    Abstract: The present invention relates to an aircraft comprising a fuselage (100) comprising a fuselage axis (101), a first wing arrangement (110) and a second wing arrangement (120). The first wing arrangement (110) is mounted to the fuselage (100) such that the first wing arrangement (110) is tiltable around a first longitudinal wing axis (111) of the first wing arrangement (110) and such that the first wing arrangement (110) is rotatable around the fuselage axis (101). The second wing arrangement (120) comprises at least one propulsion unit (122), wherein the second wing arrangement (120) is mounted to the fuselage (100) such that the second wing arrangement (120) is tiltable around a second longitudinal wing axis (121) of the second wing arrangement (120) and such that the second wing arrangement (120) is rotatable around the fuselage axis (101). The first wing arrangement (110) and the second wing arrangement (120) are adapted in such a way that, in a fixed-wing flight mode, the first wing arrangement (110) and the second wing arrangement (120) do not rotate around the fuselage axis (101). The first wing arrangement (110) and the second wing arrangement (120) are further adapted in such a way that, in a hover flight mode, the first wing arrangement (110) and the second wing arrangement (120) are tilted around the respective first longitudinal wing axis (111) and the respective second longitudinal wing axis (121) with respect to its orientations in the fixed-wing flight mode and that the first wing arrangement (110) and the second wing arrangement (120) rotate around the fuselage axis (101).

    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can be deployed from a small stowed package for flight and stowed back into the package after the flight is complete is disclosed. The UAV is retracted to a volume that is less than half of it's fully deployed volume. This allows the UAV to be transported to any desired field position on a truck or other convenient transportation. The UAV may also be launched from a ship deck. In a further aspect, the flexible deployment of the UAV will allow a single UAV to be used in place of multiple types of UAVs.

    Abstract: System and method to construct vertical and/or short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) aerial vehicles capable of being folded into compact size, and capable of be combined with one or more such vehicles to form bigger composite aerial vehicles. Airframe of the vehicle comprises a plurality of wings on lateral or periphery of thrust generators, wherein arrangements of wings make it possible to optionally fold wings without moving thrust generators. Folding transforms such vehicles into ground vehicles which can share roads and house parking lots with conventional ground vehicles. Therefore such vehicles can be used as V/STOL flying cars. Means are provided for attaching to and detaching from one or more similarly equipped vehicles in flight or before takeoff, so that multiple vehicles can form a large composite vehicle. Compactness, combinability and V/STOL capability enable versatile applications.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating an airfoil system. A gas may be generated. The gas may be sent into an inflatable airfoil system comprising an inflatable air foil and a section. The inflatable airfoil may have an inner end and an outer end in which the inflatable airfoil may be comprised of a number of materials that substantially pass electromagnetic waves through the inflatable airfoil. The section may have a number of openings in which the inner end of the inflatable airfoil may be associated with the section. The section may be configured to be associated with a fuselage. The number of openings may be configured to provide communications with an interior of the inflatable airfoil. The section with the number of openings may be configured to reduce reflection of the electromagnetic waves encountering the section.

    Abstract: A wing includes a spar, and a pair of flexible skins that are attached to the spar. The spar is at the leading edge of the wing, and the skins extend toward the trailing edge of the wing. The wing deploys from a stowed condition, in which the skins are curved in the same direction around a fuselage of an aircraft, to a deployed condition, in which the skins provide the wing with an airfoil cross-sectional shape, for example with the skins curve in opposite direction. A lock is used to maintain the skins in the deployed state, with the lock for example located at the trailing edge of the wing. The lock may be a mechanical mechanism that automatically locks the wing in the deployed state, preventing the wing from returning to the stowed state.
