    Abstract: A fixed wing flight vehicle has wing, a center-mounted propulsion unit and a pod that is moveable between a center of the wing and a displaced position at or near one end of the wing. When the pod is at or near the center of the wing, that is, having a center of mass at or near a thrust vector of the propulsion unit, the flight vehicle flies with the characteristics of a regular fixed wing aircraft. However, when the pod is translated to the position at or near an end of the wing, an overall center of mass of the flight vehicle is substantially offset from the thrust vector of the propulsion unit. This causes the flight vehicle to spin like a samara, e.g., a maple seed, so that the flight vehicle can take off or land in a very limited space, much like a helicopter.

    Abstract: A flight-operable, truly modular aircraft has an aircraft core to which one or more of outer wings members, fuselage, cockpit, leading and trailing edge couplings, and empennage and tail sections can be removably coupled and/or replaced during the operating life span of the aircraft. In preferred embodiments the aircraft core houses the propulsive engines, avionics, at least 80% of the fuel, and all of the landing gear. The aircraft core is preferably constructed with curved forward and aft composite spars, that transfer loads across the center section, while accommodating a mid-wing configuration. The aircraft core preferably has a large central cavity dimensioned to interchangeably carry an ordnance launcher, a surveillance payload, electronic countermeasures, and other types of cargo. Contemplated aircraft can be quite large, for example having a wing span of at least 80 ft.

    Abstract: An aircraft having a vertical take-off and landing (“VTOL”) propulsion system aircraft, smaller than a standard manned aircraft and remotely or autonomously piloted. The aircraft comprises a symmetrical airfoil shape for the center body section that consists of ribs and spars maintaining an open area in the center. Situated within the open area of the center of the aircraft resides a duct system consisting of a ducted fan and five outlet vents. The main outlet vent functions as the exhaust exiting the aft portion of the aircraft, with the remaining four ducts used for the VTOL capabilities exiting the underside of the aircraft. The aircraft can have a range of wingspan, which can be scaled to satisfy needs and requirements, with a blended wing body that incorporates the inlet and duct system.

    Abstract: A single wing for an unmanned aircraft adapted for image acquisition, surveillance or other applications consists of a ribbed frame and a foam wherein the ribbed frame is integrated during molding for stiffness and strength. The foam has a container for holding the electric and/or electronic components. The foam constitutes the outer layer of the unmanned aircraft at impact side. The wing can be produced at low cost and low complexity in large volumes, increases the impact resistance and safety when used in civil areas, and is removable and disposable thereby enabling reuse of the electric and/or electronic components.
