MUMBAI, India, Oct. 5 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611101540 A) filed by Chandigarh University on August 22, 2026, for Tailless Fighter Aircraft With Convex Cranked Delta Wing And Integrated Internal Weapon Bay.
Inventors include Raj Sonare; Piyush Tailor; Sneha Grover; Amanpreet Kour; and Uma Shanker.
The application for the patent was published on October 02, 2026, under issue no. 40/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a tailless multirole fighter aircraft comprising a convex cranked compound delta wing, an anhedral inner wing section, and all-moving close-coupled canards configured to provide aerodynamic control without vertical stabilizers. The aircraft further comprises an integrated internal fuselage weapon bay having a flush sliding bay door, a front ready rack, and a rear sliding magazine configured for sequential storage and deployment of multiple missiles while maintaining a substantially continuous external aerodynamic profile. A forward aerodynamic curvature positioned ahead of the bay door redirects incoming airflow away from the weapon-bay opening, thereby reducing airflow disturbance during weapon deployment. The integrated configuration is configured to reduce external drag and radar signature while improving aerodynamic efficiency across high-speed flight conditions. The dual-stage internal weapon arrangement further facilitates increased internal payload capacity and sequential missile deployment while maintaining the low-observable characteristics and aerodynamic continuity of the tailless aircraft configuration.
