    Abstract: A flying vehicle with a fuselage having a longitudinal axis, a cockpit extending substantially from the center of the fuselage, a left front wing extending from the fuselage, a right front wing extending from the fuselage, a left rear wing extending from the fuselage, a right rear wing extending from the fuselage. Each wing contains a rotor rotatably mounted and a direct drive brushless motor providing directional control of the vehicle. A centrally located ducted fan encompasses the cockpit and provides VTOL capabilities. The central location of the cockpit and central ducted fan aid in balance and stability. The central ducted fan is itself a brushless motor with the stator windings encapsulated in the ducted fan housing and rotor magnets within the fan. All motors and rotatable mounts are controlled by a fly-by-wire system integrated into a central computer with avionics allowing for autonomous flight.

    Abstract: An apparatus for providing a balance to objects attached to the apparatus. The apparatus comprises an annular body, drive assemblies, two hoops, and a harness. The annular body is placed around an object. Each drive assembly comprises a primary sheave radially and rotatably disposed on the annular body, a first secondary sheave rotatably disposed on the annular body above the primary sheave, a second secondary sheave rotatably disposed on the annular body below the primary sheave, and a motor for rotating the primary sheave. The two hoops comprise a first hoop rotatably supported between the primary sheave and the first secondary sheave and a second hoop rotatably supported between the primary sheave and the second secondary sheave. Rotating the primary sheave rotates the first hoop in a first direction and the second hoop in a second direction for generating the balance. The harness attaches the apparatus to the object.

    Abstract: An apparatus for facilitating propulsion of a vehicle. The apparatus comprises a housing with an interior space, an inlet, and an outlet, a propulsion mechanism, and a gimbal. The propulsion mechanism is disposed in the interior space and comprises and an upper rotor and a lower rotor rotatably mounted on a first portion and a second portion of a spindle. The upper rotor rotates in a first direction and the lower rotor rotates in a second direction opposite to the first direction. Upper rotor blades have a first blade pitch and lower rotor blades have a second blade pitch opposite to the first blade pitch. The rotating of the upper rotor and the lower rotor creates a fluid flow from the inlet to the outlet for generating a directional thrust. The gimbal rotatably attaches the propulsion mechanism to the housing. The housing is rotatable for vectoring the directional thrust.
