BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [3292] Conventional rotary wing aircraft are driven by combustion engines and are limited in application by rendering the aerial vehicles electric and digital with zero emission. Consisting rotary wing aircrafts ar helicopters and utility aerial vehicles, privet transport chopper, is a type of rotorcraft in which lift and thrust are supplied by propeller rotors. This allows the helicopter to take off and land vertically, to hover, and to fly forward, backward, and laterally. These attributes allow helicopters to be used in congested or isolated areas where fixed-wing aircraft and many forms of VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) aircraft cannot perform. The Electric aircraft is navigated by the main rotor and tail rotor and turbine engines and boosters comprising electric generators for power supply.

Powstańców Warszawy 8, 35-959 Rzeszow **Aerodynamics Department, Institute of Aviation, Al. Krakowska 110/114, 02-256 Warsaw [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], Abstract The article presents an aerodynamic concept of UAV in the gyrodyne configuration, as a more efficient one than the currently used UAV airframe configuration applied for monitoring tasks of pow- er lines and railway infrastructure. A sample task which is realised by conceptual gyrodyne based on monitoring aerial power lines was characterised and described . The assumed idea of UAV was shown in comparison to the currently used aircraft configuration presented in the introduction. Referring to momentum theory, hover efficiency of the multicopter and the helicopter was evaluated. In relation to the helicopter, an initial draft of the airframe conception accompanied by a description of advan- tages of the gyrodyne configuration was exposed. Problems related to the gyrodyne configuration were emphasised in the summary. Keywords: aerodynamic concept, UAV, VTOL, gyrodyne, airframe configuration 1. INTRODUCTION In recent years a dynamic growth of the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) usage in civil and mili- tary missions can be observed . Economic aspects are the main reasons of that increase, i.e. the purchas- ing cost of the UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) varies from 40% up to 80% of the manned system cost.

  • Promising the Sky: Pork Barrel Politics and the F-35 Combat Aircraft
    INTERNATIONAL POLICY CIP REPORT PROMISING THE SKY: PORK BARREL POLITICS AND THE F-35 COMBAT AIRCRAFT By William D. Hartung January 2014 Executive Summary Lockheed Martin claims that the development and construction of the F-35 combat aircraft sustains 125,000 jobs in 46 states. The company describes the F-35 as “the single largest job creator in the Department of De- fense program.” Lockheed Martin’s numbers have been routinely reported in the media, and have become a mainstay of the debate over the fate of the F-35 program. There’s just one problem with Lockheed Martin’s assertions about F-35 job creation. They are greatly exagger- ated, as documented in this report: •Lockheed Martin’s claim of 125,000 F-35-related jobs is roughly double the likely number of jobs sus- tained by the program. The real figure, based on standard estimating procedures used in other studies in the field, should be on the order of 50,000 to 60,000 jobs. •Similarly, the company’s claim that there is significant work being done on the F-35 in 46 states does not hold up to scrutiny. Even by Lockheed Martin’s own estimates, just two states – Texas and California – ac- count for over half of the jobs generated by the F-35. The top five states, which include Florida, Connecticut and New Hampshire – account for 70% of the jobs (see appendix Table 2 for further details). •Eleven states have fewer than a dozen F-35-related jobs, a figure so low that it is a serious stretch to count them among the 46 states doing significant work on the program.
