IFR Training Aid

The IFR student training aid will provide an instrument flying training aid for the instruction of student pilots.

When in use it obscures the view outside of the cockpit while allowing the student to still see the interior and all of the aircraft flight instruments and controls. It is quickly and easily removeable thus restoring full view.

Kinetic Energy Recovery Wing & Body Design

Reduction of drag and boosting of lift to drag ratio is of paramount importance to maximize flight efficiency. Body shape has a major role in producing drag. In order to reduce drag and increase lift to drag ratio I have successfully developed a new concept after spending several years to research. The concept is described below.

LIFT VECTORING: Using THRUST as LIFT Generator and FLIGHT CONTROL without Any Moving Surfaces

WHAT IS IT?

LIFT-VECTORING is a comprehensive system that utilizes thrust, to move an aircraft, to create lift, and act as a complete flight control system without moving surfaces.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

The LIFT-VECTORING system utilizes a portion of the thrust generated by the propulsion system of an aircraft, applied directly to the aerodynamic surfaces,

Lightweight Modular Defensive Wall

The lightweight modular defensive wall (LMDW) is a mechanism for the protection of personnel, buildings and equipment at designated locations.

A defensive wall concept has been schemed that has a thickness of 400mm. it is modular (hence easily repairable) and it is constructed in a mixture of engineering composite materials (Kevlar re-inforced plastic, GRP and CFRP).
