    Abstract: An unmanned aircraft comprises: a drive system to thrust the unmanned aircraft during a flight; a reverse thrust system to reverse thrust the unmanned aircraft during a landing; a controller operationally coupled to the reverse thrust system; and a detector to detect and notify to the controller that the unmanned aircraft is in an uncontrolled situation during the flight. The controller is then adapted to activate the reverse thrust system in order to reverse thrust the unmanned aircraft in-flight upon notification from the detector that the unmanned aircraft is in an uncontrolled situation.

    Abstract: A flight-operable, truly modular aircraft has an aircraft core to which one or more of outer wings members, fuselage, cockpit, leading and trailing edge couplings, and empennage and tail sections can be removably coupled and/or replaced during the operating life span of the aircraft. In preferred embodiments the aircraft core houses the propulsive engines, avionics, at least 80% of the fuel, and all of the landing gear. The aircraft core is preferably constructed with curved forward and aft composite spars, that transfer loads across the center section, while accommodating a mid-wing configuration. The aircraft core preferably has a large central cavity dimensioned to interchangeably carry an ordnance launcher, a surveillance payload, electronic countermeasures, and other types of cargo. Contemplated aircraft can be quite large, for example having a wing span of at least 80 ft.

    Abstract: An aircraft for unmanned aviation is described. The aircraft includes an airframe, a pair of fins attached to a rear portion of the airframe, a pair of dihedral braces attached to a bottom portion of the airframe, a first thrust vectoring module and a second thrust vectoring module, and an electronics module. The electronics module provides commands to the two thrust vectoring modules. The two thrust vectoring modules are configured to provide lateral and longitudinal control to the aircraft by directly controlling a thrust vector for each of the pitch, the roll, and the yaw of the aircraft. The use of directly articulated electrical motors as thrust vectoring modules enables the aircraft to execute tight-radius turns over a wide range of airspeeds.

The aircraft includes an airframe, a pair of fins attached to a rear portion of the airframe, a pair of dihedral braces attached to a bottom portion of the airframe, a first thrust-vectoring (“T/V”) module and a second T/V module, and an electronics module. The electronics module provides commands to the two T/V modules.

    Abstract: A vertical take-off and landing flying-wing aircraft has a pair of thrust-vectoring propulsion units mounted fore and aft of the aircraft pitch axis on strakes at opposite extremities of the wing-structure, with the fore unit below, and the aft unit above, the wing-structure. The propulsion units are pivoted to the strakes, either directly or via arms, for individual angular displacement for thrust-vectored maneuvering of the aircraft in yaw, pitch and roll and for hover and forward and backward flight. When arms are employed, the arms of fore and aft propulsion units are intercoupled via chain drives or linkages. The wing-structure may have fins, slats and flaps and other aerodynamic control-surfaces, and enlarged strakes may incorporate rudder surfaces. Only one propulsion unit may be mounted at each extremity and additional fan units may be used.
