    摘要: A remotely controlled flying device is intended to approach and contact a high-voltage overhead power line for operation thereon. The flying device includes a mechanical structure bearing propellers and an aircraft body containing at least a power hub, a flight controller, and radio communication means. An electrical shield encapsulates the mechanical structure. The remotely controlled flying device also has a surge protector or the like designed to locally capture and guide toward the electrical shield possible electric discharges in the phase of power line approaching and/or contacting and to render the electrical shield equipotential with the power line.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), comprising a fuselage outer shell defining a lateral axis, a longitudinal axis and a plurality of shell sides; fuselage center assembly positioned within a cavity defined by the fuselage outer shell; and a rotor arm and joint assembly. The plurality of the shell sides are concave with respect to the lateral axis or the longitudinal axis. The fuselage center assembly includes a lattice center defining a superior surface and an inferior surface as well as a plurality of channels, each channel having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein each proximal end is coupled to the superior surface and the inferior surface. The rotor arm has a proximal end and a distal end. A motor and rotor system is coupled to the distal end of the rotor arm. The rotor arm joint is coupled to the proximal end of the rotor arm, and the rotor arm joint further comprises an outer shell; and a plurality of quick release latches coupled to the outer shell and configured to coule the rotor arm joint to a plurality of corresponding latch receivers positioned.

    摘要: Proposed is an eVTOL aerial passenger drone, hereafter referred to as an aircraft, said aircraft comprising an electrically powered fan system, wherein said electrically powered fan system transposes longitudinally- or radially-captured ambient ingress air into at least one tangentially spinning thrust air stream traveling at extremely high outlet/thrust tangential velocities. Said tangentially spinning thrust air stream is corralled from said fan system by at least one volute or entrainment device to a splitter mechanism in order that said thrust air stream can be ejected selectively downwardly, rearwardly, and at an angle between downwardly and rearwardly, for lift and forward propulsion of said aircraft. The electrically powered fan system comprises at least one diagonal fan, preferably at least two diagonal fans in series, and can be additionally used to propel, in an alternative embodiment, a small-to-moderate sized multi-passenger aircraft.
