Hills brief af 2016
- 1. HORIZONTAL IN LINE LAUNCH STAGING WHAT IS “HILLS”? This is the joining of two delta wing aircraft, nose to tail, to operate as one aircraft powered by the first stage until separation to deliver the second stage and payloads to orbital missions. PATENT US 8528853 B2 http://www.google.nl/patents/US8528853 WHAT DOES THIS OFFER? Combined with low drag, mass reduction, and advanced propulsion, it allows a reusable vehicle to deliver affordable launch services. Valuable lessons from the Concorde and lifting body designs add up to economy, safety, low vibration and low G forces. Stage separation in emergencies can rescue payloads or crews for lower insurance rates. THE CONCORDE'S DELTA WING VORTEX CAN HELP SPACE LAUNCH TOO We have assembled a teams of vendors and partners in several states. We will work with partners in industry, government, and education to deliver the best performance. Our willingness to grow in affordable steps can deliver all of this promise for the future. Small prototypes and development projects will pave the way.
- 2. Our propulsion team is developing a variation of an ejector ramjet propulsion. The efficiency of this system should require less fuel while operating in and above the atmosphere. Moderate speeds and air breathing efficiency are an ideal match this efficient airframe. In space a team of engines share a unique aerospike configuration for more efficiency in that environment. SIMPLIFIED PROPULSION ILLUSTRATIONS Our STAGING KEY INTERMEDIATE PROTOTYPE (SKIP) airframe is a cheaper development solution with early markets for suborbital and cube satellite missions. ALL stages will be fully reusable with no expendable losses. Other technologies will deliver mass reduction, light structures, and staging safety. EXODUS AEROSPACE “SKIP” PROTOTYPE P5; 16 FT. SPAN x 20 FT. LONG
- 3. Space investment should lead to ownership of exclusive high value solutions. These will be patented and deliver complete reusability with low risk. Stages serve the business mission as well as the flight mission. We will deliver small prototypes with many of the systems needed for later orbital versions. Early funding stages will deliver dramatic value for next round. The system will easily scale up to include great advantages for later manned applications. The golden age of aviation appeared in the great depression years. We will create a model of hope for the golden age of space, even as the DC-3 was for that earlier age. No orbital spacecraft have ever been reusable except the winged space shuttle and the X-37. But winged reentry vehicles cannot go on vertical launchers without a heavy fairing that robs payload. Wings can offer full reusability that no vertical launch has ever delivered. WINGS TO SPACE: THE WRIGHT STUFF www.exodusaerospace.com 905 15th Street Wheatland, WY 82201 phone 307-331-6448
