Comfort and circulation
Seating, food service, bathrooms and rest areas connected by internal routes. Ergonomics, accessibility and use of the areas will be assessed in the layout and mockup.
BACL®7G
VTOL technology and circular aircraft
BACL®7G presents its proposal for disruptive innovation in circular aircraft: a vision for the evolution of aviation, focused on the user experience and developed in stages.
The technology and the travel experience.
After more than a century of advances in aviation, BACL®7G explores a circular architecture beyond the traditional tubular fuselage. Author and Designer Eng. João Budni proposes new possibilities for comfort, accessibility and quality of life.
According to the inventor, more than ten years of in-depth studies, analyses, aerospace engineering calculations, tests and repeated simulations led to the current concept, which he considers technically feasible with advanced aeronautical engineering. Results will be presented with records, conditions and limitations, distinguishing this assessment from independent demonstrations and certification.
Concepts and design requirementsBaggage and check-in
Passenger-linked baggage and two-layer check-in: first in the terminal hall; second on the boarding apron and access stairway, with magnetic validation. Flows, assisted mobility and data handling will be assessed; strategic mechanisms remain protected.
Vertical takeoff and landing
An objective to reduce dependence on conventional runways. Operation will require demonstrated capability, authorized locations, infrastructure and airspace integration.
Speed and altitude
A target above Mach 2.02 and study of altitude beyond usual commercial cruise. The envelope must be demonstrated for each configuration and flight conditions.
Pressurization and air reserve
A requirement for sea-level-equivalent pressure throughout the cabin, covering 360°. An emergency reserve for the complete flight plan, to be sized by mission and occupancy.
Weather and buoyancy
Intended reduction of adverse-weather exposure and protection during an emergency on water. Weather limits, stability, sealing and evacuation require assessment and testing.
Doors and assisted mobility
Depending on size and configuration, up to four passenger access doors and elevators for passengers requiring assisted mobility. Access, restraint systems and evacuation will be integrated into the layout and technical assessments.
Services and entertainment
Depending on size and configuration: onboard piano, entertainment area, virtual windows, restaurant and Coffee Bar, plus bathrooms and rest spaces. Planned features will be assessed by version and operating conditions.
Three prototypes for three applications
| Application | Planned diameter | Decks |
|---|---|---|
| Civil | Ø25 m | 1 |
| Military | Ø20.5 m | 1 |
| Aerospace | Ø52 m | 3 |
Planned configurations. Each version will have its own studies, integration, construction and assessment. The golden hangar image depicts the Ø25 m civil concept. Construction details and strategic mechanisms remain confidential Under Seal.
