Description

DescriptionA SYSTEM FOR TRAVERSING THROUGH A FLUIDIC MEDIUMFIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present subject matter relates to, a FTS (fluid traversing system) that comprises one or more craft / s, that work in tandem, in order to couple with and / or assist, other crafts / payloads. Particularly, the system incorporates a craft configuration, namely a SVC (self-vectoring craft), in order to realize the capabilities of the system, as disclosed in the subject matter. More specifically, the system incorporates a DC (detachable coupling means) that is used by each SVC, in order to connect with the other crafts / payloads, such as another SVC, other type of crafts and / or various payloads.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Currently, there are no known crafts or systems, that provide traversing assistance, by detachably coupling with any type of craft and / or payload. Within this domain, crafts offer extremely low efficiency, capacity, agility, stability and endurance, due to their poor designs / configurations, as well as, inadequate structural architectures, in order to, traverse efficiently / effectively through a fluidic medium, as described in the present subject matter.

[0003] Current craft designs and / or architectures, do not allow the crafts to engage and / or disengage with other crafts or payloads, during operation to provide a symbiotic assistance. Also, these architectures do not allow the craft to, accept or provide, assistance externally, in order to lift / transport, a payload that is exceeding, a craft's individual capacity / capability. Furthermore, these architectures do not allow assembly of a plurality of crafts, to form a convoluted system, that has superior capacity / capability than the individual sum of capacity / capability of these crafts. Moreover, current systems are unable to combine / couple to form super-structures, as a whole, that have a comparatively smaller cross-sectional area within the traversing direction, that is an essential aspect of an efficient / effective fluid traversing system. Here, if these craft coupling architectures are harnessed with ingenuity, provides a combination-effect, in order to, increase the overall effective power, capability, capacity, endurance, etc. of the system, as a whole. Regrettably, this kind of architecture / design / configuration has not yet been realized, to our knowledge.

[0004] Further, these current craft designs and architectures, do not allow the system's structure to dynamically change, with respect to the surrounding-fluid and / or obstructional conditions. Furthermore, these crafts do not allow a change in axis / base-plane, of various parts / portions of the craft in response to varying currents of the fluid surrounding it, this results in less manoeuvring performance, more power consumption and higher drag coefficient due to poorly designed structure, that have a combined effect of restricting the craft from traversing at high-speeds and have a stable control of orientation, during such conditions. Moreover, systems having multiple propulsion systems are presently incapable of pivoting / pitching the individual propulsion systems, with respect to each other, in order to stabilize, the whole system, or, even a single component of interest within the system. Finally, within current systems, a plurality of smaller crafts that are capable of, being stowed, or, coupling, within / with a larger craft, but, in these cases, the larger craft is iincapable of utilising the propulsion means of the smaller crafts or vice-versa, in order to, traverse through a fluidic medium. As well as, these systems are unable to provide assistance to each other for lifting / transporting a payload, without an external human intervention, as generally in these circumstances a plurality of cables, harnesses, lines, etc., are utilised by the user to physically bind, these pluralities of crafts together, in such scenarios.

[0005] Furthermore, with regards to current crafts, they are either sent one after other or controlled through ground station when in a large number that consumes more time, results in comparatively higher power consumption and even logistical delays, sometimes. Moreover, a single craft cannot sustain payload-weights, higher than the limit of its maximum specification and hence is unavailable for utilization, for such purposes / scenarios. Additionally, for a current craft to take-off and / or land it needs a runway, wide-open spaces and / or a conventional ATC (Control Tower / Ground Station) to assist the craft in navigating, take-off, landing, taxiing, wharfing, docking and / or other similar operations. Lastly, most crafts do not provide gyroscopic stability for the payload and / or human-dwelling portion of a craft, especially during turbulent scenarios.

[0006] Other prior arts include rotary crafts that have disclosed, the ability to stabilize the craft without the need for counter-rotating propellers incorporating a plurality of blades positioned around a hub / central-axis, wherein the blade-pitch is static. Here, each blade includes turned outer tips, that create a passive stability by generating transverse lift forces to counteract imbalance of vertical lift forces generated by the blades. This helps to maintain the centre of lift on the central axis of the rotors. In addition, because the rotors are pitched transversely to the central axis to provide lift and rotation, the lift generated by the blades is always greater than the lift generated by the rotors.

[0007] Further most of the current crafts have disadvantages / drawbacks, such as but not limited to generating loud noises, extremely high-fuel consumption, heavy propulsion systems, heavier auxiliary systems for the propulsion systems, inability to travel farther than power reserves, mostly ineffective in bad weather scenarios, requiring expansive landing and parking areas when grounded, and many other well-known drawbacks within this domain. Furthermore, these crafts haves, singular propulsion means and / or skewedly disposed heavy parts / components with respect to the fuselage / hull of the crafts. This causes, instability, and / or, increases power consumption for maintaining stable conditions, of the craft. Additionally, some of the current crafts have significantly-poor, safety measures and system architectures, causing them to get damaged or even fail, due to extremepressures, climatic-conditions, high-speed projectiles / objects, etc., during operation. Lastly, most current VTOL crafts during hover manoeuvre, have unstable flight-cruise performance and are incapable of self-vectoring.

[0008] In general, flying disc or saucer-shaped crafts, have significantly lower / less thrust / lift force, speed / velocity and lift-thrust / weight ratios, centre-of-gravity balance and structural integrity. Most disc or saucer-shaped crafts have low performance due to their stability, weight balance, range and their aerodynamic structure.

[0009] The purpose of the present subject matter presented below, is particularly to provide a simple, economic, swift and efficient solution to the problems, to at least partially overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The present subject matter relates to a fluid traversing system (FTS), comprising primarily at least one self-vectoring craft / s, wherein each self-vectoring craft (SVC) has one or more detachable coupling means. Further, each SVC has a plethora of components in order to, sustain independent stable motion through a fluidic medium, establish wired / wireless communications, generate power and has a plurality of detachable coupling means (DC) that are selectively controlled, in order to couple with another SVC, other type of crafts and / or various payloads.

[0011] Each SVC has a plethora of components, that are coupled / enclosed with / within its' fuselage / hull comprising, but not limited to, a detachable coupling means (DC), an internal control unit (ICU), propulsion means, energy / fuel storage units, communication means, sensing means, other related-paraphernalia, and / or, have a plurality of detachable-panels formed in-part by suitable energy-generating cells. The fuselage / hull of the self-vectoring craft has, one or more stowing-region / s for storing the detachable coupling means, a plurality of detachable-panels formed by suitable energy-generating cells, and, one or more receiving means for receiving a detachable coupling means, wherein, the receiving means is capable of, selective displacement / rotation / pitching with respect to the fuselage / hull of the self-vectoring craft, and / or, the receiving means allows for selective control / management of the articulation, operations and / or other functions, of the detachable coupling means coupled to the self-vectoring craft. The fuselage / hull is further capable of utilising said detachable coupling means as, a landing-gear, or, a docking-gear.

[0012] In some embodiments of the FTS, the DC allows pivoting movement and bidirectional linear movement of each SVC, with respect to each of said another SVC, other type of crafts and / or various payloads. Further, the DC is capable of varying each SVC's base-plane and / or selectively modifying the entire system's geometric-structure. Furthermore, the DC has one or more rotary means, for selectively allowing relative rotary motion between, two extreme ends of each said DC. Moreover, the DC has one or more linear extension means, for selectively allowing relative linear motion between, two extreme ends of each said DC. Additionally, the DC has one or more articulating means, for selectively varying the structural-orientation of the DC. Lastly, in some embodiments the SVC's hull / fuselage has stowing region for storing the DC, when not in use.

[0013] In some embodiments of the FTS, the DC is capable of transferring electric power and / or establishing a wired communication network. Further, the DC allows for transfer of objects / materials, such as fuel, goods, packages, payloads and / or pax / personnel. Furthermore, the DC functions as a landing / docking gear, in other embodiments. Moreover, each DC is capable of coupling / decoupling with respect to another SVC, other type of crafts and / or payloads. Additionally, each SVC's hull / fuselage has a receiving means, for receiving the DC of another SVC, other type of crafts and / or payloads.

[0014] In some embodiments of the FTS, the propulsion means of the SVC, comprises various hybrid combinations of known propulsion sub-systems, such as, engines, jets, propellers, electro-magnetic / pneumatic / hydraulic systems, etc. Particularly, in some of these embodiments, the propulsion means, further includes a plurality of rotors and / or stators, wherein the SVC selectively pivots / displace / halts / rotates each rotor, with respect to another rotor / stator, concordantly or contrarily. Further, each rotor or stator, has a pluralityof blades, wherein each blade is selectively pivotable / articulated, with respect to the other blades, and these blades have any suitable combination of specific fluid-dynamic profiles. Furthermore, the rotors / stators are pivoted / articulated with respect to the fuselage / hull of the SVC.

[0015] In some embodiments of the FTS, each of the SVC within the system, couples to another SVC, other type of crafts and / or payloads, in a suitable orientation such as, perpendicular, oblique, parallel-centered, parallel-offset, adjacent, chain / link, unpricountable, any other combinations of these orientations, or, even morph orientations in real-time. Further, the system is capable of morphing its structure, to form any of the above-mentioned suitable orientations interchangeably during operation, if required.

[0016] In some embodiments of the FTS, each SVC has an ICU, wherein the ICU utilizes, Al- based algorithms and a private / secure swarm-network, to selectively control / manage the various components of each SVC. Further, the ICU establishes communications, with one or more ICU disposed within other craft / payload and / or a primary-command-terminal (PCT), in order to form a hybrid private-secure swarm-network architecture and / or forms a prime commander unit. Furthermore, in some embodiments of the FTS, the ICU controls / manages the operational / functional protocols of the various components within the system such as, pivoting / pitching motion, rotary / rotation / partial-revolution / turning motion, bi-directional linear motion, articulating motion, geospatial orientation, power transmission, wired communication, material transfer, coupling / decoupling, stowing / unstowing and / or landing / docking.Advantages and utility of the present invention

[0017] The FTS as disclosed in the present subject matter, attains higher efficiency / efficacy, ultra-high-speed countering / stabilisation, hyper-endurance and swarm-based communication between multiple crafts, compared to currently known, systems and / or crafts, within the art.

[0018] The present invention discloses a FTS that utilizes, Al-based algorithms and a private / secure swarm-network, wherein each SVC, identifies and communicates with other crafts / payloads within the system, in order to, couple, decouple or vary the coupling orientation, with respect to the another craft / payload. Due to this, the crafts / payloads within the system have a clear perspective of their surroundings, by obtaining sensor / video / mapping data / information, from other crafts / payloads within the system. Further due to this, maintaining a centralised control of the system, is made easier, by integrating cloud-based architecture for the communication-network, formed between a user / prime-command-terminal and the various crafts / payloads. This allows various crafts / payloads, that are located outside the range of the user / prime-command-terminal, to be able to remain in communication with the assistance of the private-swarm network formed by the various crafts / payloads (that are in range of each other), in order to relay commands, mandates / missions, data, information, controls, etc. in real-time. Furthermore, the crafts / payloads are able to parse their individual input-feed of an event / object-of- interest in real-time, while obtaining the input-feed from multiple angles / perspectives, making it possible to even generate a 3D-map of the event / object-of-interests. Moreover, the FTS comprises crafts that measure / detect weather / climate patterns in real-time, and then warn other crafts / payloads, about impending dangers headed their way, if any. Unlikedistributed-robotic systems in general, swarm-robotics, emphasizes on a large number of entities, and promotes their scalability, by using only local communications in certain instances where real-time decisions are to be made. This local communication for example is achieved by wireless transmission systems, like radio / lnfrared / micro-wave frequency, lasers, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Li-Fi, LoRa, NB-loT, Sigfox, GSM, 5G, 4G, 3G, 2G, other known wireless communications that form wide / local area networks, ground-relay terminals, wired / hard-line transmissions, or other known local communication technologies, per the requirement, as known within the art.

[0019] Since, the FTS is formed by a plurality of crafts, wherein some of the crafts have nonflying, non-diving, low-endurance configurations / specifications, that are deployed by the fluid traversing system, for certain tasks / missions / objectives / mandates, and later recovered back by the system, after the completion of their individual tasks / missions / objectives / operations. These low-endurance crafts are hence, are enabled in finishing their objectives / operations, without any human intervention in deployment / logistics / data-retrieval. This kind of architecture of the FTS, allows for a modular physical structure, that enables coupling / de-coupling of, constructional / operational / scouting / data-collection modules, tools, probes and / or other equipment, to the various crafts / payloads, as desired by a user, per a requirement / desire enabling seamless integration within the system. Lastly, the FTS includes energy generating panels, that generate auxiliary power for the crafts within the system. In cases, when the accumulation of this generated energy exceeds the surplus quantity, then each of the individual craft is capable of sharing this surplus energy with other crafts, payloads and / or the grid. Finally, as will be apparent from the present subject matter, the FTS disclosed here, in certain instances performs as an auxiliary assistive system, with respect to, the current systems / methods utilised in many of the various industries, such as, aviation / space industry, marine / naval industry, archaeological industry, surveillance / legal / defence industry, agricultural / farming / herding industry, transportation industry, traffic-control industry, construction industry, maintenance / service industry, survey industry, entertainment industry, educational industry, pest-control industry, disaster-management industry, manufacturing / fabrication industry, refining / mining industry, quality-check / safety industry, earth-moving industry, scavenging industry, fishing industry, debris-clearing (oceanic, rivers / lakes and / or orbital / sub-orbital) industry, hazardous-activity industry, etc., as is known within these arts. Ultimately, in the present invention, the FTS do not require a runway or a hanger or any other kind of craft storing-infrastructure that occupies space / useable land, as the SVC within the FTS, are capable of VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) and even stack one-upon-the-other in a vertical fashion, when not in operation, or, during re-fuelling / re-charging, etc. scenarios.

[0020] Most importantly, this structural configuration of selective operations adds an advantage to this system, wherein the various components of the system are controlled / dictated / directed / manipulated / articulated selectively with respect to one another, that provides, a greater degree of control, as well as, a multitude of efficient and stable configurations to be achieved. In other words, this feature essentially reduces the reaction time and overall power consumption of the system. Most importantly this helps establish an extensively stable, flexible and reliable, operating design-architecture for thistype of system, when traversing through a fluidic medium. This Al-based technology will help in reducing transportation / logistical delays and reduce fuel / power consumptions, that are the problems that plague these industries today. This Al-based technology would also reduce ground station control when multiple crafts are in mission and let the crafts finish the mission or reach the destination through the command that has been built-in. This additionally implies that, the authorised operator / user has complete secure-access to each component, as well as, the real-time data / information, within the system from any mobile location.

[0021] The SVC as disclosed within the present subject matter, has an engineered-fluid- dynamic design / structure, that provides it with comparatively more thrust / lift force, resulting in better performance of the craft. Each SVC is self-sufficient, that means that each craft is capable of independent missions and is able to assist other crafts and / or payloads that are, nearby, at low-power, and / or, require assistance in transporting a payload (that is heavier than their individual capability / capacity), during operation. Further, each SVC is capable of maintaining stable-hover, resist / fight the climatic conditions and sustain itself in high pressure conditions, due to its efficient / effective geometric, design and / or structural- architecture, as well as, the ICU generated state-of-the-art, manoeuvring algorithms. Many possible avocations would make it desirable to deploy a SVC, that solely relies on itself and symbiotically operates alongside other crafts, to ensure swifter / easier control of missions / operations and / or surveillance. Furthermore, this SVC, remains aloft for long periods of time during operation, achieves extremely high-speed manoeuvring, generates very little noise, capable of flying at very high / low altitude / depth, maximizes payload capacity and conveniently assists other crafts / payloads, during operation, compared to other known crafts within the art. Similarly, each SVC has an ICU (internal control unit) that allows the plurality of rotors and / or stators to selectively choose parameters of rotation, counter-rotation, pivoting and / or cease-movement / lock-in place / halt / stop. This type of rotary propulsion means of the SVC, provides propulsive-force to the craft at a significantly higher speeds / velocities, compared to currently known crafts within the art. Moreover, each SVC fuselage / hull has active / actuated portions, enabling many of the components of the SVC, to be coupled / de-coupled, pivoted / pitched, displaced / moved, rotated / revolved, stowed / unstowed, bent / articulated, if required. Due to this each SVC enables it to have extreme precision, as well as, provides extensive control over all the components during any kind of problematic situations / mishaps / scenarios, when conducting / performing their individual mandates / missions / tasks / objectives, as directed / dictated. This also allows for an effective ability to control, the noise / vibration of the craft, other coupled objects and / or their combined effect, in order to, mitigate any issues that may arise due to these scenarios. Further, the blades of each of the rotors and / or stators selectively pitch with respect to the other blades, and further have articulated components, allowing the blades to be utilised as legs, crawlers, limbs, paddles, fins, wings., etc., as is known within the art. This structural configuration of selective pitching / articulation adds an advantage to the SVC, wherein the various blades, rotors, other components and / or the various crafts coupled, are selectively operated / articulated / pitched / pivoted / rotated / displaced, with respect to the other blades, rotors, other components and / or the various crafts, this helps in saving / reducing time, power / energy consumed, and, processing required, as well as, helps maintain a stableperformance during operations. The noise reduction caused in these craft / s is restricted / mitigated by having sufficient spacing between, each component of the propulsion means with respect to the other components of the propulsion means, and maintain these sufficient clearances within the entire geometric structure of the FTS, as disclosed within the present subject matter. Further, the plurality of components of the propulsion means are arranged / disposed in a strategic way, so as to provide overall centre- of-gravity balancing of the crafts, that makes the SVCs particularly effective in terms of, efficient lift-generation and / or precision-manoeuvring, of the crafts. Additionally, hybrid propulsion means are employed in some embodiments for the operation of the craft, that helps in reducing overall power consumption and increases effective performance of the SVC, that accounts for the overall power efficiency and high endurance, as disclosed in the present subject matter.

[0022] The DC helps in pivoting of each craft's axis / base-plane with respect to the other crafts / payloads, in order to vary, the suitable orientations of the FTS as required, enabling an extremely high degree-of-freedom for the whole system. The DC is capable of controlling the yaw, pitch and / or roll dynamics, of each component and / or even effect that of the whole system, this allows for very minute / low-power adjustments by the system, to vary the suitable orientations, or, to stabilise itself. The DC helps vary the linear distance of each SVC with respect to the other crafts / payloads, to enable a pivoting / pitching, rotation / partial-revolution / turning and / or bi-directional linear moment between them, this provides a simple / quick articulation-method, in order to, maintain the stability and levelflight conditions by the system, at all times during the operation. The DC is capable of bending / flexing / twisting / articulation, that allows for even more variations of the suitable orientations of the FTS, as required. This bending / flexing / twisting / articulation further helps, in varying the axis / base-plane of each SVC with respect to the other crafts / payloads, as required. The detachable coupling and the sufficient clearance between the components, in the present subject matter, further helps in noise reduction, that is a major disadvantage of currently known VTOL crafts.

[0023] For purposes of summarizing the invention and the advantages achieved over the prior art, certain objects and advantages of the invention have been described above. Of course, it is to be understood that not necessarily all such objects or advantages may be achieved in accordance with any one particular embodiment of the invention. Thus, for example, those skilled in the art will recognize that each embodiment of the invention, may be embodied or carried out, in a manner that achieves or optimizes, one advantage or a group of advantages.

[0024] Nevertheless, there is always a need of new and novel systems that are self- sufficient as well as, symbiotically assist other crafts / payloads. Such crafts help in completing the various operations swiftly and with lower power consumption.

These plurality of rotors / stators have a contact-less powering arrangement with respect to the fuselage / hull of the SVC in order to reduce wear, this has other benefits due to that the SVC have the capability to pivot / pitch, at least one rotor / stator with respect to another rotor / stator, coupled within the fuselage / hull. It is important to note here, that in any of the embodiments of the SVC as disclosed within the subject matter, each rotor is halted completely, or locked in place, in order for the rotor to act as a stator, if desired. Furthermore, in any of the embodiments, the SVC has one rotor / stator. Also, in any other embodiments provided in the subject matter, the SVC has two or more rotors / stators, wherein one or more rotors is able to act as a stator. Moreover, in some other embodiments, the SVC has two rotors wherein one rotor is halted in order for it to perform as a stator, alternatively in further other embodiments, the SVC has one rotor and one stator. Additionally, in some embodiments, the SVC has three rotors wherein all the rotors are rotational, wherein any one rotor is halted, in order for it to perform as a stator, alternatively in further other embodiments, the SVC has two rotors and one stator. Lastly, it should be noted that, in any of the embodiments of the present subject matter, it is obvious for a person of ordinary skill within the art to envisage, a more convoluted and / or amalgamated arrangement / configuration of the rotors / stators, by applying the above disclosed methodology to design / configure various configurations / architectures that are not disclosed in the present subject matter, specifically created / designed / fabricated for high-efficiency and / or that use significantly less-power, to deliver the same amount ofthrust / lift and / or manoeuvre (force), as opposed to a poor design / configuration of these set of rotors / stators, as is known within the art. Finally, in any of the embodiments in the present subject matter, the term "selectively halts / rotates" refers particularly to the selective control of each Rotor that is, halted, or, rotated at a desired speed, with respect to the other rotor / s and / or stator / s, in order to optimize performance / efficiency and / or decrease power consumption, of the craft during operation.

Both, concordat and contrary rotation, have their individual benefits and drawbacks, depending upon many factors, as known within the art. It should be noted that, in any of the embodiments, each SVC has a plurality of pivotable rotors / stators, wherein each rotor / stator is capable of selectively pivoting with respect to the other rotors / stators and / or the fuselage / hull of the SVC (not illustrated).

[0080] Throughout the present subject matter, the term "blades" refers to, a set of components pivotably coupled with respect to each rotor / stator, within the FTS.

These blades have many known applications in aeronautical, robotics and marine industries. In crafts, the lift / thrust is the force that opposes the weight / drag of the craft (gravitational force, inertial / resistive force, etc.) as well as allows the craft to be mobile, by physically generating forward motion of the craft, in the desired direction of travel. An aerofoil, wing, or rotor blade are components, that take air as the fluidic medium and generate lift / thrust, while similarly hydrofoils, take liquids as the fluidic medium. When the fluid passes over the blades, it is forced to split between an above portion and a below portion of the blade's profile. The curved surface and the angle-of-attack of these blades, increases the amount of flow under the blade compared to above the blade, that flow is then displaced downwards, due to this the craft propels in an opposite direction, creating lift, as per Newton's Third Law of motion. This means that there is a stronger countering-force acts on each blade, compared to the gravitational / inertial / resistive force, that allows the craft to rise and / or push-off in a desired direction. Further, in any of the embodiments of the present subject matter, each blade is pivotable with respect to the rotor / stator body and / or the other blades (adjacent or otherwise), so as to provide extremely precise control of, the direction of exit-flow of the fluid, or, the lift / thrust force produced by each blade, that allows for the craft to manoeuvre, in the desired direction with extreme precision and prejudice.

Lastly, according to any of the embodiments of the subject matter, the receiving means is capable of, selective displacement / rotation / pitching, with respect to, an exterior surface of the fuselage / hull of the self-vectoring craft. Here, it is evident for any person of ordinary skill in the art, to envisage that, the receiving means is also a component, of the various other type of crafts and / or various payloads, that are capable of interacting / coupling with at least one SVC, in order to form the diverse and prudent embodiments of the fluid traversing system, as disclosed in the present subject matter.

[0082] Throughout the present subject matter, the term "detachable-panels" refers to, exterior panels that are detachably attached to the fuselage / hull of the crafts.

The ICU directs / dictates each of the various components of each SVC in order to, selectively couple, pivot / pitch and / or rotate them, with respect to one another, or, an external object, as disclosed in the various embodiments of the present subject matter. Further, in any of the embodiments of the FTS, a plurality of SVCs couple with respect to each other and / or with other crafts / payloads, wherein the ICUs, of any arbitrary set of these coupled crafts are designated as the prime commander unit, and here the designation ranges from, only a single ICU, to, all the ICUs being designated. Further, each prime commander unit designated ICU, ascertains that each SVC, other crafts and / or payloads under its command, perform, navigate, traverse, operate, sense, stabilize, avoid-obstacles, maintain dictated altitudes / depths, and utilize the resources, in the most optimum way possible to fulfil each of their individual mandates / missions, as directed by a PCT. Furthermore, one or more ICU, swap designation of prime commander unit, with each other seamlessly, as per requirement in order to provide optimum control / direction, to all the various components of the system, at all times. Moreover, each ICU, utilizes artificial intelligence-based algorithms / programs / network-architectures such as, machine learning, reinforced-machine learning, convolutional neural networks, etc., as well as, forms a private-secure wired / wireless swarm-network, with the prime control terminal and all the other ICUs (of other crafts / payloads) within range. This allows each of the plurality of SVC, to be able to identify and communicate, with other SCVs, other type of crafts and / or payloads within the swarm network, in order to, couple or detach with respect to each of them in a suitable orientation, as well as, to send / receive signals, information, updates, commands, data, directives, etc. between them. This swarm network formed between the various crafts and / or payloads, allows for automated decisions and seamless collaboration with regards to, the coupling angles, coupling directions, coupling velocity-matching, as well as, the precise coupling location on each fuselage / hull of the various crafts. This swarmnetwork is capable of communicating with a prime-command terminal, in order to transmit / receive signals, commands, data, information, etc., as in known within the art. Additionally, each SVC has an ICU (internal control unit) that manages the plurality of rotor and / or stator, to selectively control the plurality of the rotors between a rotating (including a speed of rotation) or stationary state. Also, the blades of each of the rotors and / or stators are selectively controlled by the ICU in order to individually pitch / pivot each of the blades, with respect to the other blades. This structural configuration of selective pitching adds an advantage to the system, where the blades, rotors and / or the crafts selectively coupledtogether, controllably pivot / pitch with respect to the other blades, rotors and / or crafts / payloads, that provides a greater degree of control, as well as, a multitude of efficient and stable configurations, are easily achieved.

These base-terminals further, perform as landing, docking, porting, loading / unloading, maintenance, physical OS- updating / debugging, charging / re-charging, or even as vehicle-to-grid, station / s for the various crafts / payloads. Moreover, due to this kind of architecture, the PCT performs as a traffic separation agent, by ensuring each craft / payload maintains missions, mandates, trajectories, flight-paths, altitudes, speeds, etc., during operations, in order to prevent collisions / accidents, as well as, to maintain optimum engagements between the various crafts and / or payloads. Additionally, in some embodiments, the PCT receives imaging / sensing data in real-time from each SVC, in order to ascertain the precise operative conditions around the vicinity of each SVC, eliminating the need for a conventional ground-based air-traffic controllers, by providing a globally distributed yet locally precise networks / architectures, hence maintaining its unitary nature.
