Abstract

895,590. Aircraft. COSTRUZIONI AERONAUTICHE GIOVANNI AGUSTA S.p.A. March 17, 1960 [Dec. 23, 1959], No. 9484/60. Class 4. An aircraft for vertical take-off and landing comprises a rotor 3, two wings 4, two or more airscrews 5 whose pitch is reversible and independently variable, four or more interconnected power units 7, 8, a fuselage 1 having a tail unit 2, and means controllable by the pilot whereby power can be transmitted wholly or partially to rotor 3 or airscrews 5 depending upon whether the aircraft is to perform vertical or translatory flight. Turbines 7, located in the upper part of the fuselage, and turbines 8, on the wings 4, are connected to the rotor and airscrews by gearing and shafting, which include spur or bevel wheels 9, 10 and connecting shafts 11, and 7<SP>1</SP> and speed reducing and uncoupling means. Each wing 4 has an end portion 4a, which can be folded downwards to lessen the influence of the wings on the lift of the rotor. Fuel tanks 13, at the outer ends of wing portions 4a act as side floats when the aircraft lands or rests on water. In vertical flight, the rotor torque is balanced by operation of the airscrews, one having reverse pitch relative to the other.
