A gearbox, rotor, stator coil, and magnetic clutch harvest energy from flap and slat deceleration for battery storage or actuation.
Flight-phase power planning coordinates turbogenerators and batteries to cut fuel use.
Silver-particle TPU ink replaces etched heating elements with flexible, fatigue-resistant traces for rotor blades and wings.
This case uses a movable wingtip electrical connection between two airplanes to share battery power, increase wingspan, and limit vibration.
This case uses a tilting fuselage with stationary wings and propellers to simplify VTOL-to-cruise transition and reduce complexity.
