Description

Editorial Note for 2009100459 The description comprises 5 pages AUSTRALIA Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFCATION INNOVATION PATENT Category 5 Mechanical (applied Physics/Electronics) IMPROVED OPERATING SYSTEM FOR VECTERED THRUST VEHICLES VTOS AN: 2009100459 The following statement is a full description of this invention including the best method of performing it know to me Darren George Webster: 1 Improved Thrust Vector Control To date thrust in various craft is mostly fixed. Vertical Take Off and Landing VTOL bodies as the Harrier Jump jet (Fig 62,web page 2) point some of the thrust downward for lift but cannot turn left or right without complex throttle control and a jet reaction control system (Fig 66). High altitude flight in low density air reduces the wing lift and pitch control also needs a jet reaction control system (Fig 66). Skycars as the Moller Skycar (Fig 68, web page 1) rotate engine pods forward back up down but also need vanes ( Moller Skycar Fig 67, Urbunareo Fig 60, web page 11 ) for left and right. NASA's thrust vector control system TVC (Fig 1, web page8) is fixed at the rear of the unit therefore requires the whole unit to rotate up down forward back which make it not practical for passenger vehicles or "upright" platforms. Mounting both the nozzle and actuators at 90 degrees with Two or more thrusters give greater control of the unit Vectored Thrust Operating System VTOS (Fig 8). Furthermore greater control reduces the complex mathematical plotting of the vehicle. Should the platform vehicle need to be rotated for say re-entry (Fig 33) this is still possible with independent VTOS or Multi-Vectored Thrust Operating System MVTOS (Fig 25). Fly by wire allows each thruster to be inverted/reversed for precise body positioning and "aerobatic maneuvers". In a gravity medium a simple Gyro Stabilizer (Fig 20) can be used mounted with a single or double micro actuator (Fig 12) and it too can be Vectored VGS to automatically induce the platforms rotation, pitch or tilt again without any need for complex math's. Muliti-combination joysticks (Fig 39) can give unlimited control and the latest defense helmets (Fig 40 43) offer hands free control or unmanned Vehicles (Fig 46, web page 7,14) . The vectored thrust operating system can be mass produced using readily available parts (Fig 13,14,15) or Able to Fly A2F Skycar (Fig 47) and A2fLT (Fig 16). Electric powered VTOL craft (Fig 56, web page 9) EVTOL.

6 ABLE TO FLY (A2F) SKYCAR VECTORED THRUST OPERATING SYSTEM A2F-VT-OS Steering and operating system for vectored thrust vehicles Able 2 Fly Lift Truck A2FLT and Able 2 Fly Double Slew A2FDS APPLICATIONS Able 2 Fly takes all the latest technology to make a very simple operating system that can OPERATE in any medium of air, water or vacuum (outer space) The skycar is a great example that can take off and land as a helicopter, fly as fast as a jet, be as easy to operate as a car, and fully computer programmable. This system deletes the vanes in ducted fans and the jet reaction control system as stated in the "MOLLER SKYCAR" or "HARRIER JUMPJET" take off and landings and high altitude flying. Rotating the engine thrust in both the vertical and horizontal which gives three dimensional control and with smaller engines being fully rotated without the loss of lift thrust through redirection i.e. 1. vanes or 2. Loss of thrust in reducing engine throttle to induce yaw by differential Again this concept works in water for submarines or a vacuum out space which use a fixed propulsion system at the rear of the unit.
