Fuel-less Gravity Powered Flight |

The
idea that an airplane can fly endlessly carrying heavy loads of passengers
and cargo without burning any fuel, can stop and hover in place weightless
at any time, and can takeoff and land vertically is a radical departure
from accepted thought concerning aviation. This new reality that is
made possible by the invention of Robert Hunt's astounding new hybrid
aircraft is Hunt Aviation’s vision of the future of aviation. Our aircraft
is a fixed wing, ridged skin airplane made of lightweight composite
materials. The new hybrid “gravity-powered aircraft” is formed by merging
the capabilities of the following devices into a single new aircraft
apparatus: (1) an aircraft capable of aerostatic (lighter-than-air)
lift to gain altitude; and, (2) a glider aircraft capable of aerodynamic
lift, having a high glide ratio to accomplish long range gliding; and,
(3) a (patented, new design of Robert D Hunt) wind turbine that is capable
of harnessing the force of wind to generate power as the aircraft glides
downward. This cycle can be repeated indefinitely to allow the craft
to stay aloft virtually forever. |
