    Abstract: The invention is an unmanned flying helicopter aircraft platform (“aircraft platform”) that can be powered by either interchangeable electric motors or by fuel powered internal combustion engines. The aircraft platform is surrounded by a lightweight exoskeleton cage that protects the rotor blades from coming into contact with external objects. The aircraft platform uses a weight located on the bottom side of the aircraft platform that can be remotely moved to adjust the center of gravity in order to navigate in any direction. The aircraft platform has a place on its bottom side where attachments can be added or removed which allows the aircraft platform to be used for multiple different purposes. The aircraft platform can be flown and operated either remotely using a hand held control unit or it can be flown and operated by an onboard pilot located in the human carrying attachment.

    Abstract: A wind energy generator for employment in the jet stream or other wind conditions is described herein. The craft comprises a “kite” configured with an airfoil and tethered to a ground based power generator. The craft and tether are configured to pull on the tether during a flight pattern calculated to pull on the tether that is connected to the generator to enable power generation. Also, an aerodynamically stable tether configuration is used and can be supplemented with a number of periodically spaced control surfaces arranged at various points along the tether. These control surfaces can be selectively actuated to stabilize and position the tether. The tether can comprise a two-stage tether having an inelastic portion attached to a pool and an elastic portion that connects with the kite. Also, the invention contemplates a system of wind detection devices that identify the local wind variations and through control systems enable the optimal positioning of the kite.

    Abstract: A drive assembly for use with a mechanical flying or walking device comprises an articulated member (7) having first and second portions (7a, 7b) arranged such that the portions move relative to each other, and a drive mechanism (9) for imparting motion to the articulated member. The drive mechanism (9) comprises: a drive member for imparting a cyclic motion on the articulated member, and a control member for controlling, in a predetermined manner, the relative position of the first and second portions during each cycle of the cyclic motion of the articulated member. In the case of a mechanical flying device, two such drive assemblies may be provided, the articulated member of each assembly forming a wing.

    Abstract: An unmanned aircraft of the remotely piloted type that is characterized by its configuration and outline using rigid counter rotating propellers, positioned substantially at the height of its center of mass or slightly below to allow producing a sufficiently large control moment to use a tether line for landing the aircraft and to allow using two substantially spheroidal surfaces at the top and bottom respectively rather than a single one relatively larger and more detectable surface as when the propellers are at the top.

    Abstract: An unmanned aircraft such as a tethered drone has an electrical power connection (10) for receiving electrical power from a remote source, and a power delivery system for delivering electrical power to onboard applications equipment (14) such as radio transmitters (5, 6). To ensure that ground staff are not exposed to high levels of radiation from the transmitters, power is only delivered to the communications equipment after the aircraft has left the ground. A sensor (13) associated with the aircraft's undercarriage may be used to detect when the aircraft is airborne. The applications equipment (14) is powered from an accumulator which is only charged up from the power supply (10) after launch. In the event of a failure of the power supply (10) when airborne, the output of the accumulator is diverted to control propulsion and flight control systems (17), which are normally powered directly from the power supply (10), to allow a controlled descent, and thus shutting off the applications equipment (14) before the aircraft returns to proximity to personnel on the ground.
