Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein for unmanned flight optimization. A system for unmanned flight comprises a set of motors configured to provide locomotion to an unmanned aerial vehicle, a set of wings coupled to a body of the unmanned aerial vehicle via an actuator and configured to move relative to the body of the unmanned aerial vehicle, a sensor system on the unmanned aerial vehicle, and a control circuit. The control circuit being configured to: retrieve a task profile for a task assigned to the unmanned aerial vehicle, cause the set of motors to lift the unmanned aerial vehicle, detect condition parameters based on the sensor system, determine a position for the set of wings based on the task profile and the condition parameters, and cause the actuator to move the set of wings to the wing position while the unmanned aerial vehicle is in flight.

Abstract: An ornithopter includes a main wing mounted on a fuselage, and a control system configured to control a flapping motion of the main wing. The main wing includes an inner spar, an outer spar, and a wrist portion disposed between the inner spar and the outer spar and which varies a bending angle, which is a relative angle between the inner spar and the outer spar, within a predetermined angle range. The control system includes an actuator which performs a raising motion and a lowering motion of the inner spar by moving the inner spar in an upward direction and in a downward direction, an angle sensor which measures the bending angle, and a control unit which controls the actuator to move the inner spar in response to the measured bending angle.

Abstract: This invention relates to a drone, method and systems for displaying messages and/or images by using a group of one or more remotely controlled airborne drones provided with display means and controlled so the messages and/or images are created and are visual by the display means of the group of airborne drones. The display means are controlled such that the messages and/or images are 2D or 3D respectively. The display means may include LED's, OLED's or LCD based on means or DLP and/or laser projection means. The display of messages and/or images can be remotely controlled using a social gateway for airborne visualization, enabling the integration of content from end-user and marketing clients based on the drone's geographic position and social media audience profile.

Abstract: This invention proposes a method which enables one to combine several autonomous areal vehicles into a larger areal vehicle.In particular, the proposed method enables arranging areal vehicles in a joint formation whereby a number of winged sections is joined horizontally and the flapping of the wings between the sections is coordinated in such a manner as to increase the lift-to-drag ratio. Changing the angle between the sections during the flight is done to increase the maneuverability of the vehicle.

Abstract: The claimed invention is an ornithopter with three improvements over previous designs. First, it has a more efficient wing. Instead of using a heavy bracing rod to regulate the flexibility of the wing, it uses a lightweight cable tension system. Second, it has a steering mechanism that separates the servos from the tail itself, reducing the likelihood of damage in the event of a crash. Third, the ornithopter has a modular design, which allows more control over the external appearance of the model. Various bodies can be used with the same drive mechanism, and it permits the individual hobbyist or the kit manufacturer to produce additional body designs without having to take on the complex task of designing a new flapping mechanism.

Abstract: A flying wing rotation mechanism of a micro air vehicle is driven under a control of a power module and a detent member. The flying wing rotation mechanism of a micro air vehicle includes a flapping arm and a flying wing. The flapping arm is connected to the detent member, and swings as the power module drives the detent member. An end of the flying wing is pivoted to the flapping arm. When the flapping arm swings, the flying wing swings with the flapping arm in sync. When swing direction of the flapping arm changes, the flying wing rotates relative to an axial direction of the flapping arm.

Abstract: The invention described here offers a more effective method of ornithopter flight control. To accomplish this, the ornithopter has dual microprocessor-controlled drive systems for flapping the wings independently of each other. Various wing movements can cause the ornithopter to turn, roll, or pitch up or down. Weight and complexity are reduced by eliminating the need for servo-controlled tail surfaces.
