摘要: An aircraft operable to transition between thrust-borne lift in a VTOL orientation and wing-borne lift in a biplane orientation. The aircraft includes an airframe having first and second wings zin a staggerwing configuration with first and second swept pylons extending therebetween. A distributed thrust array is attached to the airframe. The thrust array includes a first plurality of propulsion assemblies coupled to the first wing and a second plurality of propulsion assemblies coupled to the second wing. A flight control system is coupled to the airframe and is configured to independently control each of the propulsion assemblies. The first plurality of propulsion assemblies is longitudinally offset relative to the second plurality of propulsion assemblies such that rotors of the first plurality of propulsion assemblies rotate in a different plane than rotors of the second plurality of propulsion assemblies.

摘要: A drone including a front section, a wing structure supported by a rotor located behind the front section, and a propeller at the rear. The wing structure including two wings rotating the rotor, the wing structure being able to move between a flight configuration, in which the rotor is immobile relative to the front section and the propulsion provided by the propeller, and a flight configuration with the wing structure rotating, in which the rotor is rotated relative to the front section, the rotor being connected to the front section with a possibility of orienting its axis of rotation relative thereto in order able to direct the drone in the rotary wing structure configuration by acting on said orientation.

摘要: A gyroplane employing torque compensated main rotor and hybrid power train is disclosed. The invention incorporates a torque-compensated main rotor system with a common Collective pitch control, which can be driven transiently during flight to allow Vertical Take-Off, Landing and Hovering (VTOLH) flight operations. Torque compensation is via a coaxial counter-rotating (CACR) rotor system, or alternatively using a single rotor in conjunction with one or more electronically-controlled, fixed-pitch, thruster motors. The use of electric motors for lift and torque compensation facilitates electronic and potentially autonomous control of all phases of vertical flight.

摘要: The invention relates to an aircraft with vertical takeoff and landing and its operation method. Aircraft with vertical takeoff and landing of aerodyne type according to the invention comprises a circular symmetrical aerodynamic body (1) having an internal stiffening platform (2) located on the chord of the aerodynamic profile and which supports the components of the aircraft, at least four vertical ducted propellers (3a), (3b), (3c), (3d) arranged symmetrically to the central vertical axis of the carrier body (1), but also to the predetermined flight axis and to the transverse axis of the carrier body (1), propellers (3a) and (3c) having the same rotational direction opposite to that of propellers (3b) and (3d) at least two horizontal ducted propellers (4) with opposite rotation directions located inside the carrier body or outside of it, placed parallel symmetrical with the predetermined flight axis and on both sides of it, vector nozzles (5), one for each horizontal propeller (4), which provides vector orientation to jets of the horizontal ducted propellers (4), the means of power supply (6), which are designed to provide electricity necessary to operate all engines and all electrical and electronic devices on board, an electronic control and management flight module (7) and a landing gear (9), which aims to promote contact between the aircraft and the ground.

摘要: An oblique rotor-wing aircraft may be capable of vertical take-off and landing, subsonic cruise, transonic cruise, and/or supersonic cruise. The oblique rotor-wing aircraft may comprise one or more of a fuselage, a rotor-wing, a thrust-vectored propulsion system, a locking mechanism, and/or other components. The rotor-wing may be rotatably coupled to the fuselage. The rotor-wing may rotate about an axis in a first flight mode for vertical takeoff and landing. The oblique rotor-wing aircraft may include a thrust-vectored propulsion system that drives the rotation of the rotor-wing about the axis. The thrust-vectored propulsion system may include multiple, separately operable propulsion systems coupled to the rotor-wing and/or the fuselage. The oblique rotor-wing aircraft may comprise a locking mechanism that locks the rotor-wing at an angle oblique to the fuselage responsive to initiation of a second flight mode. The rotor-wing may be fixed at an angle oblique to the fuselage during the second flight mode.

摘要: While an aircraft is mid-flight, a braking start point associated with a stoppable rotor is calculated where the stoppable rotor includes a first and second blade and the stoppable rotor is configured to rotate about a substantially vertical axis. A process to stop the stoppable rotor is started, while the aircraft is mid-flight, when the stoppable rotor reaches the braking start point, where the stoppable rotor is stopped with the first blade pointing forward and the second blade pointing backward.

摘要: A tail sitter aircraft includes a fuselage having a forward portion and an aft portion. The forward portion of the fuselage includes first and second rotor stations. A first rotor assembly is positioned proximate the first rotor station. A second rotor assembly is positioned proximate the second rotor station. A tailboom assembly extends from the aft portion of the fuselage. The tailboom assembly includes a plurality of landing members. In a vertical takeoff and landing mode of the aircraft, the first and second rotor assemblies rotate about the fuselage to provide vertical thrust. In a forward flight mode of the aircraft, the first rotor assembly rotates about the fuselage to provide forward thrust and the second rotor assembly is non-rotatable about the fuselage forming wings to provide lift.

摘要: The Future AirTrain is Mass Transport Ground Effect Vehicle (MTGEV), The multi copter combining with the patent pending AirTrain or symmetrically joined Airliners design, is best for the class III Ground Effect Vehicle, it can operate in out of ground effect close to any surfaces, roads, body of water, dessert, ice and snow. At the same time it can operate at a high altitude to clear any size obstacles such as mountains. AirTrain is the combination of airliner technology, multi copter technology and unmanned aerial, UAV, technology. The AirTrain is the new concept of speed train and new mode of transportation operate in and out of ground effect safely to give the most efficient in the fuel economy, carry almost the twice as many cargo and passengers at any environment and weather conditions.AirTrain, the world's a super sized the first commercial Ground Effects Vehicle. As it is shown in the FIG. 1 below is the actual working model, symmetrically joined two airliners is combined with the quad copter technology and unmanned areal technology are combined to make the AirTrain to operate at low altitude much more safer and with control. AirTrain with the four horizontal quad copter engines and with additional one or two engines for propelling horizontal trust would give the AirTrain to give much more stability, control and also the speed.
