    摘要: A stowable lift rotor is coupled to an airframe of a VTOL aircraft. The VTOL aircraft is convertible between a VTOL flight mode and a forward flight mode. The stowable lift rotor includes a lift arm. The proximal end of the lift arm is coupled to the airframe of the VTOL aircraft. The stowable lift rotor also includes a rotor assembly including rotor blades coupled to the distal end of the lift arm. The lift arm is movable between various positions including an extended position in the VTOL flight mode, a stowed position in the forward flight mode and intermediate positions therebetween such that the distance between the rotor assembly and the airframe is greater in the extended position than in the stowed position.

    摘要: An aircraft having a high efficiency forward flight mode. The aircraft includes an airframe having at least one wing. A distributed propulsion system is attached to the airframe and includes a first plurality of propulsion assemblies and a second plurality of propulsion assemblies. A flight control system is operably associated with the distributed propulsion system and is operable to independently control each of the propulsion assemblies. The aircraft is configured for thrust-borne lift in a vertical takeoff and landing flight mode and wing-borne lift in the forward flight mode. In the vertical takeoff and landing flight mode, each of the propulsion assemblies is configured to generate vertical thrust. In the forward flight mode, the propulsion assemblies of the first plurality of propulsion assemblies are configured to generate forward thrust and the propulsion assemblies of the second plurality of propulsion assemblies are configured to shut down.

    摘要: A collapsible flying device is provided having a housing including first and second housing sections forming an enclosure, and a motorized assembly that includes a drive motor and a drive shaft driven by the drive motor. The drive shaft matingly receives the first housing section and is coupled to the second housing section, wherein operation of the drive motor drives the drive shaft to move the first housing section from a closed position adjacent the second housing section to an open position spaced from the second housing section. A rotor hub is rotatingly driven by the drive motor. At least two rotor blades are coupled thereto and positioned within the enclosure in a collapsed position when the first housing section is in the closed position, and extend beyond the enclosure in an expanded position when the first housing section is in the open position.

    摘要: Systems and methods for a vehicle-compatible drone. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes providing a drone having a plurality of blades and an expansion device. The expansion device is adapted to reconfigure the position of at least one blade of the plurality of blades from a first configuration of the drone to a second configuration of the drone. The computer-implemented method also includes identifying the drone being in a first mode that is associated with the first configuration. The computer-implemented method further includes detecting a trigger signal based on an event. The computer-implemented method includes transmitting a transition signal configured to cause the drone to transition to the second mode that is associated with the second configuration.
