Abstract:
A rotary wing vehicle (1) includes a body structure having an elongated tubular backbone or core (40), and a counter-rotating coaxial rotor system (3, 5) having rotors with each rotor having a separate motor (54, 61) to drive the rotors about a common rotor axis of rotation (7), The rotor system is used to move the rotary wing vehicle (1) in directional flight.
Abstract:
The embodiments herein disclose a personal UAV kit for storing, preparing and remote control of micro UAVs. The UAV kit includes a base unit, a control unit and at least one UAV. The UAVs can typically be a winged aircraft with foldable wings or a helicopter with a two-bladed or foldable rotor. The base unit comprises UAV compartments for housing at least one UAV, a bay for storing the control unit, batteries and electronic components for charging, communication, control and processing and storing of data. In addition, the system includes an eye near display device for viewing system information and sensor data, typically live video, transmitted from the UAV.
Abstract:
A method for landing a fixed wing aircraft is provided in which an inversion maneuver is performed so that the aircraft's back is facing the ground, and the aircraft's underside is facing away from the ground. After initiation or completion of this maneuver, deep stall is induced, and the aircraft descends almost vertically to land on its upper side, thus minimizing impact loads or damage on its underside. In a particular aerodynamic arrangement configured for carrying out the method, a flap (24), which may be stowed during normal flight, is deployed in a manner such as to aerodynamically induce a negative pitching moment on the aircraft and deep stall.
Abstract:
Es wird ein Kleinflugkörper mit einem Rumpf (Airframe), Mitteln zur Steuerung und einem Antrieb vorgeschlagen, bei dem im Rumpf ein Propeller-Elektroantrieb, eine Energieversorgung, eine TV-Kamera, eine Datenübertragungs- und Lenkelektronik sowie ein Gefechtskopf bzw. ein Wirksystem integriert und am Rumpf klapp-bzw. faltbare Flügel, Ruder und Propeller angeordnet sind. Der Kleinflugkörper kann für die Bekämpfung unterschiedlicher Ziele oder für unterschiedliche Missionen mit verschiedenen Wirksystemen bestückt werden.
