ELECTRIC REACTION CONTROL SYSTEM

ELECTRIC REACTION CONTROL SYSTEM

An electric reaction control system (100) that can selectively expel a "burst" or "puff' of air to alter the orientation of the aircraft (10) during flight. An aircraft (10) incorporating ducting (12), an air compressor (14), an electric motor (16), and a plurality of nozzles (18...

Zusammenfassung:An electric reaction control system (100) that can selectively expel a "burst" or "puff' of air to alter the orientation of the aircraft (10) during flight. An aircraft (10) incorporating ducting (12), an air compressor (14), an electric motor (16), and a plurality of nozzles (18, 22, 24) can facilitate in-flight trajectory modifications. When an air burst is needed to provide thrust for the purposes of reaction control, nozzles (18, 22, 24) are selectively opened and closed to provide roll, pitch, and yaw of the aircraft. The ERCS (100) can facilitate an electric aircraft (10) that would be very agile and very light, utilizing electric power, as opposed to jet power.
