AERONAVE

O PRESENTE INVENTO FOI DESENVOLVIDO NO ÂMBITO DA ENGENHARIA MECÂNICA E CONSISTE NUM NOVO TIPO DE AERONAVE PARA TRANSPORTE DE CARGAS DE MUITO ELEVADA MASSA COM RESTRIÇÕES DIMENSIONAIS POUCO SIGNIFICATIVAS. A AERONAVE UTILIZA VÁRIOS CORPOS INSUFLADOS COM GÁS MAIS LEVE QUE O AR, QUE AO SEREM POSTOS EM ROTAÇÃO GERAM O EFEITO MAGNUS, CRIANDO UMA SUSTENTAÇÃO DE TAL MAGNITUDE GUE DOTA A AERONAVE COM UMA CAPACIDADE DE TRANSPORTE CONSIDERÁVEL. The present invention pertains to aeronautical engineering and consists of an airborne platform for power generation through wind energy harnessing that can be built to large sizes without requiring a rigid structure of comparable dimensions and which uses both buoyancy and the aerodynamic Magnus effect for lift. The aerodynamic lift is generated in lifting bodies (1), which also contain buoyant gas. The lifting bodies (1) are stacked in a column, at the bottom of which there is a structural anchoring module (2) which also contains buoyant gas. The lifting bodies (1) and anchoring modules (2) are connected by slender structural elements which, when taken together as a whole form a non-rigid assembly.
