Electrically Accelerating Tiny Shredded Debris (EATS Debris)

Debris in orbit is a growing problem. Moving at roughly Mach 25, even a loose screw can inflict catastrophic damage if it collides with a small satellite, creating more debris that can impact other spacecraft. Efforts to deal with this have treated debris as trash,

Floating Airplane Runway For Optimum Take Off And Landing

The Idea proposed is to construct a Floating Runway in a circular lake.

By having the runway floating, it can be turned in such a way that it is possible to create optimum landing and take off conditions under various types of weather. As the lake would never exceed a total diameter of 1.5 kilometer to 2 kilometers ,

Improved Rotorcraft

This invention provides vertical lift flight at a much lower power requirement than existing rotorcraft. Existing rotorcraft generate lift by accelerating airflow through the rotor disk. The change in air speed imparts a lifting force on the aircraft through conservation of momentum.

In this device the air flow changes direction, not speed.

Landing Gear With Soft Touch

Whenever a plane touches the ground, rubber is pulverized from the tires until they adhere to the ground.

Small electric motors may be used to rotate the wheels such that their peripheral speed matches the plane speed at landing to avoid them sliding at initial touch. This avoids the tires wear and extends their number of landings.
