    Abstract: A transformable gun launched aero vehicle having a ballistic projectile configuration and an aeroplane configuration includes a cylinder forming a shell of the vehicle in the ballistic projectile configuration and wings deployable from the cylinder. The wings are capable of achieving sufficient lift for sustained flight in the aeroplane configuration. The cylinder forms a fuselage of the vehicle in the aeroplane configuration. A wing includes plural rib elements, plural inflatable tubes where each tube is braced by the plural rib elements, and a wind shell disposed around the plural inflatable tubes and the plural rib elements. The vehicle includes an inflatable tail section that is inflated while the vehicle is in the aeroplane configuration. The vehicle includes a parachute that is reversibly deployable from a nose portion of the vehicle. The vehicle includes at least one landing rod. Each landing rod is reversibly extendable from the vehicle. A landing controller controls a first landing rod to extend after the vehicle has begun to vertically descend. The vehicle includes a folding propeller deployable from the fuselage in the aeroplane configuration. The vehicle includes a control system, and the control system includes a module to determine when the vehicle has reached a first predetermined state that defines an initiation of a transition from the ballistic projectile configuration to the aeroplane configuration.

    Abstract: A rotor blade subassembly for a rotor assembly having ducted, coaxial counter-rotating rotors includes a flexbeam, an integrated torque tube/spar member, and an aerodynamic fairing or rotor blade. The flexbeam is a laminated composite structure that reacts centrifugal loads and a majority of the bending loads of the rotor assembly. The flexbeam has a spanwise predetermined linear twist so that the pretwisted flexbeam is unstrained during specified forward flight conditions. The integrated torque tube/spar member is formed as a continuous, filament wound tubular composite structure having high torsional and bending stiffness that provides a continuous torsional load path and facilitates load coupling between the rotor blade and the pretwisted flexbeam. The spar segment of the functions as the primary structural member of the rotor blade subassembly and, is operative to react all bending, torsional, shear, and centrifugal dynamic loads of the rotor assembly. The torque tube segment reacts all torsional loads and some of the bending loads of the rotor assembly. The rotor blade is fabricated from a high modulus composite material and has a high aerodynamic taper such that the tapered rotor blade has a low outboard mass, a high inboard stiffness, and a high chordwise frequency. The high chordwise frequency allows the rotor assembly to be operated over a weaker modal response zone. The tapered rotor blade includes a triangularly shaped trailing edge segment that is responsive to the aerodynamic pressures encountered during operation of the shrouded counter-rotating rotors.

    Abstract: An aircraft includes propellers at a center of the airframe; a first power source; a pitch adjuster to change pitch angles of the propellers; a plurality of attitude control propellers; a second power source lower in output than the first power source; and a control circuit to control attitude of the airframe. The control circuit includes a first yaw rotation generation control unit to control first yaw rotation generated by torques of the propellers with the pitch adjuster; and a second yaw rotation generation control unit to control a second yaw rotation generated by torques generated by a difference in rotation speed between the attitude control propellers. The control circuit is configured to control the first yaw rotation generation control unit and the second yaw rotation generation control unit in accordance with a magnitude of a command value of yaw rotation.
