AVIO-CAR-PTFV

VEHICULE VOLANT DE TRANSPORT INDIVIDUEL "AVIOCAR"

English Abstract

Aviocar or PTFV is a Personal Transport Flying Vehicle that is
capable of driving on the road like any other sport utility vehicle
and fly for a sit distance between two major points like any other
small executive jet without using any airport facilities. Aviocar is
designed to be driven in a city powered by light weight electrical
hybrid (mix) engine and in the air powered by two small size jet
engines. The aviocar is a "transformer" vehicle in SUV shaped
body with added features such as retractable wings, fin, stabilizers
and retractable jet engines in such designed aerodynamically to be
capable of flying for medium range distance between cities. It
must be no more than 8" feet wide and 30" feet long over all to be
practical. The frame is made of very light weight material, but
strong enough to withstand side and frontal impact, hard landing
and the weight of the load.
The Aviocar meets all of the above criteria by using an enhanced
normal car shaped body designed aerodynamically to maximize the
lift ability of said vehicle. The Aviocar utilizes a novel
aerodynamic design that can function at a high angle of attack to
optimize low speed lift while still presenting minimal resistance to
airflow at high speeds. Moreover, the design features allow it to
function in the roadway as a car and in the air as a craft.

Description

CA 02572448 2006-12-28

Subject-matter of the invention: It's a personal transport vehicle that is
capable of flying
between to major point like; Ottawa - Toronto and can stop in between if the
facilities are
available.

Specification:
Aviocar or PTFV is a Personal Transport Flying Vehicle that is capable of
driving on the road
like any other sport utility vehicle and fly for a sit distance between two
major points like any
other small executive jet without using any airport facilities.

Aviocar-PTFV is designed as road able car or SUV that has normal air
resistance which keeps it
on the ground up to the speed limit in which it has been designed to go and
the maximum wind to
withstand. Over all aerodynamic shape it's beneficiary for Aviocar on the road
and in the air.
Aviocar is designed to be driven in a city powered by light weight electrical
hybrid (mix) engine
and on the air powered by two small size jet engines.

The frame is made of very light weight material, but strong enough to
withstand side and frontal
impact, hard landing and the weight of the load.

Which is made of Carbon fiber with ultra-lightweight, high-tech design and by
placing the
engine behind the cockpit to achieve a weight distribution that makes the car
extremely
aerodynamic in the air and stable on the road?

RANG AND USE OF AVIOCAR:

The maximum rang for Aviocar in the air is about 500 miles at cruising speed
between (180 to
315 miles/hr) at an altitude of (1500 to 5000 feet). During flight this
vehicle is designed to be
flown by pr-programmed computer that will decide the altitude base on
destination choosing...
exp: (Ottawa to Toronto it will go up to 5000 feet in a speed of 180 to 315
miles/hr).
The computer program will give options on a touch-on screen to chose your
destination from pr-
set destination that has been calculated from the runway you are standing on,
by using GPS built
in the car and two homing devices that is built in both end of the runway or
manually by trained
pilot, to be flown between two major points with option to stop in between ...
Exp: (from Ottawa
to Toronto you will have an option to stop in two major point if chosen it
before take-off).
The flight will be in controlled airspace in straight line with minimal
maneuver, parallel to major
highway, like taking a trip from one major city to another major city but
instead of driving on the
highway you will be flying over the highway.
Landing will be in a small runway between (900 to 1500 feet) built parallel to
the highway at the
edge of the city.
After landing it will take the vehicle few minutes to go back to a normal car
configuration
allowing it to be driven on the highway and on a city street with the traffic.
Aviocar will not require to use any airport facilities or to contact any air
traffic controller, unless
the highway passes by an airport and the vehicle is in an emergency stress.
The vehicle will be

equipped with transponders making it visible to the radar and air Data
Computers, flight
Directors, and autopilot which will be controlling each leg of the trip.

Aviocar-PTFV usefulness comes in so many ways. A trip between two major cities
that will
normally take fife hours will be cut to a quarter of the time, without the
need to go through
airports and lost of bags and time.
Aviocar will be useful to executives who would like to be in two places in
short times, and since
Aviocar uses triangle system like for example if you are leaving Ottawa on the
touch-on screen
you will have the option to go to Toronto or Montreal within Canada. Another
example; the east
cost of the U.S from Main to Virginia, you will have the option of choosing in
any set of three
Exp: (Boston, Newark and Baltimore)

WINGS
RETRACTABLE WINGS:

The wings will be retractable in two positions:

1) 1/4 inch of the end portion of the wing wil I retract inside the main body
of the wing. This makes
the wing shorter than during flight.
2) The length of the wing will be the same length between the front and back
wheel. That design
features allow the wing to be retracted inside the body of the Aviocar. This
keeps the wings
stored in safe area away from the outside aliment during driving.

RETRACTABLE STABILIZER AND FIN:

The back of the Aviocar is egg shaped for aerodynamic design presenting
minimal resistance
during flight and storage facilities for the fin and the stabilizer during
driving. Retracting the
stabilizer and the fin will be in two steps:

1) the stabilizer will come downward in down right position to the fin and
lineup with the rudder.
2) Than the fin attached with the stabilizer elevator and rudder will retract
inward to the back of
the Aviocar, this mechanism puts the whole tail of the aviocar underneath the
back of the two
passenger seats.

Boundaries of patent: Retractable wings, retractable stabilizer and fin,
retractable engines and
the martial the body is composed of and over all aerodynamic shape.
