Mirrors to Redirect Mini Laser Weapons on Fighters for Vortex Airflows
Recently a new airborne laser system was announced to be put onto fighter jets, once this technology becomes more advanced we will no longer need missiles for air-to-air combat. The system, which will go onto a fighter jet would be called the; HELLADS or High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System, it is being tested now. It would be a system based on Israels THEL system which is a mobile Tactical High Energy Laser
I propose we have a set of mirrors in front of the aircraft redirecting the high-energy laser beam to areas above and below the wings and airfoils. This would blast the air and/or create vortexs, which would enhance lift which would allow for mini-tornado sucking of air over the wing in critical high angle of attack positions. During the firing of the weapon the mirrors would be retracted back into the front of the fuselage on a pole protruding in the front of the aircraft similar to this pole on this Bell X-1 Aircraft:

On the front of the tip of the pole would be a fold out system, which would expand out like a cone similar to the catch nets used for aerial refueling. Inside the cone protected from the relative wind would be the mirrors for redirection of the lasers to points near the boundary layer of air above the wing. There would be a grid system on the mirror to makes sure the right amount of energy was directed by the onboard computer system connected to the pilots input of the joy stick control. All this would synchronize with the amount of air needed to maintain airflow needed in the intakes for air and the thrust vectoring jets for stability. When not in use for evasive maneuvering the pole would retract into the nose of the aircraft.
We need an off shoot of this technology which is being tested by General Atomics and Lockheed to prove my concept will work. We can use redirected or reflected laser cannon beams to increase stability in transitional flight situations to prevent departure of the aircraft from flight, by changing the air around the airfoils and control surfaces, please be thinking here.

Wake Turbulence Vortices Use in Aerodynamic Aircraft Designs
We know of the tremendous amount of wake turbulence high wing loading swept wing aircraft create at high angles of attack. This intense airflow creation should be used with additional concave airfoils to push up on such surfaces. Further multiple swept mid wing gates similar to winglets should be deflecting airflow to these surfaces which are attac...
Blimp Laser Pole Aft of Aircraft for Vortex Propulsion
In studying aerodynamics of birds and how they use their wings, we see something that can help us in propulsion. We have noticed spiral, horizontal tornado type eddies above the wings, which increase a birds lift capacity, by way of suction. Tornadoes such air in and the birds wing along with it. This does not occur all the time in all birds wings,...
Why Use A URL Redirect?
The Benefits of URL Redirects and Sub DomainsDo you have a website that has a long and difficult to remember URL? More than likely you do because you did not realize the importance of a short and easy to remember URL when you purchased your first one. Then, after your website was started you did not believe there was anything you could do regarding...
What Is Laser Eye Surgery?
Laser eye correction the best way to correct your eyesight. There is a lot of talk these days about laser eye surgery. This kind of vision correction is very effective and an simple procedure that millions of people worldwide have already taken advantage of. Laser correction surgery is the best kind of technology when it comes to correcting your ey...
Increasing TAS in Modern Day Fighters with Expandable Wing Tips
As fighter aircraft get faster and faster there is a diminishing return on more aerodynamic streamlining in designs. You can only build the aircraft so Aerodynamically Correct once you have the best optimum design for speed, there is little you can do without changing the aircraft in-flight or the air itself. Of course both of those possibilities h...
Laser Eye Treatments for Vision Impairments
Laser eye treatment is the ideal solution for people who have been wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses for a long time. If you are tired of wearing contacts or eyeglasses, you may want to consider going for a laser eye treatment.Laser eye treatment involves correcting your vision with a laser so you can see better again without the need to wear co...
Choosing the Correct Laser Safety Glasses - Comfort Leads to Safety
Too many times I have come across situations in a laser room and the operator of the laser isnt wearing their safety glasses. When I have asked why, it was either they dont think that they can have a clear view or that the glasses were too heavy or they just didnt like them. I find this hard to believe that someone would risk going blind than to pa...
