187 results about "Quadcopter" patented technology

A quadcopter, also called a quadrotor helicopter or quadrotor, is a multirotor helicopter that is lifted and propelled by four rotors. Quadcopters are classified as rotorcraft, as opposed to fixed-wing aircraft, because their lift is generated by a set of rotors (vertically oriented propellers).

Quadcopter combined autorotating rotor vertical takeoff and landing variant aircraft and control method

Invention Title: A Quadrotor-Autorotor Combined with a Vertical Take-Off and Landing Variant Aircraft and Control Method This specification discloses a quadrotor-autorotor combined with a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) variant aircraft and its control method, belonging to the field of aircraft technology. The aircraft includes: a power system, a flight control system, a quadrotor system, an autorotor system, and a variator system. The power system provides power to the aircraft; the flight control system is responsible for regulating the parameters of the quadrotor system and the variator system; the quadrotor system provides lift when the aircraft is in a stable state (VTOL or hovering), and provides forward and steering power when the aircraft is in cruise mode; the autorotor system provides lift when the aircraft is in cruise mode; the variator system rotates the quadrotor variator spindle via a driver, thereby rotating the quadrotor motors' planar angle. Combined with the flight control system's regulation of the quadrotor motor's planar angle and the speed of the four motors, a reasonable distribution of horizontal and vertical forces is achieved, enabling a smooth transition between stable and cruise states. Compared to traditional autogyros, this aircraft can take off and land vertically and hover. Its control is simple and efficient. Compared to traditional quadcopters, it is more energy-efficient and safer. This invention combines the advantages of both quadcopters and autogyros, resulting in an economical, easy-to-handle, safe, and reliable vertical takeoff and landing flight platform.
