- What
aircraft company has developed this new design?
Multipurpose Aircraft with Modular Fuselage (MAMF) is a privately novel
aircraft design of Antonio Sanchez, a Spanish inventor.
- Can the container induct dangerous vibrations on the
airframe?
- The container is fixed
firmly into the rails for a lock of quadruple zipper that is operated from
the head. The lock points of the rack
contacts and close firmly with the transversal reinforcements of the
container fuselage (frames), creating a
single and rigid unique virtual
structure.
-
Additionally, in the union faces with the head
and the tail has two closings operated handly or electrically. These
closings assure the unions airtightness and reinforce the solidity of the
integral structure.
- Is secure command the aircraft with a folding cable?
"Fly
by wire" is a "state of art" technology implemented in many modern airplanes. In this new model,
the only variation is to fold the surplus cable. Two redundant folded
cables type multiconector of high endurance are housed inside the rails.
The
cable bends automatically in its lodging located in the
upper part of the head module.
- How works the tail module?
The tail
have with purely aerodynamic functions.
Is divided in two halves,
that rises on the rails
drived by electrical actuators. The head and the tail
run on the rails, drived by motors.
- Which are the measures of the
container?
-
Section should have standard
measures in function of each aircraft model. Lenght can be variable.
-
-
- How the center of gravity of the
airplane is balanced, if this can fly without the central module?
-
Obligatorily, head should be a module of certain relative weight.
With the container
loaded, the center of gravity of the airplane is situated on the geometric
center of the container. Moving the head on the rails is possible to
balance in each flight the center of gravity of the aircraft.
In this way, the aircraft can fly in a sure way with
or without container.
- How
rigid and heavy should be the rail airframe?
Modern "state
of art" laser welding technologies permit achieve an extra reinforcement in
the conventional airframes, and besides it saves weight in the structure .
Rails are a non conventional reinforced airframe laser-welded. Inside the
hollow rail airframe are installed the lock-zip, cables and hydraulics
conduits.
