In the deserts and semi-arid areas of the world the day time temperatures can be very high but they can be cold in the night. Cooking food is also a daily requirement but the source of fuel is scarce. This is seen especially in Africa and Haiti.
New propulsion type with thrust augmenter and new VTOL aircraft
The present concept aims to improve the disk loading value with around 15 - 20% and to reduce noise with around 20% over current ducted fan propulsion systems. This increases the hover efficiency and reduces the power requirement.
Every worker in every office today owns a PC on the table always on a network (LAN or internet). But every worker in an office does not have an office phone. This is because it is very expensive to setup office telephones in every office.
However, current designs have drawbacks. Shifting takes time to master, and shift speeds can never match the best automated transmissions.
