[0053] DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0054] With reference to the abstract of the preferred embodiment of the new Air Cycling Helicopter and with reference to the drawings, and in particular to fig. 23, thereof, the preferred embodiment, of the newAir Cycling Helicopter, constructed in accordance with principle and concept of the present Invention, generally designed by the reference numerals 1 to 44 will be described.

[0055] The present invention, the new Air Cycling Helicopter, is a system comprised of a plurality of individual components, in their broadest context; such components are housed in segments. The components are individually configured and correlated with respect to each other to attain the desired objectives.

[0056] Essentially and in summary, the present invention, the new Air Cycling Helicopter, as in fig. 1, comprises fuselage, circle 1, skis circle 9, horizontal structure circle 8, vertical cycling structures circle 5, motion transmission mechanism circle 7, twin arm gearbox circle 6, vertical shaft housing circle 4, vertical shaft circle 3 and rotors circle 2.

[0057] To attain this, cycling structures which comprises horizontal structures circle 8 fig. 2 is fabricated and laid on the floor of the plane, where the bolts have already been positioned and fastened with nuts. Vertical structure circle 5 in fig. 3 is fabricated and assembled on horizontal structure circle 8 by way of bolts and nuts. Navigation or steering system in fig. 4 is fabricated and fitted on the vertical structure circle 12, in fig. 3

[0058] A linear wheel circle 20 in fig. 13 is fabricated and fitted on the vertical structure circle 5. To attain this, a flat bar circle 19 in fig. 5 is bend into a circle to form a corrugated rim circle 19 harnessing spokes circle 21 and hub circle 22. An inverted tee bar circle 20 in fig. 6 is rolled into a circle and the joint welded as in fig. 7, then up stand flange is cut into teeth to form a tee bar sprocket circle 20 in fig. 8. A formed solid steel wheel or cut from a thick steel plate and shaped, is fabricated. This three wheels are then assembled together to form a linear wheel as in fig. 12 and 13.

[0059] A primary chain tension bracket circle 24 mounted with tension sprocket circle 25 and return sprocket circle 26 in fig. 14 is fabricated and fitted on the vertical structure circle 5 close to free wheel circle 27. A plate channels circle 29, mounted with tension sprocket circle 25 and return sprocket circle 28 are fabricated and fitted on the arms of the twin arm gearbox circle 6 in fig. 16 and 17. These channels are designed to align and regulate the running of the secondary chain circle 31 in fig. 18 and the running of this chain at a right angle from the return sprocket circle 28 in fig. 18, also create conducive environment to the linear wheel to rotate freely and eliminate cycling friction and maximize its inertia.

[0060] The peddle wheel circle 34, is fixed on vertical structure circle 5. The primary chain circle 35 is then mounted over the peddle wheel circle 34, free wheel circle 27 and primary chain tension bracket circle 24, to transmit cycling motion from peddle wheel circle 34 to linear wheel circle 32. The linear wheel circle 32 then picks the cycling motion from the free wheel circle 27 in fig. 18 and via the secondary chains circle 31, transmit motion to input sprockets circle 30 and into gearbox circle 6.

[0061] The final segment on motion transmission, the twin arm gearbox circle 6 in fig. 20, 21 and 22 is designed with external features to accommodate double cycling motion. The internal components of the twin arm gearbox, have been configured and arranged to increase the speed and convert the horizontal transverse motion to vertical motion and transmit via the vertical shaft circle 3 in fig. 22, more than 1,800 rpm to the rotors,

[0062] A thrust is then produced as in fig. 24 and the present invention, the new Air Cycling Helicopter, in fig. 25, is seen taking off for flight test.
