    Abstract: A vehicle refueling system includes an aero vehicle and a fuel bladder system. The fuel bladder system includes a fuel bladder, a pickup loop of a predetermined loop size, a reel mechanism to retract at least one side of the pickup loop to reduce the loop size, a snag sensor to sense when the pickup loop has been hooked by the retractable hook, the snag sensor initiating the reel mechanism, a compass to sense the random orientation of the loop, a radio navigation receiver to sense a location of the loop, and a transmitter to transmit the random orientation and the location. The vehicle includes a fuselage, a retractable hook with a hook sensor to detect when a fuel bladder is hooked and the loop size has been reduced by the reel mechanism, a fuel bladder stowage chamber within the fuselage, a fuel intake tube capable of drawing fuel from the fuel bladder stowed in the stowage chamber, a retraction mechanism to retract the retractable hook, a fuel transfer mechanism to transfer fuel from the fuel bladder into an internal fuel tank, and a fuel bladder discard mechanism to discard the fuel bladder after the fuel has been drawn from the fuel bladder.

    Abstract: It works like a helicopter in vertical flight or like an airplane in horizontal flight, being able to land accurately on a small area. It is equipped with a rotor, a couple of wings fitted with ailerons and other control surfaces actuated differentially, with support wheels at their ends. It has a vertical stabilizer at the end of which there is a wheel. It has a horizontal stabilizer with elevators that are actuated simultaneously or differentially. It incorporates a propeller ahead of the rotor.

    Abstract: A tail sitter airplane will take off and land on its tail section, with its fuselage and nose pointed up. The airplane has a single driven propeller mounted to the nose section. Wings extend outward from the fuselage. Four airfoils locate in the tail section, two horizontal and two vertical. Each has a control surface. Four additional airfoils locate in a forward section, behind the propeller and in front of the wings. Two of the airfoils in the forward section are horizontal and two vertical. Movable control surfaces on these airfoils control the flight during takeoff and landing. The airfoils have chord lengths selected to remove the twist from the slip-stream from the propeller, thereby balancing the torque from the propeller.

    Abstract: A vertical take-off and landing aircraft is configured so as to provide, when landing tail-first with its fuselage (1) in a generally vertical attitude, a touchdown area (21) at the tail of the aircraft at a position offset from a line extending along the length of the fuselage through the centre of gravity (23) of the aircraft such that after the touchdown area contacts a landing surface the aircraft topples under the action of gravity to bring an undercarriage (11, 13) of the aircraft into contact with the landing surface, thereby to attain a stable landed position.
