and equipped with a strong directive device in order to facilitate its task when receiving planes on its surface. Each group of tires is composed of solid and strong eight tires of excellent quality. 2.

The device can take up to 250 tons in addition to its original weight with the fittings and supplies. On the edges of the surface of the device, there are water tanks for firefighting besides the fire fighting equipments in the airport. The firefighting equipments are located on top of the two towers to keep the plane under control from above while on top of the device's surface after landing. This is just a precautionary measure to secure the safety of the device.

The speed of the device should be 200 kilometers per hour in order to best receive the plane safely away from any risks.

In other words, the procedure to receive the plane should match the state of the device's movement, the speed of the device should correspond to the speed of the plane while landing on the surface of the device taking into account that the landing of the plane on the surface of the device will be effective, and it is as follows: The pilot heads towards the towers and gets in between them till the plane wings reach both towers, that is to say that the position of the plane should be between the towers and its wings reach the towers, this is the correct position.

Prior to this position, the jet engine should be completely closed shortly before since it carries very strong heat. The device is equipped with a big number of rubber cushions compressed with air supplied with several valves to empty the air from these rubber cushions following the direct landing of the plane, in order to ensure a safe landing. g

The air pressure inside these rubber cushions will not be very high since high pressure is transformed into a solid body and this is what I don't want. I want a rubber body compressed with air within an average rate. During the test and soon after the landing of the plane over the surface of the device, the operation of emptying the air from the rubber cushions via the necessary valves should be conducted. The rubber cushions are covered with non-combustible substances which protect the device from fire. The rubber cushions are composed of tanks made of rubber compressed with air. The tank is three meters long, as well as its width and altitude. Over the surface of the device and on all the three layers, there are tissue substances on each layer to protect the rubber tanks from fire.. The height of the rubber layers over the surface of the device is nire meters and there are all fire fighters. The towers raise dbove the rubber cushions by eleven meters in addition to the nine meters high of the rubber cushions, this is the height of the towers above the surface of the device.

The height of the towers over the surface of the rubber cushions help the pilot while landing on top of the rubber body over the surface of the device. The area between the towers and along the device should be painted with strong phosphor colour to help the pilot while landing especially at night. Both towers have to be covered with rubber cushions compressed moderately with air in order to protect the mineral body of the tower from the mineral body of the plane.

A tissue fire fighter body along with a number of tissue belts are spreading over the last rubber body of the device in order to carry the plane from above the device and place it on the ground.

Claims

GLIMPSE

Claim no. GB: 08000606 1-The function of the device is to receive the planes on the runway of the airport which could not land safely due to a mechanical failure in the plane or due to winds, snow or frost.

2-The length and width of the device is of good size in order to properly envelop the plane and the two towers on both sides of the device enable the pilot to see the device from a sufficient distance. The pilot would then bring in his plane between the two towers too close so that both wings of the plane are close to the towers; this is the proper position of the plane which should be above the device.

3-There is a small circular room on top of the two towers in order to operate the device from above.

The device conductor would then be in control in receiving the plane. There will be no veil or obstacle between the device conductor and the plane's pilot. Full cooperation between the device conductor and the plane's pilot shall take place. The fire fighters are located in the same room to achieve full control over the plane from above.

4-The speed of the device should correspond to the speed of the plane when the plane lands on the surface of the device. This is a very crucial matter.

Only the jet engines have the capacity to do that

S

because they are fully capable in achieving an immediate and speedy landing.

5-There are a number of rubber cushions compressed with air on top of the device and there is a valve on top of each cushion to regulate the pressure. This valve quickly empties the air from inside the cushion if there is an overweight on top of the cushion.

Consequently, the shock is alleviated, i.e. the plane's fall above the surface of the device. The plane would firmly settle without any swinging at all.

6-The cushions are of square shape of three meters long, as well as its width and altitude, and all are equipped with valves to empty the air. Each cushion has a specific valve to empty the air. The cushions are spread on top of the device and are of three layers. There should be empty spaces between the cushions of no less than fifty centimetres from all sides. The height of the rubber cushions is nine meters.

7-There are non-combustible tissue materials and other chemical substances spread over the rubber cushions to fight the fire. The towers are covered with rubber cushions which are covered with tissue materials to protect them from catching fire on the top, below and all sides.

8-Lights should be spread on the external frame of the device, the front part, rear and sides provided that tIe distance between one light and another is two meters only to illuminate the whole external body of the device. These lights have to be vertical and in strong phosphor colour and not diffused. The device's colour should also be totally in phosphor colour.

9-The device engines should be jet engines because they possesses a speedy and immediate pushing power, and we are in need for this very quick pushing force. Hence, we need two engines to push to front, and two engines to push to rear. The speed of the device should not be less than 200km an hour.

10-The directive device is very strong; it involves 12 JK Haidar Walik of big and strong size. This is necessary for the movement of and speed of the device to sustain the speed and change the direction.

11-The entire body of the device is made of iron of excellent quality. The thickness of the hull, sides and width is of 14 millimetres. As for the thickness of the device's surface, sides and width above the hull is 8 cm, as well as the hull of the towers.

12-The device rests on twelve groups of good quality tires, each group is composed of eight strong tires in order to accommodate the load of 250 tons.

13-On the surface of the device and the external surrounding, there is a number of huge water fire fighting tanks, as well as engines and strong water fire fighting pumps.

14-There are specific belts to fix the rubber cushions above the surface of the device with all its horizontal and vertical directions.

15-The jet device in the plane should be off prior to the approaching of the plane to the device at a small distance, hence the pushing power in the plane would cease and the movement would be streamlined, calm and stable so that the device conductor fully achieves a similar speed between the device and the plane, thereupon, the process of receiving the plane would occur safely and properly.
