VERTICAL TAKE-OFF AND LANDING AIRCRAFT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240300643 titled 'VERTICAL TAKE-OFF AND LANDING AIRCRAFT
The abstract of this patent application describes a system where a plurality of VTOL rotors are divided into groups, with each rotor belonging to a specific group. A controller is able to stop the rotation of each rotor during flight and can cancel this stop control on a group-by-group basis.
- The innovation involves dividing VTOL rotors into groups and controlling their rotation individually.
- The controller can stop the rotation of each rotor during flight for safety or operational purposes.
- The stop control can be canceled sequentially on a group-by-group basis when needed.
- This system allows for more precise control and management of VTOL rotor operations.
- The technology enhances the safety and efficiency of VTOL aircraft during flight.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied to various VTOL aircraft for improved control and safety. - It can be used in drones, air taxis, and other unmanned aerial vehicles for better operational management.
Problems Solved: - Provides a method to stop and restart the rotation of VTOL rotors during flight. - Enhances the overall safety and control of VTOL aircraft operations.
Benefits: - Improved safety and control during VTOL aircraft operations. - Enhanced efficiency and precision in managing rotor operations. - Potential for increased reliability and performance in VTOL systems.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Control System for VTOL Aircraft This technology can be utilized in the development of commercial drones, air taxis, and other VTOL aircraft for improved safety and operational control. It can attract interest from companies involved in aerial transportation and drone technology development.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the controller determine when to stop the rotation of VTOL rotors? 2. What are the potential implications of canceling the stop control on a group-by-group basis?
Original Abstract Submitted
a plurality of vtol rotors are divided into a plurality of groups, and each vtol rotor is included in any one of the groups. a controller can perform stop control for stopping the rotation operation of each vtol rotor during flight, and in a case of canceling the stop control of the plurality of vtol rotors, the controller performs cancellation of the stop control sequentially on a group-by-group basis.
