Stops other companies making a product design which they are considering.
Just weird that they put a lot in development for this despite may never even seeing it in the future.
I wouldnāt feel safe on one of theseā¦
It isnāt a lot of development. It is just ideas. Patents are just documents that outlines someones ideas so they can say āhey, we thought of this first! Youāre trying to make something using our idea so we are going to try to sue you!ā.

Precisely AR_AR. Thankfully some patents didnāt see the light of day, like Airbusā bike seats for aircraft (this one was horrible)

Great pain I imagine š hahaha
Well there were very ambitious things Boeing wanted and (likely) put money in to like the SST they wanted.
Nose of Cseries, Props of Osprey, Tail of ERJ, shorter than A318.

Looks Great plane!
Would it not lose lift when turning the propellors from āhelicopter modeā to āplane modeā?
As the prop pods turn forward there is a transition as the aircraft increases forward speed and lift transfers from the props to the wings.
