Here on Earth, there is a need and is quite essential that we keep moving. But we must be progressive in our living and livelihood while protecting and preserving our planet. There are places to go, people to meet, and business to be had. Designed with electric aircraft and flying cars or taxis in mind, the Augmentable Air Injected Plenum Propulsion Drive for Electric VTOL Operation and Flight is the first electric VTOL propulsion system to employ the concept of opposing air flow and cyclic column compression of those opposing flow(s) to pressurize a plenum chamber. Opposing flow and cyclic column compression is then harnessed for the purpose of augmenting, or amplifying, injected air to provide enhanced air/fluid power to an electric VTOL thrust system for the purpose of VTOL operation and horizontal flight and is multi-modal for VTOL and horizontal flight.For VTOL operation, air is drawn in by injectors, compressed, and channeled into the plenum chamber which provides energized air to the ventral VTOL thrust assembly which further accelerates the air for vertical propulsion thrust. The PPD then goes into multi-mode transition by diverting air from the plenum chamber into rear injectors as they switch from injector mode to rearward thrust. This described synergistic process which is powered by electricity is what gives the Plenum Propulsion Drive the ability to provide power for flight while keeping the Earth healthy and green.
