Release Mechanism For A Forward And Aft Restrained Load In An Aircraft

US Patent:
7861972, Jan 4, 2011
Filed:
Jan 8, 2008
Appl. No.:
11/970768
Inventors:
Martinus M. Sarigul-Klijn - Dixon CA, US
Nesrin Sarigul-Klijn - Dixon CA, US
Assignee:
Airlaunch LLC - Kirkland WA
International Classification:
B64D 1/12, B64D 1/10
US Classification:
2441373, 2441181
Abstract:
An object is deployed from an aircraft using gravity extraction of the object with the aid of a small parachute. The object is restrained in the fore and aft directions on either side of the center of gravity by fore and aft loading chains which hold the object to a loading deck. The chains are attached to the object by pear shaped rings mounted to a load plate. The load plate is supported on a lower attachment plate mounted to the object and is attached by a pin to an upper attachment plate also mounted to the object. Pulling the pin causes the load plate to rotate about a hinge formed on the lower attachment plate followed by release of the load plate from the lower attachment plate and the object to be deployed.

Gravity Extraction Air Launch System For Launch Vehicle

US Patent:
7338015, Mar 4, 2008
Filed:
Nov 16, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/280494
Inventors:
Martinus M. Sarigul-Klijn - Dixon CA, US
Nesrin Sarigul-Klijn - Dixon CA, US
Assignee:
Airlaunch LLC - Kirkland WA
International Classification:
B64D 1/12, B64F 1/04
US Classification:
2441373, 2441371, 244 63
Abstract:
A launch vehicle is deployed from an aircraft using gravity extraction of the launch vehicle with the aid of a small parachute which assists the extraction and damps the yaw and pitch of the launch vehicle. The launch vehicle is supported on two rows of tires which are rotatably mounted to the aircraft. Gravity and the drag force of the parachute causes the launch vehicle to roll on the tires along the load deck and out of the aircraft. Because the extraction forces are dominated by gravity, the launch vehicle acquires a rotation in the pitch axis as the launch vehicle leaves the aircraft. After the launch vehicle clears the aircraft, the launch vehicle rotates in the pitch plane, and is damped in the pitch plane by the parachute to a pitch attitude which is 70-80° and the vehicle engine is ignited, detaching the drag parachute.

High Propellant Mass Fraction Hybrid Rocket Propulsion

US Patent:
2007014, Jun 28, 2007
Filed:
Dec 22, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/314467
Inventors:
Martinus Sarigul-Klijn - Dixon CA, US
Nesrin Sarigul-Klijn - Dixon CA, US
International Classification:
F02K 9/68
US Classification:
060200100, 060219000
Abstract:
A chemical hybrid propulsion motor can be comparable in performance to a solid motor or liquid fueled engine if it uses cryogenic nitrous oxide as its oxidizer and a pump such as a turbopump to transfer the oxidizer into the motor case. Cryogenic nitrous oxide (at about −100° F.) has high density which will reduce oxidizer tank volume and weight and this oxidizer combusts at a high oxidizer to fuel (O/F) ratio which minimizes motor case size and weight. The high O/F would also reduce unburnt fuel sliver and hence residual propellant weight. The pump not only transfers the oxidizer into the motor at increased chamber pressure that in turn increases specific impulse, but it also significantly reduces oxidizer tank pressure and weight as compared to a pressure fed motor.
