Abstract
A rotor wing aircraft with a propulsion apparatus is disclosed. The aircraft has a rotating mast configured to rotate the rotor wing and the propulsion apparatus includes a pole mechanically connectable to the rotating mast of the aircraft. An electric turbine is placed at one of the ends of the pole, powered by a battery, and configured to rotate the pole around an axis of the rotating mast in such a way that the rotation of the pole can be used to rotate the rotor wing. The pole is made of carbon fiber.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A tailless rotor wing aircraft capable of vertical take off, comprising:
a rotor wing; a rotating mast configured to rotate said rotor wing; a collective swash plate and oscillating system connected to said rotor wing; and a propulsion apparatus including a pole mechanically connected to said rotating mast at a point of attachment placed above said collective swash plate and oscillating system, said pole being shaped in such a way as to avoid creating lift when put into rotation, wherein at ends of said pole are disposed electric turbines powered by a battery and configured to rotate said pole around an axis of said rotating mast in such a way that the rotation of said pole rotates said rotor wing, and the rotation of said pole takes place in a different plane with respect to the plane of rotation of said rotor wing.
2 . The tailless rotor wing aircraft as in claim 1 , further comprising a second electric turbine disposed at an end of the pole opposite said first electric turbine, said second electric turbine being positioned in such a way as to generate a rotation torque to rotate said pole with said first electric turbine.
3 . The tailless rotor wing aircraft as in claim 1 , wherein said pole is internally hollow to allow passage of electrical conductors to said electric turbine.
4 . The tailless rotor wing aircraft as in claim 1 , wherein said pole is mechanically connected to said rotating mast in an integral fashion by a rigid joint.
5 . The tailless rotor wing aircraft as in claim 1 , wherein said pole is made of carbon fiber.
6 . The tailless rotor wing aircraft as in claim 1 , further comprising two electric fans that are controlled by use of pedals to allow a rotation of said rotor wing aircraft up to 360° on the yaw axis.
7 . The tailless rotor wing aircraft as in claim 1 , further comprising at least one of a small drift or a small electric motor with blades.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
