Canard-Type Aircraft TRIZ Cases
- Ground Effect Flight Vehicle With Rotatable VTOL Cruise Thrust
Rotatable engines and closable wing apertures let this ground effect craft switch from vertical lift to efficient cruise with less complexity.
- Lift-Body Multicopter Transition Without Redundant Thrusters
A lifting-body multicopter shifts from rotor lift to airfoil lift for smoother VTOL transition, lower energy use, and simpler control.
- Convertible Aircraft Rotor Layout for Hover-to-Cruise Transition
Distributed rotors with offset axes and independent thrust control enable stable hovering, forward flight, and safer mode switching.
- Wingtip-Positioned Propellers for Vortex Energy Recovery in VTOL Aircraft
Wingtip motor-generators support VTOL thrust while capturing vortex energy for onboard electric power.
- Tilting Hexrotor Configuration for Cruise Drag Reduction
This case shows how tilting forward, aft, and wing-mounted rotors reduces cruise drag and power needs while preserving hover recovery.
