A company under the name of Propulsive Wing, LLC was formed in 2006 (www.propulsivewing.com) to commercialize the propulsive airfoil concept, and a flying model airplane has been demonstrated. The model aircraft is shown in Fig. 50 as an autonomous aerial utility vehicle (AAUV). Note that the aircraft configuration is basically an un-swept flying wing using the propulsive airfoil cross-section shown in Fig. 44. A twin-tail is employed, most likely to counter the pitching-up moment generated by fan rotation, the high suction loading near the airfoil leading edge, and possibly the weight of the cross-flow fan. As mentioned earlier, fan housing inlet and exhaust deflectors, along with independently driven cross-flow fans on the left and right sides of the lifting body, can be used to provide effective flight control for the aircraft. Few details are given about the size and performance of the AAUV, except the company claims that for the same wingspan, the lifting capability of their platform is 2–3 times, and the internal payload volume is up to 10 times, conventional UAV configurations.
