The box-shaped aerial vehicle

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Sometimes, when we are thinking about radical aircraft designs, we might think the box-shaped aircraft or aerial vehicle. When we are thinking about some fundamental aircraft designs, the idea of the flying box would look like something, what might first bring in the mind the words "no way, it can never work". Unless we are thinking the systems, where the vertical thrust would create by using the jet engines, and the horizontal movements would be made by using engines, what are thrusting the craft in the vertical direction. That motor system would use also something like blowers, what would make it noiseless and those blowers would allow that the flying box would fly in any direction, and the system will be very simple.

There could be tubes through the device, and in both heads of those tubes would be blowers. Also in those tubes would be installed the magnetic accelerators, which allows this flying box fly also out of the atmosphere. And if the system uses nuclear power, would also interplanetary flight be possible. Because the tubes are in every direction of the box, it would change the direction of the flying very fast. This kind of flying vehicles could be also quadcopters, what is flying in the atmosphere by using propellers, and when the device wanted to fly high altitude or out of atmosphere the jet, or rocket motors of the vehicle would be started.

This kind of system can, of course, be the slow-motion vehicle, and the power of the vertical motors can be only the little big greater than the weight of the vehicle. This kind of rocket motor would need only the ventilation system, that adjusts the rising speed, and when the flying box is high enough, the speed of the vehicle can be increased, because the gas is thin, and the friction is lower.

That allows this device to fly faster. But there is a possibility to fly with high speed by using this kind of aerial vehicle. The thing what is needed is the mast or pike on the direction, where the device is moving. By this pike would be pumped the air ahead of the flying box, and if it would use rocket or some other exotic motor solution like ion motors of some other electromagnetic drives, it would fly with high speed. The pike would drive air away from the body of the flying box, and it would be fly with very high speed.
