Abstract:
A helicopter uses electric propeller torque arm as power source directly driving main rotor to rotate. The helicopter may be battery powered. The helicopter may be without an engine, a clutch, a reducer, a tail driver, a tail boom, a tail rotor and a fuel supply system. The main design goal is to have the output shaft of the high-energy motor being coaxial with the main rotor shaft or having output shafts of a plurality of motors as close as possible to the main rotor shaft. The centrifugal force of the motor(s) is negligible or minimized. The torque arm assembly includes a plurality of torque arms. Each of the torque arm of the plurality of torque arms includes a propeller and a driving system. In the case of a malfunction, the helicopter's main rotor will spin like a maple leaf and will facilitate the spin autorotation landing.
