    摘要: The power plant of the hybrid (transformed) vehicle belongs to area of light aircrafts and motorcycles. The essence of the invention is a possibility of transfer the rotary moment from the motorcycle chain not only to the rear wheel, but also to two propellers. Thus propellers together with balancing device, called by the elements of the air drive (EAD) can be fixed in two positions. Firstly when the plane of their rotation is perpendicular to the planes of rotation of a back wheel (the flight mode). Secondly, when propellers (and EAD) are pressed to side parts of the hybrid aircraft (the land mode).

    摘要: The present invention discloses a vehicle (1) capable of being converted between a flying condition and an automotive riding condition. The vehicle has a telescopically extendable tail (10) comprising a first tubular tail segment (11) and a second tail segment (12) disposed axially slideable within the first tubular tail segment. The tail is provided with at least two form-closing coupling members (21, 35; 31, 36) located at an axial distance (LI) from each other for providing a force-transferring coupling between the second tail segment (12) and the first tubular tail segment (11) in the extended state of the second tail segment (12), each of said form-closing coupling members (21, 35; 31, 36) capable of transferring torque and transverse forces, and each of said form-closing coupling members (21, 35; 31, 36) coming into engagement by axial displacement of the second tail segment (12) in the outward direction.

    摘要: An air vehicle incorporating a hybrid propulsion system. The system includes a gas turbine engine as a first motive power source, and one or more battery packs as a second motive power source. Through selective coupling to a DC electric motor that can in turn be connected to a bladed rotor or other lift-producing device, the motive sources provide differing ways in which an aircraft can operate. In one example, the gas turbine engine can provide operation for a majority of the flight envelope of the aircraft, while the battery packs can provide operation during such times when gas turbine-based motive power is unavailable or particularly disadvantageous. In another example, both sources of motive power may be decoupled from the bladed rotor such that the vehicle can operate as an autogyro.

    摘要: A rotorcraft may include an airframe and a rotor connected to the airframe. The rotor may include a plurality of blades defining ducts along the length thereof and vents in fluid communication with the ducts. Flow from through the vents may be controlled by valves with piezoelectric actuators. The valves may be adjusted to achieve a lift profile suited for an operational mode such as vertical, autorotative, or unloaded flight. The lift profile may vary along the length of the blade and may vary cyclically with rotation of the blade. The lift profile may be chosen to approximate a figure of merit for the rotor suitable for a given operational mode.

    摘要: An unmanned, towable aerovehicle is described and includes a container to hold cargo, an autogyro assembly connected to the container and to provide flight characteristics, and a controller to control operation the autogyro assembly for unmanned flight. The container includes a connection to connect to a powered aircraft to provide forward motive force to power the autogyro assembly. In an example, the autogyro assembly includes a mast extending from the container, a rotatable hub on an end of the mast, and a plurality of blades connected to the hub for rotation to provide lift to the vehicle. In an example, an electrical motor rotates the blades prior to lift off to assist in take off. The electrical motor does not have enough power to sustain flight of the vehicle.
