    Abstract: A ducted fan air vehicle and method of operation is disclosed for obtaining aerodynamic lift and efficiency in forward fliglit operation without significantly impacting hover stability. One or more retractable wings (301) are included on the ducted fan air vehicle and are deployed during forward flight to provide aerodynamic lift. The wing or wings are retracted when the vehicle hovers to reduce the impact the wings have on stability in a wind. Each wing may conform to the curvature or profile of the vehicle when retracted, and may be constructed in one or more wing sections. The wing or wings may be deployed and retracted automatically or at the command of an operator. Each wing and related components may be integrated into the vehicle or may be detachable.

    Abstract: A Micro Air-Vehicle (MAV) starting system that provides the combined functions of: packing protection of sensitive vehicle components, a mechanical starting assembly, and a launch pad. The preferred embodiment comprises a container (110) and a container lid (101) with the MAV (200) clamped to the lid. Also disposed on the container lid is a starting assembly (111). The lid (101) which doubles as a launching pad with the attached MAV (200) is removed from the container (110), placed on the ground, the MAV (200) is started with the starling mechanism and launched. The arrangement minimizes the physical risk to the operator, minimizes weight of the total MAV system, consumes minimum space in the operators transport system, and eliminates dependence on supply lines for battery replacement or charging.

    Abstract: An aircraft may include a body structure and a propulsion system coupled to the body structure and including a mounting shaft and a rotor. The rotor may include a rotor hub and a set of rotor blades, wherein the rotor is configured to orient the set of rotor blades at a first collective blade angle during a first flight mode and orient the set of rotor blades at a second collective blade angle during a second flight mode. The propulsion system may further include a motor coupled to the rotor and configured to rotate the rotor in a first rotational direction in the first flight mode to produce thrust in a first thrust direction and rotate the rotor in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction in the second flight mode to produce thrust in a second thrust direction opposite the first thrust direction.

    Abstract: An aircraft operable to transition between a forward flight mode and a vertical takeoff and landing flight mode. The aircraft includes an airframe having first and second wings. A plurality of propulsion assemblies is attached to the airframe with each of the propulsion assemblies including a nacelle and a tail assembly having at least one active aerosurface. A flight control system is operable to independently control each of the propulsion assemblies. For each of the propulsion assemblies, the tail assembly is rotatable relative to the nacelle such that the active aerosurface has a first orientation generally parallel to the wings and a second orientation generally perpendicular to the wings.
