    摘要: The invention relates to a convertible aircraft operating method. According to the invention, the aircraft comprises: a fuselage, standard fixed wings which are equipped with ailerons, a tail unit with flight-control surfaces, engines, a rotor with blades, a transmission which is placed between the engines and the rotor and which is equipped with rotor clutch and braking means, a landing gear, means for transition from helicopter mode to autogyro mode and vice versa, and means for direct or reverse transition from autogyro/helicopter mode to aeroplane mode. The lift for a range of low speeds is produced by means of the rotor, while the lift for a range of high speeds is produced by means of the wings. In addition, the lift for a range of intermediate speeds can be produced using the wings and the rotor in autogyro mode simultaneously, and take-off and landing can be performed in autogyro mode or in helicopter mode with the engines coupled to the rotor. The aircraft comprises a hybrid helicopter/autogyro/aeroplane aircraft and, as such, can perform the direct or reverse transition to aeroplane mode from both helicopter mode and autogyro mode.

    摘要: In an exemplary variable area nozzle, a fixed duct section has an inlet and an outlet oriented approximately perpendicular to the inlet. A controllable nozzle member is disposed adjacent the outlet of the fixed duct section. The controllable nozzle member has an area that is adjustable to maintain a substantially constant nozzle pressure ratio. The controllable nozzle member may include first and second flap doors hinged and pivotable in opposite directions between an open position and a closed position and that also may be hinged and pivotable in a same direction so thrust from gas exiting the nozzle is vectorable. When disposed in rotor tips of an aircraft capable of rotary wing flight and fixed wing flight, the variable area nozzle may maintain a substantially constant nozzle pressure ratio near an optimized nozzle pressure ratio as the aircraft transitions from rotary wing flight to fixed wing flight.

    摘要: The disclosed flight control system includes a rotor blade speed monitor for monitoring the rotor blade speed of the jet powered tri-mode aircraft and for outputting a rotor blade speed command. The flight control system also includes an aircraft attitude controller for controlling the aircraft attitude of the jet powered tri-mode aircraft. Weighted rotor blade attitude stabilization commands and weighted aero surface attitude stabilization commands are output from the aircraft attitude controller to distribute power, control, and lift between the rotor blade and the aero surfaces. Relative weights of the weighted rotor blade attitude stabilization commands decrease with increasing aircraft travelling velocities, and relative weights of the weighted aero surface attitude stabilization commands increase with increasing velocities. A rotor blade lift controller receives the weighted rotor blade attitude stabilization commands and the rotor blade speed commands, and positions the rotor blade swashplate to adjust lift and control according to these commands. An aero lift controller receives the weighted aero surface attitude stabilization commands and deploys the aero surfaces to generate lift and control according to the received weighted aero surface attitude stabilization commands.

    摘要: Described is a configuration of an unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) that includes one or more lifting propellers that may be converted between an operational configuration and a transit configuration. When the lifting propeller is in a operational configuration, the leading edge of each propeller blade is aligned in the direction of rotation so that the lifting propeller will generate a positive lifting force when rotated by a lifting motor. When the lifting propeller is in the transit configuration, the leading edge of each of the propeller blades are oriented toward a direction of a transit flight of the aerial vehicle. Likewise, the lifting propeller is maintained in a fixed position during the transit flight so that airflow passing over the propeller blades of the lifting propeller cause vertical lift.

    摘要: The disclosure provides a hybrid aircraft capable of being propelled by a vertical rotor(s) or a horizontal engine(s). The aircraft includes a fuselage defining a horizontal plane, two wings attached to opposite sides of fuselage and oriented substantially parallel to the horizontal plane, an engine(s) configured to generate propulsion in a horizontal direction, and a rotor(s) extending vertically from the fuselage and oriented over a first portion of each wing. Each wing includes a wing frame and an aircraft skin covering at least a portion of the wing frame. When the aircraft is being propelled by the rotor, the aircraft skin covering the first portion of each wing frame is removed or rotated to facilitate airflow through the rotors. When the aircraft is being propelled by the one or more horizontal engines, the aircraft skin may cover the first portion of the wing frame, facilitating aerodynamic lift and stability.

    摘要: A vertical takeoff and landing aircraft includes rotors that provide vertical and horizontal thrust. During forward motion, the vertical lift system is inactive. A lift fan mechanism positions the fan blades of the aircraft in a collapsed configuration when the vertical lift system is inactive and positions the fan blades of the aircraft in a deployed configuration when the vertical lift system is active.
