A dual-engine vehicle combines a propeller and ground traction system with a flexible parafoil wing for versatile transport.
A device for airlifting an object features a frame-like support structure with corresponding upper and lower end regions that engage in a form-fitting manner.
A helicopter rear hatch slides and rotates sideways to clear the loading area, resolving obstruction from conventional hinged doors during stretcher transport.
Rotor units lift fixed-wing aircraft vertically, reducing runway area requirements while preserving cruising speed and range.
Segmenting suspension dynamics into a two-degree-of-freedom equation resolves motion state control precision challenges during amphibious vehicle touchdown.
A clutch arrangement uses a single axially slidable engagement member to transmit torque or lock the propeller shaft.
A firefighting drone uses a detachable landing gear to transition from flight to ground movement inside buildings.
Tandem tiltrotors counterbalance pitching moments during state transitions, resolving the trade-off between stability and flight duration in VTOL applications.
