Supersonic Jet Curtains for Control of Moments on Tailless Aircraft
The invention is a method to improve the design of tailless aircraft, such as the blended wing body design. The improvement consists of using high speed jets to create a supersonic jet curtain to provide flight directional controls. The jets are installed in the wings and are able to control the pitch, yaw, and roll of a tailless aircraft.

The Use of Active Flow Control to Increase the Acceleration of Airplanes on Takeoff and Reduce the Dependence on Rotation
The technology is the utilization of active flow control (AFC) technology in the leading edge to improve the process of airplane takeoff. It will allow for airplanes to perform a take off without rotating. The AFC technology would allow for the airplane to take off with minimal rotation. The small rotation allows the ability to use smaller landing gear...
