    摘要: An aerial vehicle that comprises a main frame and a plurality of operable multicopter units. Each multicopter unit has a plurality of propulsion units. The propulsion units are attached to the respective multicopter unit at a fixed roll angle, a fixed pitch angle and a fixed yaw angle. The plurality of operable multicopter units are attached to the main frame by interposition of respective joints and rotate relative to the main frame independently to each other. At least one of the joints has a minimum of one degree of freedom, such that the main frame has a at least the same or higher number of controllable degrees of freedom than the total number of degrees of freedom of the main frame.

    摘要: A hybrid foldable system of wings and rotors of a flying vehicle, and a flying vehicle. The flying vehicle includes a vehicle body, two wings, wing rotating mechanisms, rotor supports, rotor support rotating mechanisms, and rotor assemblies. The wings are movably connected to the vehicle body and the wing rotating mechanisms drive the wings to rotate to expand or retract. The rotor assemblies expand to two sides of each wing, or reversely rotate to retract to inner sides of each wing. Vertical taking-off and landing and stable flight in the air of the flying vehicle can be realized. In addition, when running on the ground, the wing and the rotor assemblies can be rotationally folded and placed on the inner sides of the vehicle body, so that space is reduced, and the limit requirements of urban roads regarding the size of the vehicle are satisfied.

    摘要: An unmanned aerial vehicle includes a fuselage defining a fuselage chamber. A first boom is coupled to the fuselage. A first rotor lift assembly is coupled to the first boom for providing a first lifting force. A second boom is coupled to the fuselage. A second rotor lift assembly is coupled to the second boom for providing a second lifting force. A third boom is coupled to the fuselage. A third rotor lift assembly is coupled to the third boom for providing a third lifting force. A fourth boom is coupled to the fuselage. A fourth rotor lift assembly is coupled to the fourth boom for providing a fourth lifting force. An electronic controller system is within the fuselage and operates the first rotor lift assembly, the second rotor lift assembly, the third rotor lift assembly and the fourth rotor lift assembly.
