    Abstract: The modular aircraft system includes a single fuselage having a permanently installed empennage and plural sets of wing modules and engine modules, with each wing and engine module optimized for different flight conditions and missions. The fuselage and each of the modules are configured for rapid removal and installation of the modules to minimize downtime for the aircraft. Short wings having relatively low aspect ratio are provided for relatively high speed flight when great endurance and/or weight carrying capacity are not of great concern. Long wings having high aspect ratio are provided for longer range and endurance flights where speed is not absolutely vital. A medium span wing module is also provided. Turboprop, single turbojet, and dual turbojet engine modules are provided for installation depending upon mission requirements for any given flight. The aircraft is primarily adapted for use as an autonomously operated or remotely operated unmanned aerial vehicle.

    Abstract: An in-flight battery recharging system for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). This invention converts byproducts of a multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle's conventional propulsion system operation and airframe movements to generate electricity that, in turn, is used to power the propulsion system's electric motors, power onboard electronic components, and recharge the battery that initially powers the propulsion system's electric motors. Having this ability of recharging the battery in-flight gives an unmanned aerial vehicle a much improved flight time and range, thereby greatly increasing its utility.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a hybrid aircraft (F). According to the invention, a suitable position for mounting an energy generation unit (14) in the aircraft is identified, said energy generation unit comprising an internal combustion engine (34) and an electric generator (30) that is coupled thereto via a shaft. Independently of the position of the energy generation unit (14), a position is also identified for a thrust generation unit (12) comprising an electric motor (24) and a propeller (20) that is coupled thereto via a shaft (22). When the aircraft (F) is built, the thrust generation unit (12) and the energy generation unit (14) are disposed in the positions identified therefor. The generator (30) is then coupled to the electric motor (24) via an electric transmission device (16).

    Abstract: A ducted fan core for an unmanned aerial vehicle is provided that accommodates a wide variety of payloads. The ducted fan core comprises a frame, attached to which are an engine, gearbox assembly, fan, and a plurality of control vanes. A first surface on the frame comprises a plurality of connects or electrical traces. The plurality of connects are used to removably attach a variety of pods carrying various payloads. Thus, a wide variety of payloads may be delivered using the same unmanned aerial vehicle, simply by removing and attaching different pods to a fixed vehicle core. These pods may be shaped so as to form part of the vehicle exterior, and when the pods are attached to the frame, they enhance the aerodynamics of the vehicle.

    Abstract: An aircraft for carrying at least one rigid cargo container includes a beam structure with a forward fuselage attached to the forward end of the beam structure and an empennage attached to the rearward end of the beam structure. Wings and engines are mounted relative to the beam structure and a fairing creates a cargo bay able to receive standard sized intermodal cargo containers. Intermodal cargo containers of light construction and rigid structure are positioned within the cargo bay and securely mounted therein. The beam structure is designed to support flight, takeoffs and landings when the aircraft is empty but requires the added strength of the containers securely mounted to the beam structure when the aircraft is loaded. The aircraft is contemplated to be a drone.
