Abstract: A system and method for controlling a multi-rotor aircraft that implements the unconventional use of an odd number of rotors. The odd or auxiliary rotor is designed to be smaller in diameter than the remaining main rotors and accordingly generates a smaller unbalanced torque and pitch on the aircraft. Additional configurations implement the use of smaller thrust rotors that can be used to generate thrust as well as control yaw and thus counteract any remaining unbalanced torque from the odd auxiliary rotor.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling a multi-rotor aircraft that implements the unconventional use of different sized rotors. The different sized rotors than the main rotors tend to generate an unbalanced torque and pitch on the aircraft that effectively decouples the pitch and yaw control from the main rotors. The atypical design tends to lend itself to improved control capabilities and simplified control systems. Additional configurations implement the use of smaller thrust rotors that can be used to generate thrust as well as control yaw and thus counteract any remaining unbalanced torque from the odd auxiliary rotor.

Abstract: A system and method for improving the flight control and efficiency of an aerial vehicle. Many embodiments are directed to a rotor-shroud assembly system where a plurality of rotor blades are connected to the internal side of a shroud and are set up to pivot through the use of a pitching mechanism. The entire assembly is configured to rotate when attached to a motor.

Abstract: A system and method for estimating the shear wall stress of an aerodynamic surface using a tuft visualization technique combined with a physics-informed neural network. The tuft visualization technique is a simplified method of generating velocity profile data of an aerodynamic model that can subsequently be used to generate a shear wall stress profile of the model. Systems and methods described herein also provide for additional input data using an augmented tuft and taps inputs for the physics-informed neural network to generate the shear wall stress profile.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses are provided for the reduction of hydrodynamic frictional drag. These systems, methods and apparatuses can include a vessel surface having an external layer and a plurality of dimples, wherein the external layer comprises a hydrophilic material, and wherein each of the dimples includes an inner surface having a superhydrophobic coating. The dimples can be configured to maintain an air-water interface as one or more fluids flow over the vessel surface. In some embodiments, a pressure reservoir can be coupled with the dimples, and can include an acoustic speaker to vibrate the air-water interface.
