Not seeing a topic specific to Alexander Lippisch's patents, hopefully folks won't mind a few as a bunch of them are pretty interesting. The majority are post-WW2 when he worked for the Collins Radio Company and later his own company, Lippisch Research Corporation. By this time, he was much more interested in WIG designs (ground effect vehicles) than what he worked on during WW2 and before. But occasionally, you can see some of his concepts appearing in his post-war work.
The first is a patent filed in 1951 for a fluid propelled aircraft. The patent is more for the propulsion but the delta aircraft he uses harkens to his wartime work.
