Abstract: Electrically operated propellant thrust assist supplements an airplane's takeoff, landing or inflight maneuvers. Unlike conventional SRM propellants, the burn rate of the electrically operated propellant can be varied via an electrical input and even extinguished by interrupting the electrical to control a secondary thrust profile (e.g., amplitude, transition rates) to fulfill the needs of a given takeoff, inflight or landing maneuver and provide a smooth transition in and out of the maneuver. Multiple pairs of fixed thrusters (opposite sides of the fuselage), a single pair of gimbaled thrusters or a hybrid of fixed and gimbaled thrusters may be configured to provide all such maneuvers. Flight control inputs are passed back and forth through an interface to enable the thrust assist.

Abstract: An aircraft for carrying at least one rigid cargo container includes a beam structure with a forward fuselage attached to the forward end of the beam structure and an empennage attached to the rearward end of the beam structure. Wings and engines are mounted relative to the beam structure and a fairing creates a cargo bay able to receive standard sized intermodal cargo containers. Intermodal cargo containers of light construction and rigid structure are positioned within the cargo bay and securely mounted therein. The beam structure is designed to support flight, takeoffs and landings when the aircraft is empty but requires the added strength of the containers securely mounted to the beam structure when the aircraft is loaded. The aircraft is contemplated to be a drone.
