Abstract: An ultra large, partially buoyant, aerial vehicle (10) capable of carrying up to one million pounds of cargo for a distance of up to 4000 nautical miles before landing or needing to refuel. The vehicle (10) comprises a lifting body (11) having a thick airfoil configuration further defining a lifting body shape, and includes structural support members held in tension by cable members (22), a skin (24) extending over the support members (21) to define an internal volume for storing cargo, flight stabilization apparatus at a center rear portion of the lifting body, propulsion apparatus (12) supported on various locations of the lifting body, and flexible compartments containing lighter than air gas to provide lift assisting capability, the compartments being carried within the lifting body.

Abstract: The invention is a shroud for a reversible thrust fan, the shroud having a inlet duct and an exhaust nozzle with the fan located there between. In general terms, the shroud includes a system for increasing the efficiency of the exhaust nozzle when acting as an inlet duct when the fan is providing reverse thrust. The system comprising a plurality of auxiliary inlet duct systems spaced about the circumference of the exhaust nozzle in proximity to the rear end thereof, the auxiliary inlet duct systems extending from the exterior surface of the exhaust nozzle to the interior surface thereof. The auxiliary inlet duct systems are movable from a closed position to an open position wherein air can be drawn from the exterior surface of the exhaust nozzle to the interior thereof when the fan is providing reversed thrust.
