Canada is an energy superpower and we’re going to lead the world in sustainable energy. That’s why we introduced new measures to cut methane emissions – to drive innovation, bring down pollution, and make Canada more competitive in global energy markets.






Bi-Directional Flying Wing Air-Breathing Drone -Russian Patent #ufotwitter Patent describes a flying wing (летающее крыло) design optimized for both subsonic and supersonic flight by enabling a 90° rotation of the aircraft's orientation in flight—similar to the "Supersonic Bi-Directional Flying Wing" (SBiDir-FW) concept explored in NASA and academic research. Key Features from the Patent Air intake device mounted in the wing, rotatable relative to the wing's longitudinal axis (in the plane of its construction horizontal) by an angle α from 0° to 90°. Thrust vector control system for the jet engines, which adjusts the thrust vector in the same plane by an angle β = α, but in the opposite direction to the air intake rotation. Flight control and stabilization systems. Engines/powerplant are integrated into the wing. Goal: Improve aerodynamic efficiency across all flight regimes (subsonic to supersonic) and reduce radar visibility (stealth/low observability) by minimizing external protrusions like nacelles or traditional tail surfaces. The design addresses the classic trade-off: A flying wing good for supersonic flight (highly swept, low aspect ratio) performs poorly at low speeds, and vice versa. By rotating the entire vehicle 90° in flight (with coordinated air intake and thrust adjustments), the "long" direction becomes the wingspan for subsonic efficiency, and the "short" direction for supersonic/low-drag flight. Applicant: A military educational/research institution affiliated with the Russian Air Force (Voronezh academy named after Zhukovsky and Gagarin, under the Ministry of Defense). Inventors are Russian engineers/academics. patents.google.com/patent/RU27067…
