A propulsion and control system that includes gas generator means which discharges high energy gases into ducting which is connected to at least two thrust units for converting the high energy gases into propulsive thrusts. A separate pressure controller is associated with each thrust unit for restricting the flow of high energy gases to the thrust unit and thereby increasing back pressure in the ducting upstream from the pressure controllers and at the discharge end of the gas generator means. The two pressure controllers are operable independently of each other and the operation of either one increases the back pressure. Contemporaneously, with the increase in back pressure the gas generator means automatically discharges gases at an even higher energy level and as a result the thrust unit downstream from the pressure controller which is not operated delivers greater thrust, while the thrust unit downstream from the operated pressure controller delivers about the same amount of thrust.read more

Trifan powered VSTOL aircraft
TL;DR: In this paper, a vertical or short takeoff and landing aircraft (VSTOL) employing three high bypass turbotip fans disposed in the fuselage and faired into the upper surfaces of the wings, and driven by two gas generators to produce vertical lift and transition to cruise flight, is described.

Lifting and Propulsion System For Aircraft With Vertical Take-Off and Landing
TL;DR: In this article, a lifting and propulsion system for aircraft with vertical take-off and landing that consists of applying to the aircraft certain propeller engines and rotating lifting systems around the transversal shafts and near the centre of gravity, presenting pairs of stabilizing propellers, turbines or fans in counter-rotation activated by electrical motors on the tips of the wings, nose and stabilizers on the tail of the aircraft.
Patent
Pressure-ratio control of gas turbine engine
TL;DR: In this paper, a gas turbine engine is controlled by varying outlet nozzle cross section and/or a mixing of bypass air with exhaust gas at an inlet to the nozzle, where a feedback loop is employed for control of nozzle size and also of mixing valve position.
Patent
Convertible aircraft provided with two tilt fans on either side of the fuselage, and with a non-tilting fan inserted in the fuselage
TL;DR: In this paper, a convertible aircraft with first and second tilt fans disposed on either side of the fuselage a little forward of the center of gravity of the aircraft is described. And the convertible aircraft includes, in remarkable manner, a non-tilting fan that is permanently in a vertical position.
Patent
Vertically landing aircraft
TL;DR: In this paper, an aircraft takes off, lands, or hovers with at least one wing-mounted thrust-producing device attached to one wing and at least two fuselage-mounted devices attached to a fuselage of the aircraft both providing vertical thrust.
