A device for mounting and supporting a generally cylindrical or tapered tank, having a main axis X, that includes a pair of first retaining rods for retaining the tank along a vertical axis Z on each of a first and second end of the tank, a second retaining rod for retaining the tank along a horizontal axis Y, perpendicular to the main axis, on the first end of the tank, and a third retaining rod for retaining in a ball-and-socket joint, the means being located around the vertical axis and connected to the second end of the tank.

Device for retaining a tank in an aircraft

An aircraft having propulsion units for both conventional aircraft flight in the atmosphere and for high-altitude operation as a rocket. The aircraft is divided into a payload compartment and a compartment containing rocket propulsion unit propellant or fuel, and includes a long transverse wing with a small back-sweep to favor lift in the dense layers of the atmosphere and to thus make it possible to climb to high altitudes at a subsonic speed before using the rocket propulsion units. The return flight portion is performed by gliding or controlled as for a conventional aircraft.

Aerodynamic and spatial composite flight aircraft, and related piloting method

The seat specially designed for space vehicles and in particular space planes comprises a rigid hull and parts of axis of which the direction of alignment passes in front of the occupant of the seat and along him; the seat rotates freely around parts of axis according to the direction of the acceleration in order to always place the occupant in the orientation perpendicular to the forces of acceleration.
