    摘要: There is disclosed a multicopter vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft. The aircraft comprises am airframe with spatial design, a pilot seat, a cockpit, controls, engine units, engine compartment, control system, remote control system. The airframe consists of a central section and, at least, two peripheral sections, wherein peripheral sections can be folded up or down, or be retracted under the central section. The central section and peripheral sections of the airframe have spatial design. Each of the peripheral sections comprises at least three standard engine compartments which are connected to each other. Inside each engine compartment there is an engine unit which comprises at least one engine and at least one horizontally rotating propeller together with the control hardware. Each engine unit is an autonomous member of the distributed control system (DCS).

    摘要: An aircraft has a fuselage, a first rotor assembly having a first rotor hub and first rotor blades pivotably coupled to the first rotor hub and a second rotor assembly having a second rotor hub and second rotor blades pivotably coupled to the second rotor hub. The first and second rotor blades have deployed configurations extending generally radially from the fuselage and stowed configurations extending generally parallel with the fuselage. A sequencing cam, positioned between the first and second rotor hubs, is coupled to the second rotor blades. The sequencing cam has a retracted orientation when the second rotor blades are in the stowed configuration and an extended orientation when the second rotor blades are in the deployed configuration in which the sequencing cam props support arms of the first rotor blades preventing transition of the first rotor blades from the deployed configuration to the stowed configuration.

    摘要: The present application discloses a foldable propeller, a power assembly and an unmanned aerial vehicle. The foldable propeller includes: a propeller hub, at least two blade assemblies, and a connecting member used for pivotally connecting the propeller hub and the blade assemblies, where each blade assembly is rotatable with respect to the propeller hub, and a rotation axis of each blade assembly is perpendicular to an axial central line of the propeller hub. In the foldable propeller provided by the embodiments of the present application, the blade assemblies can be folded upward or downward with respect to the propeller hub, improving spatial utilization and portability. Moreover, when applied to a tilt-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle, the foldable propeller can further be folded during flight, reducing a flight resistance.

    摘要: A beam for a rotorcraft rotor and particularly to a helicopter rotor. Said beam comprises a hub connection portion, a blade connection portion, a first flexure portion located between the hub connection portion and the blade connection portion and having a bending stiffness about a first axis which is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the blade, said bending stiffness being smaller than that of the hub connection portion and that of the blade connection portion and a shear portion located between the hub connection portion and the blade connection portion and having a shear stiffness parallel to a second axis which is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the blade and non-parallel to the first axis. Said shear stiffness is smaller than that of the hub connection portion and that of the blade connection portion.

    摘要: A multi-rotor UAV having a pull pin mechanism that engages and disengages the rotor arms from a deployed, in-flight position to a storage or transport configuration, thus making the UAV more portable and capable of carrying larger payloads with the flexibility of folding into a smaller configuration or profile for transport, such as in a backpack. The device includes a rotor arm utilization of a pull pin mechanism to lock and unlock the position of the arms, and a proprietary frame.

    摘要: A disc-shaped aircraft including an airfoil having a convex upper surface and a planar lower surface with the edges of the surfaces meeting at the periphery of the disc and having a plurality of rotational mini turbine jets affixed sequentially at the edge of the circumference of the disc, the turbine jets effecting vertical, horizontal, and directional thrust under computer and pilot control. Stable flight is maintained by an internal gyroscopic counter-rotating rotor blade system, individual control of the turbine jets, and a series of retractable flaps.
