A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11926429B2) discloses an innovative aircraft design capable of vertical and horizontal flight. The aircraft features a ducted fan with a cooling coil surrounding it, a battery for powering the fan, and a cooling system to regulate the battery temperature. During vertical flight, the cooling system discharges heat from the battery by circulating a heat transfer liquid through the cooling coil. In contrast, during horizontal flight, the system directs the liquid to the outer layer of the aircraft, bypassing the cooling coil.
Additionally, the aircraft includes a fuselage and wing configuration, with the battery housed in the fuselage and the ducted fan located in the wing. The cooling system utilizes a passageway in the fuselage for heat exchange during horizontal flight. The aircraft's unique features also include bent wings, louvers to cover the ducted fan, and fixed ducted fans for horizontal propulsion. The cooling system comprises a reservoir, pump, and valve, with the valve controlling the flow of the heat transfer liquid between the cooling coil and the fuselage passageway. This patented design aims to enhance the efficiency and performance of aircraft capable of both vertical and horizontal flight.
