DESCRIPTION
This novel design consists
on a twin-engine type aircraft with high wing, and with the landing gear and
turboprop forming an assembly under each wing, and twin horizontal
stabilizers. This aircraft is able to carry out multipurpose functions at
very low cost, because the only part that it is specialized is the central
part of the fuselage that on the other hand is the less expensive part of
the aircraft, to being purely structural, to be
exempt of sophisticated devices and to be constituted as a module easily
detachable of the aircraft. Therefore, the purpose of this aircraft varies
in function of the container type that incorporates in each flight. On one
hand it doesn't increase significantly the weight, and on the other hand not
diminishes the airplane security. Another achievement is that the container
load and unload operations can carry out in an autonomous way by the
aircraft, without external support. Therefore, the introduction of this
technology can increase the flexibility of
the current aircrafts, and to diminish considerably its operation costs.
Compared with a conventional airplane of similar characteristics, the only
additional weight comes given by the rails that suppose two structural
reinforcements of the fuselage.
The design show in the next 2D figures. It is characterized to
have divided their fuselage in three modules: the previous part or head (1),
the central part or container (2) and the later part or tail (3). These
three parts loll of the rest of the aircraft, supported on two parallel
rails (4). These rails crosses the superior part of the airship lengthwise
from the head (1) until the tail (3). inside the raíles are installed the
cables as well as the hydraulic pipes.
