Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for generating aerodynamic lift and in particular an aircraft (100) for vertical take-off and landing. A wing arrangement (110) comprises at least one propulsion unit (111), wherein the propulsion unit (111) comprises a rotating mass which is rotatable around a rotary axis (117). The wing arrangement (110) is mounted to a fuselage (101) such that the wing arrangement (110) is tiltable around a longitudinal wing axis (112) of the wing arrangement (110) and such that the wing arrangement (110) is rotatable with respect to the fuselage (101) around a further rotary axis that differs to the longitudinal wing axis (112). An adjusting mechanism adjusts a tilting angle of the wing arrangement (110) around the longitudinal wing axis (112) under influence of a precession force (Fp) which forces the wing arrangement (110) to tilt around the longitudinal wing axis (112).

Abstract: An air vehicle can be folded into or unfolded from a compact tubular storage container without assembly or disassembly of the air vehicle. The air vehicle includes a fuselage, two aerodynamic surfaces rotatably mounted on the fuselage along a common axis with at least one pivot mechanism, and at least one spring mechanism configured to deploy the aerodynamic surfaces so they extend outwardly from the body. In a stowed configuration, both aerodynamic surfaces are parallel to the fuselage for stowage of the aircraft in a container. Each aerodynamic surface has a winglet located at an outer edge of the tail portion of the aerodynamic surface, and a rudder on each winglet. The aircraft does not require a vertical stabilizer or rudder system on the fuselage. An outer backward-swept wing portion can be unfolded from the outer edge of each aerodynamic surface to increase the wing aspect ratio.

Abstract: A foldable wing for use with a very high altitude aircraft capable of operating at an altitude at or above 85,000 feet is disclosed. The foldable wing may employ a spiral fold deployment, wherein a hinge between each segment of the foldable wing is slightly offset from the perpendicular. Successively positioned wing segments fold over one another. Alternatively, the hinges are substantially perpendicular so that each respective wing segment folds linearly against the next wing segment. An inflatable rib, with inflatable arms, can be inflated to provide a force against two adjacent arms, thereby deploying the wing segments through a full 180° of rotation.
