Is world famous for two things:
- 1. The story is ASTOUNDING and difficult to believe
- 2. The story is TRUE!
The Burnelli story fits the classic 
story
series
for example,
-
85% of the people who die in most airplane crasheswould be aliveif the planes were of Burnelli Design
And yet
-

On this
site, we'll show you a design of which NINE
planes were successfully built and flown between 1921 and 1946 and whose
principal characteristics make it:
than the aircraft we fly in today. Throughout this site we'll explain why the conventional aircraft is not crashworthy and hardly survivable in case of accidents - pictures and diagrams accompany our explanations for the sake of clarity. We'll also provide you with all the evidence you need to conclusively prove that not only is aviation run as a monopoly but that this industry willfully kills people every year by doing everything in its power to suppress a design now over 78 years old that could save people's lives, among others, these are: to name just three
(there are more). In the private sector we have BOEING, now almost a
monopoly by itself, having gobbled up McDonnell Douglas, engaging in joint
ventures with Lockheed and Bell to mention just two. And in the so-called
non-profit sector, the:
What have they done?
For
example, since early September 1999, NTSB Chairman James Hall has
refused to answer the question below and indeed the NTSB has never made
any meaningful disclosure regarding this question:
It is
the NTSB's duty to make recommendations to improve aircraft safety (among
other modes of transportation). Why are they refusing to answer this
question?
Secretary of Defense Cohen: Despite overwhelming proof
that the technical asseverations in the 1941 USAAC report which condemns
the Burnelli design are false, Secretary of Defense Cohen has repeatedly
refused to retract them. His continued refusal is perpetuating the
conspiracy against Burnelli which has already cost the lives of thousands
of aircrew during World War II and additional thousands of air traveler's
lives since then. Secretary Cohen has even refused the Burnelli
offer to accept the testimony, under oath, of the defense department's
most senior aeronautical engineer with regard to the veracity of the 1941
report. This is a blatant insult to the American people and
evidences the depth of the corruption discussed on this
site.
NASA, under the leadership of Daniel S. Goldin
keeps repeating that one of their engineers conceived the
lifting-body principle of design despite the fact that Vincent J.
Burnelli not only reduced the idea to practice in 1921 but was granted
many patents surrounding this principle of design from the 1920s until his
death in 1964.
The Smithsonian, under Ira M. Heyman, is aiding
and abetting NASA by excluding Mr. Burnelli from the Smithsonian Book of
Flight and distorting the truth about Mr. Burnelli and his many inventions
and contributions in its other publications.
The
Flight Safety Foundation , like the NTSB hasn't reported on the
fundamental flaws of the conventional aircraft, we believe their job is to
cover up for the flaws of the conventional design and refuse to
recognize the unique safety values of the Burnelli lifting-body principle
of design.
The
International Airline Passengers Association refuses to tell its
members that a safer aircraft exists! One wonders why one would be a
member of that organization if it doesn't look after it's members best
interest!
Overview track
The correspondence
between the Burnelli Company and these organizations is provided on the
main site. We sincerely hope that you will consider starting with
the Overview as this will give you the context to understand the magnitude
of the corruption and the persistence of the Burnelli Company to find a
way to resolve this problem.
IF you read nothing else, read the six pages of the
Overview (which starts on to the left under PURPOSE) because it will be
the most efficient manner for you to spend your time at this site.
Please, remember:
You could easily
become discouraged by what you read here. Discouragement comes from
the view that we are powerless because what we do is inconsequential and
therefore useless. No matter how small our contribution, every
little bit helps. Like the billions of drops of water which flowed
across Arizona, each one did a very small part in eroding the land
eventually forming the Grand Canyon. Won't you also consider being a
small drop? After visiting this site, please tell your friends about
what you've learned here / pass along this web-site address. Thank
you! |

1) Expose the frailties of the conventional airliners.
In other words, if you total distances traveled by airplanes around airports, bus and intercity buses and trains are safer than flying commercial aircraft and if you total annual deaths due to transportation, subways are safer than flying. So much for the myth of flying-as-safest-mode-of-transportation!
Cars, at the opposite extreme of commercial aircraft have experienced millions of accidents over the years since their invention. However, every year, car accidents become more survivable because car manufacturers make improvements to the design of cars. Accidents happen, car manufacturers have recognized. The industry, the NTSB and the FAA (both lackeys of the industry) as well as the tax-free foundations such as the AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) and the FSF (Flight Safety Foundation), don't recognize this fact of life and they are striving to deny its very existence by setting a 'zero accident' goal without making any improvements to aircraft design.
In other words, in terms of fuselage design, we are flying in newly built 60-year-old technology which doesn't protect us adequately during a crash. When you buy a new car, do you want to buy the latest, most advanced technology which will protect you in a crash or would you prefer to buy one of those East-German two-stroke cars built with 1950's technology (and hardly any crash-worthiness)? We thought so.
2) Document the existence of a safe & more efficient design for over 60 years.
The documentation shows that a conspiracy (note: this is not a theory) has prevented the Burnelli Company from building its superior and safer lifting body aircraft since 1941. This web-site will show you a great (and growing) number of documents proving our allegations.
3) Expose the conspiracy that has prevented safe design from being built. You will see that the conspiracy started as far back as 1917 and continues unabated to this day. It involves most of the large aircraft manufacturers, the Smithsonian, the Department of Defense, NASA and numerous tax-free foundations and associations who pose as independent groups but really act on behalf of an enormously powerful cartel.
One of the Burnelli Supporters recently spoke with an FAA official who confirmed that Burnelli was being prevented from building anything for political reasons, not technical ones.
4) Promote the design principle / technology to stop the senseless loss of life. Without adequate promotion of this principle of design and without your help, the senseless loss of life will continue and the criminals responsible will literally get away with murder.
5) About this Web Site This web site is made available as a public service; it is dedicated to making flying safer by shining a spotlight on the evidence of corruption and moral turpitude which runs rampant amongst the people and organizations who currently control. This web site is sponsored by the Burnelli Supporters Association, a loose association of people dedicated to exposing the truth so as to not only make flying safer but return us to a free economy. This site is mirrored in Europe and in North America for ease, speed of access, and redundancy. You too can become a Burnelli Supporter, write to us at aircrash@aircrash.com.
"One of the main reasons [for the injuries
and the deaths] is that aircraft manufacturers have concentrated
on 'airworthiness' and ignored 'crash-worthiness.' Airplanes
are primarily designed and built to withstand air pressure and
turbulence, but tests are rarely conducted to find out what happens
to a plane and the people in it when it hits the ground, a body
of water, or an immovable structure, such as the 14th Street
Bridge in Washington, D. C.
The hundreds of people who have been killed
this year in "survivable" airplane accidents have died
not because death was unavoidable; they have died because the
airplane they were traveling in was too flimsy, because their
seats and seat belts did not hold, because fire was almost inevitable and because, in a
fire, many materials used inside the airplane produced toxic fumes." THE SOLUTION: This is not merely theory, it has been proven. Furthermore, common sense and engineering principles will confirm that a strong
fuselage which protects passengers during a crash will prevent
most deaths when compared to the current alternative. A Burnelli UB-14 crash in 1935 at 130 mph proved the
fact. [Click here for Video(+audio) of Crash - 2 MB] (Video tape is better in quality - see VIDEO in the Introduction section of main site for more info on how to get video.) [Click here for Crash Report]
The Burnelli Lifting Body is also THE MOST EFFICIENT means of air transportation. Every year engineers who have never heard of Mr. Burnelli or of his Lifting Body try to "re-invent" the principle!
In 1920, Mr. Burnelli conceived the idea of replacing the dead weight conventional fuselage with an aerofoil fuselage which would provide its own lift and not be entirely dependent upon the outboard wing panels. This revolutionary invention was pregnant with many highly beneficial side effects which are detailed throughout the pages of this web site.
Vincent Justus Burnelli, in 1963, also designed
supersonic aircraft such as the one depicted below, the GB-888A. WHO SUPPRESSED THE SOLUTION: "The save harmless clause
is in fact simply an authority granted by officials of the United
States to certain private aircraft manufacturers to steal boldly
and deliberately the patents of any inventor whose patent appliances
the air trust may desire to use or may find necessary in its
continued hold on the Government's pocketbook!"
Mr. Nelson of Wisconsin, Congressional
Record [2 MB PDF]
The cartel still exists as does the 'save harmless clause' and the method of
stealing inventions hasn't changed as is witnessed by the 1984 McDonnell
Douglas letter and the 1963
Boeing letter. WHY THE SOLUTION WAS SUPPRESSED: What are political motivations for keeping
the Burnelli Lifting Body from flying commercially? Before we proceed: Keep the above in mind while you read. If you've read the page from the Congressional
Record, (downloadable above), you understand that a small group
of bankers & financiers and other characters (some: manufacturers, others:
manufacturers-to-be) set up a cartel in 1917. When you read further into this web-site,
in particular, when you look at the Carisi report which is found
in the Suppression Section, you'll see that the structural cost of building a Burnelli airframe is
half that of the conventional, further, McDonnell Douglas
says their Burnelli type Blended Wing Body (BWB) megajet burns
30% less fuel than a conventional jet of equal size. Further, according to Boeing, with similar
power, their twin engine Burnelli type B-754 had a maximum containerized
payload of 160,000 lbs., while the B-767 could only carry less
than half, 72,770 lbs., non containerized. In short, the Burnelli
type could carry more than double the payload and fly it 1,200
nautical miles further than the B- 767!
The cost of each aircraft is astronomical
hence most aircraft are leased from banks (who own their own
leasing companies) and if they're not leased, the Airline is
paying the bank on the loan for the purchase of the aircraft.
So you're the bank, do you make more money on a $150 million
aircraft or one costing substantially less? You got it. In addition,
if you stay with the conventional aircraft, don't you get to
make loans on TWICE as many aircraft since the Burnelli will
carry twice the payload and cost nearly half as much to build?
In addition, due to higher take-off and landing speeds you can't
build airliners carrying 800-passengers without having to lengthen runways
all over the world.
We're dealing with a multi-billion dollar
industry, which doesn't care one whit whether it kills several
thousand people each year. They're corporations and everyone
in those corporations are afraid of losing their jobs (as are
those who work for the government) and so they do what they are
told: what is best for the corporations ($s) and for the government
(saving face) all for the benefit of the Bankers (which President
Andrew Jackson had warned us about - see his warning in the Hot
Topics section under Index). Those who have the courage to speak
up get tossed out or are run over roughshod as was Rodney Stich,
a former FAA inspector who has recounted his many run-ins with
FAA management over blatant safety violations only to be told
to retract his report or face transfer or worse.
HOW THE SOLUTION WAS SUPPRESSED The Burnelli design has been suppressed for the last 60 years via a number of means all of which focus on denying the Burnelli Company both access to money and access to the public (Thank God for Internet). More specifically, here is how it has been done.
IN CONCLUSION
"... this Texas inventor [Mr. Burnelli] is just one of the many such inventors Nation-wide whose great contributions and inventive genius have been smothered in every way possible by these monopolistic groups. We found that what applied to the cross licensing and patent pooling in the monopolistic aircraft field, also applied with equal force to the fields of radio, telephone, telegraph, television, oil-cracking processes, shoe manufacturing, medical instruments, and so forth."
Mr. McFarlane, Congressional
Record [800K PDF] Today, Mr. Burnelli's designs and technology are used in his competitors most sophisticated military aircraft contracted for by the US Government, all products of the 'save harmless clause.' Burnelli's repeated offers to license Boeing, Lockheed and Northrop to build civilian and military aircraft embracing Burnelli technology have always been refused. Consequently, Mr. Burnelli's technology has not been used in civilian aircraft because aircraft manufacturers do not have the 'privilege' of being protected by the government in the theft of Burnelli proprietary and intellectual property rights. The manufacturers apparently don't want to acknowledge Mr. Burnelli's genius and their criminality in stifling the natural evolution of superior Burnelli technology since the mid-1930s. Their criminality has resulted in the waste of many hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer monies on dangerous obsolete aircraft technology and the unnecessary deaths of thousands of air-travelers. This travesty can only be described as a crime against humanity. Why should you care? 1) Every time you get on an airliner you are
playing a type of Russian roulette, if an accident should occur
your chances of survival are very slim and every time you fly
you spend far more than you would have if Mr. Burnelli's technology
had been implemented in the 1930s when his great genius was already
recognized by the great deans of aeronautics. 2) The cartel conspiracy flies in the face
of everything America stands for, in particular, Life, Liberty and the pursuit
of Happiness. What has been done so far? The Burnelli Company has been waging a seemingly
endless battle with government agencies, with manufacturers,
with so-called pro-safety non-profit foundations to overturn
the situation. This web-site documents much of that battle and
as time goes on, more will be added. Many others have helped. Over the years,
people on the inside have leaked reports such as the U.S. Army
Transportation Materiel Command report on the AC-1 which
mysteriously appeared in the Burnelli Company's mail (Burnelli had
competed for the contract and the AC-1 had 'won', the report showed
what 'dogs' both the AC-1A and its projected replacement the AC-II
were.) Others have told their friends and family, others still have
written letters to people in (so-called) high office and several
help by making speeches at the various clubs they belong to,
exposing this conspiracy. Others have had cards printed with the
web-site address and distribute them to friends and everywhere they
go. Store owners have placed these cards on counters for customers
to take etc. etc. It doesn't require much effort, just a little
initiative.
Among really famous people, General Billy
Mitchell did his best to expose the Air Trust for what it truly
is. (His Biography, and his Dec 5, 1934 and Jan. 7, 1936 letters
expressing his recognition of Burnelli's plight are found on
the web-site under More in the Index.) Contrarily to several
of his less visible supporters (9 members of Congress who opened
inquiries into this matter died from various causes at a
premature ages,) Mitchell died in bed, probably due to the stress
caused by his long running battle with the Air Trust. He died
undefeated but as yet unsuccessful. Let's finish Mitchell's valiant
quest to protect Life (Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness -
the foundations of our country). Would you please help? Would you help clean up the evil Burnelli,
Mitchell, Goodlin and so many others have, so far unsuccessfully,
been fighting? We'll only get it done with numbers. If you care about safety in air travel, if
