    Abstract: A semiautonomously directed, autonomously controlled, gyroscopically stabilized, horizontal or vertical take off and landing (HOVTOL) flying apparatus employing two vertical lift devices equally and longitudinally spaced from the center of gravity of the apparatus; continuously integrated with a drive train apparatus, optional single or multiple power means; congruously connected thereto horizontal thrust devices. Integral to the vertical lift devices; pitch axis control devices situated at the exhaust orifices therein to vector said devices exhaust slip stream by a autonomous flight control system providing pitch stability. The autonomous flight control system providing continuously all flight control of the apparatus and said system being interfaced to a semiautonomous flight director device providing discrete flight direction function codes thereto. The combined effect of the apparatus is: When the power system rotates; coincident rotation of the drive train causes the vertical lift apparatus and horizontal thrust apparatus to counter rotate at right angles simultaneously providing both vertical lift and gyroscopic roll stability and simultaneously providing both horizontal thrust and gyroscopic yaw stability during flight; the continuous control thereof being accomplished by the autonomous flight control system and the directional steering, and function thereof in four axis effected by the semiautonomous flight director device which provides discrete flight function codes to the autonomous flight control system so as to disallow the initiation of negative flight maneuvers and/or functions providing for the safe unskilled pilot operation of the apparatus or any aircraft employing a autopilot having a autonomous digital flight control system.

    Abstract: One embodiment of a coaxial transmission/center hub subassembly for a rotor assembly having ducted, coaxial counter-rotating rotors includes a single stage transmission, a transmission housing, and a center hub support structure that are structurally and functionally interactive. The transmission housing includes upper and lower standpipe housings secured in combination with a middle housing. The single stage transmission includes an input pinion gear rotatably mounted in combination with the middle housing, and upper and lower spiral bevel gears rotatably coupled in combination with the input pinion gear to provide counter-rotation thereof. The spiral bevel gears include integral rotor shafts, respectively, rotatably mounted in the standpipe housings. The hub support structure is configured for securement of the middle housing internally in combination therewith, with respective surfaces thereof in abutting engagement so that dynamic loads of the rotors and thermal loads are directly coupled into the hub support structure via the middle housing while bending moments of the rotors are canceled in the middle housing. The hub support structure has radially extending arms for mounting the coaxial transmission/center hub subassembly in fixed coaxial relation to an airframe structure and for coupling the dynamic and thermal loads to the airframe structure. External surfaces of the standpipe housings function as sliding surfaces for linear motion of swashplate subassemblies to minimize the separation between the rotors so that the airframe structure has a compact aerodynamic and structural envelope. The transmission housing is internally configured to provide a splash lubrication subsystem.

    Abstract: A method for detection of air flow disruption includes monitoring air flow generated by an air propulsion system to detect one or more air flow anomalies indicating potentially blocked air flow. In response to detecting the one or more air flow anomalies, the airflow generated by the air propulsion system may be automatically reversed or temporarily stopped. A determination may be made whether the one or more detected air flow anomalies are resolved by the reversed or stopped air flow. The airflow generated by the air propulsion system prior to the detection of the one or more air flow anomalies may be resumed, in response to determining that the one or more air flow anomalies are resolved.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a motor for a drone, comprising: a rotary shaft; a stator including a hole into which the rotary shaft is inserted; and a rotor arranged on the outer side of the stator, wherein the rotor comprises: a cover part coupled to the rotary shaft so as to cover the upper portion of the stator; a body part for covering a side portion of the stator; and a magnet coupled to the inner circumferential surface of the body part, wherein the cover part comprises: a propeller coupling part including a hole through which the rotary shaft penetrates; an upper surface part connected to the body part; a connecting part for connecting the propeller coupling part and the upper surface part; and a plurality of blades arranged in the radial direction from the lateral surface of the propeller coupling part and formed so as to be spaced apart from the upper surface part. Therefore, the present invention provides the advantageous effects of preventing water or foreign material from permeating into the motor while ensuring an air passage for heat dissipation.
