Abstract: Rotorcraft including a fuselage, at least three rotor system arms, a forward propulsion unit for providing forward propulsion to the rotorcraft and a flight control system. Each rotor system arm has a rotor system including a mast having at least two rotor blades and an electric rotor motor coupled to the mast for driving the mast whereupon the rotor blades act as a rotating rotor disc. Each rotor system has an individually controllable collective rotor blade pitch. At least one rotor system has a controllable cyclic rotor blade pitch. The flight control system controls the at least three electric rotor motors, the collective rotor blade pitch of each rotor system, the cyclic rotor blade pitch of the at least one rotor system and the forward propulsion unit in response to an input control indicating a desired maneuver to operate the rotorcraft for takeoff, flight and landing.

Abstract: Rotorcraft including a fuselage and at least three rotor system arms each having a rotor system. Each rotor system includes a mast having at least two rotor blades and an electric rotor motor. At least one rotor system arm includes a support mechanism for pivotally supporting a floating mast about at least one pivot axis whereby the floating mast is tillable relative to a fiducial tilt position. The floating mast has a controllable cyclic rotor blade pitch. A mast tilt measurement mechanism provides a mast tilt feedback signal regarding a measured tilt position of a floating mast relative to its fiducial tilt position. A flight control system continuously controls the at least three electric rotor motors and the floating masts cyclic rotor blade pitch in response to a desired input maneuver and its mast tilt feedback signal.

Abstract: Fixed wing rotorcraft capable of a flight trajectory from a vertical takeoff via straight and level forward flight at high airspeed to vertical landing without compromising controllability.
