Abstract

The toy airplane includes a paraglide wing positioned over a fuselage, and a flat connecting structure shaped in the form of a lifelike being is mounted on the fuselage and connects the paraglide wing to the fuselage. A propeller is rotatably supported at the forward end of the fuselage and its axis of rotation is inclined downwardly with respect to the paraglide wing and fuselage.

Claims

1. A toy airplane comprising an elongated fuselage, a tail assembly at one end of said fuselage and a propeller at the other end of said fuselage, said propeller having an axis of rotation inclined downwardly in a forward direction with respect to said fuselage, power means for rotating said propeller, a paraglide wing positioned over said fuselage with a center spar extending approximately in the same vertical plane as said fuselage and inclined upwardly in a forward direction with respect to said fuselage and side spars each connected at one end to the forward end of said center spar and diverging approximately equally on opposite sides rearwardly from said center spar, flexible sheet material connected to each of said center and side spars, an approximately flat connecting structure connected between said fuselage and the center spar of said paraglide wing with the plane of said approximately flat connecting structure extending parallel to said fuselage and said center spar.

2. The toy airplane of claim 1 and further comprising a lifelike figure mounted on said fuselage with said flat connecting structure forming at least a portion of the lifelike figure.

3. The toy airplane of claim 1 and wherein the side and center spars of said paraglide wing are located in a common plane and a cross brace is connected at its end portions and at its center portion to said side and center spars.

4. The toy airplane of claim 1 and further including landing gear connected to and extending downwardly from the forward portion of said fuselage, and further including a lifelike figure mounted on said fuselage with said flat connecting structure and said landing gear forming at least a portion of the lifelike figure.

5. The toy airplane of claim 1 and further including a lifelike figure mounted on said fuselage with said flat connecting structure forming a portion of said lifelike figure, and further including a projection mounted on and extending above said center spar and forming a portion of said lifelike figure.

6. A toy airplane comprising an elongated fuselage, a tail assembly at one end of said fuselage and a propeller at the other end of said fuselage, power means for rotating said propeller, a paraglide wing positioned over said fuselage, an approximately flat lifelike figure comprising connecting structure connected to said fuselage and to said paraglide wing with the plane of said connecting structure extending parallel to said fuselage, said lifelike figure including a body portion of the lifelike figure extending between said fuselage and said paraglide wing and a head portion extending above the paraglide wing.
