    Abstract: A vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned aircraft system (UAS) may be uniquely capable of VTOL via a folded wing design while also configured for powered flight as the wings are extended. In a powered flight regime with wings extended, the VTOL UAS may maintain controlled powered flight as a twin pusher canard design. In a zero airspeed (or near zero airspeed) nose up attitude in a VTOL flight regime with the wings folded, the unmanned aircraft system may maintain controlled flight using main engine thrust as well as vectored thrust as a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. An airborne transition from VTOL flight regime to powered flight and vice versa may allow the VTOL UAS continuous controlled flight in each regime.

    Abstract: A manned/unmanned aerial vehicle adapted for vertical takeoff and landing using the same set of engines for takeoff and landing as well as for forward flight. An aerial vehicle which is adapted to takeoff with the wings in a vertical as opposed to horizontal flight attitude which takes off in this vertical attitude and then transitions to a horizontal flight path. An aerial vehicle which controls the attitude of the vehicle during takeoff and landing by alternating the thrust of engines, which are separated in least two dimensions relative to the horizontal during takeoff. An aerial vehicle which uses a rotating platform of engines in fixed relationship to each other and which rotates relative to the wings of the vehicle for takeoff and landing.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an aircraft comprising a fuselage (100) comprising a fuselage axis (101), a first wing arrangement (110) and a second wing arrangement (120). The first wing arrangement (110) is mounted to the fuselage (100) such that the first wing arrangement (110) is tiltable around a first longitudinal wing axis (111) of the first wing arrangement (110) and such that the first wing arrangement (110) is rotatable around the fuselage axis (101). The second wing arrangement (120) comprises at least one propulsion unit (122), wherein the second wing arrangement (120) is mounted to the fuselage (100) such that the second wing arrangement (120) is tiltable around a second longitudinal wing axis (121) of the second wing arrangement (120) and such that the second wing arrangement (120) is rotatable around the fuselage axis (101). The first wing arrangement (110) and the second wing arrangement (120) are adapted in such a way that, in a fixed-wing flight mode, the first wing arrangement (110) and the second wing arrangement (120) do not rotate around the fuselage axis (101). The first wing arrangement (110) and the second wing arrangement (120) are further adapted in such a way that, in a hover flight mode, the first wing arrangement (110) and the second wing arrangement (120) are tilted around the respective first longitudinal wing axis (111) and the respective second longitudinal wing axis (121) with respect to its orientations in the fixed-wing flight mode and that the first wing arrangement (110) and the second wing arrangement (120) rotate around the fuselage axis (101).

    Abstract: System and method to construct vertical and/or short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) aerial vehicles capable of being folded into compact size, and capable of be combined with one or more such vehicles to form bigger composite aerial vehicles. Airframe of the vehicle comprises a plurality of wings on lateral or periphery of thrust generators, wherein arrangements of wings make it possible to optionally fold wings without moving thrust generators. Folding transforms such vehicles into ground vehicles which can share roads and house parking lots with conventional ground vehicles. Therefore such vehicles can be used as V/STOL flying cars. Means are provided for attaching to and detaching from one or more similarly equipped vehicles in flight or before takeoff, so that multiple vehicles can form a large composite vehicle. Compactness, combinability and V/STOL capability enable versatile applications.

    Abstract: An aerial vehicle includes independently controlled horizontal thrusters and vertical lifters to provide design and operational simplicity while allowing precision flying with six degrees of freedom and use of mounted devices such as tools, sensors, and instruments. Each horizontal thruster and vertical lifter can be mounted as constant-pitch, fixed-axis rotors while still allowing for precise control of yaw, pitch, roll, horizontal movement, and vertical elevation. Gyroscopes and inclinometers can be used to further enhance flying precision. A controller manages thrust applied the horizontal thrusters and vertical lifters to compensate for forces and torques generated by the use of tools and other devices mounted to the aerial vehicle.
