Abstract: A VTOL aircraft includes at least one puller rotor and at least one pusher rotor. The VTOL aircraft, for example, may include three puller rotors and one pusher rotor. The combination of static puller and pusher rotors allows the rotors to remain in a fixed orientation (i.e., no moving mechanical axes are required) relative to the wings and fuselage of the VTOL aircraft, while being able to transition the aircraft from a substantially vertical flight path to a substantially horizontal flight path.

Abstract translation: VTOL飞机包括至少一个牵引转子和至少一个推动器转子。 例如，VTOL飞机可能包括三个牵引转子和一个推动转子。 静态牵引器和推进器转子的组合允许转子相对于VTOL飞机的机翼和机身保持固定的定向（即，不需要移动的机械轴），同时能够将飞行器从大致垂直的飞行 到基本水平的飞行路径的路径。

Abstract: A transportable ground station for a UAV includes a container in which the UAV may be transported and housed. The container includes a wireless or contact-based recharging station that recharges the UAV's batteries or other power sources after the UAV returns from a mission. The recharging station may be directly or indirectly connected to one or more solar panels that generate energy to power the recharging station. The ground station may be deployed virtually anywhere, from any vehicle (e.g., plane, train, boat, truck, etc.), and may operate over an extended period of time without human intervention.
