Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric fueling system and a method of applying the electric fueling system for an unmanned aircraft or a vehicle that requires a metered amount of fuel. SOLUTION: The electric fueling system 10 for the vehicle that requires a metered amount of fuel includes a control box 14 provided with a plurality of switches, a battery, a control circuit card assembly, and a plurality of light emitting diodes; a flow meter 24 coupled to the control box and the vehicle; a pump 28 coupled to the flow meter, the control box, and to a fuel canister; and a housing 30 that houses the above. The control circuit card assembly 20 has control logic, which manages the functions of setting the fuel level, de-fueling the vehicle, fueling the vehicle, and changing the brightness of the light emitting diodes, and the control logic receives inputs from the plurality of switches, flow meter, battery and pump, and provides outputs to the plurality of light emitting diodes and pump.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a non-bladdered vertical fuel tank for a ducted fan aircraft. SOLUTION: A ducted fan aircraft contains a pod 12 releasably connected to a core aircraft of a ducted fan aircraft and a vertical non-bladdered fuel tank 10 accommodated in the pod. The vertical fuel tank is centered between the front part 14 and rear part 16 of the pod, and includes in the floor 20 thereof an outlet 18 located adjacent to a sidewall on the front side thereof. The outlet is coupled to a draw tube 24 accommodated in the core aircraft. The vertical fuel tank contains a pressure release hole 26 situated at the highlight part 28 of the pod duct.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a ducted fan core for housing a wide variety of payloads for an unmanned aircraft. SOLUTION: A ducted fan core 100 includes a frame 110 attached to an engine 120, a gearbox assembly, a fan 140, and a plurality of control vanes 130. A first surface 112 on the frame includes a plurality of connecting sections or electrical traces. The plurality of connecting sections are used for removably attaching a variety of pods holding various payloads. Thus, the wide variety of payloads can be conveyed by using the same unmanned aircraft, simply by removing pods from the fixed core of the aircraft and attaching different pods thereto. These pods are shaped so as to form part of the exterior of the aircraft, and when the pods are attached to the frame, they enhance the characteristics of aerodynamics of the aircraft.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an unmanned air vehicle capable of performing vertical takeoff from and landing on inclined surfaces. SOLUTION: Takeoff and landing modes are added to a flight control system of a Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV). The takeoff and landing modes use data available to the flight control system and the VTOL UAV's existing control surfaces and throttle control. As a result, the VTOL UAV can takeoff from and land on inclined surfaces without the use of landing gear mechanisms designed to level the UAV on the inclined surfaces. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
