US Patent:

6921046, Jul 26, 2005

Filed:

Jul 24, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/912078

Inventors:

Richard J. Bacon - Golden CO, US

Assignee:

3X Jet Aircraft Company - Golden CO

International Classification:

B64D027/20

US Classification:

244 52, 244 55, 244 58, 244 53 R

Abstract:

A centerline mounted overbalanced multiple main jet engine configuration. The multiple jet engines are centerline mounted rather than parallel offset. While each jet engine is a “main” engine, capable of safely operating the aircraft in the event of a failure of the other engines, the engines are overbalanced in the sense that at least one of the main engines has substantially greater thrust than the other main engines. All of the main engines operate at critical periods of flight, but only one or the other of the main engines operates at other periods. The configuration of this invention combines the efficiency and performance of a single engined aircraft with enhanced safety advantages.

Inventors:

Richard J. Bacon - Golden CO, US

Assignee:

3x Jet Aircraft Company - Golden CO

International Classification:

B64D 27/16

US Classification:

244 55, 244 53 R

Abstract:

Methods of operating a multi-engine jet-aircraft. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a first jet engine and a second jet engine are provided. One of the jet engines has a lesser maximum thrust capability than the other jet engine as a result of limiting the former's maximum thrust capability, but the two jet engines are otherwise equally powered. During various segments of flight, both the first jet engine and second jet engine are utilized. A thrust differential between the first jet engine and the second jet engine is created during one or more flight segments by continuing to run either the first jet engine or second jet engine, but running the other at a reduced power.
