Switchable battery connections balance charging efficiency and motor power demand while isolating failed packs to keep the vehicle operating.
Adjustable hydrofoil lift counters wing lift during takeoff, keeping the foil submerged for stable seaglider transition in rough seas.
Coordinated front and rear hydrofoil deployment manages lift through water-air transition, improving takeoff stability and landing comfort.
A retractable wing and propulsion layout uses drone-type control and buoyancy support to enable compact VTOL operation on land and water.
Quick-release thrusters mounted on water rudders add wireless low-speed control, braking, and reverse thrust for safer seaplane docking.
Retractable hydrofoils counter wing lift during acceleration, keeping a WIG craft submerged for smoother takeoff in waves and harbors.
By holding the craft partially submerged with negative hydrofoil lift, this case avoids premature takeoff and stall until wing lift is sufficient.
Sequentially deploying main floats before ditching and secondary floats after impact reduces airframe loads, puncture risk, and water penetration.
Multiple rotors, independent quick-swap batteries, and ballistic recovery improve ultralight aircraft safety without excessive weight.
Sequential main-float and secondary-float deployment improves ditching stability while reducing impact depth, puncture risk, and airframe loads.
A float-mounted secondary airfoil boosts lift and load capacity while cutting takeoff distance and minimizing water drag through adjustable positioning.
An attachable float frame stores auxiliary fuel and uses low-drag cutouts to improve seaplane range, efficiency, and landplane conversion.
A reinforced parachute harness secures medical payloads for faster emergency airdrops while reducing landing impact and water-loss risk.
Sensors and automatic scoop repositioning detect and correct asymmetric float plane scoop deployment during water pickup.
An impact-isolated cage, integrated floats, and AI sensor suite let this rescue quadcopter handle collisions, water landing, and autonomous inspection.
Polygonal inflatable flotation bodies improve restoring torque and buoyancy response, helping helicopters resist capsizing in irregular waves.
A slanted-axis tilting wing and engine layout enables smooth VTOL-to-forward flight transition while reducing drag and wing inertia.
A pivoting scoop tube and aerodynamic wall layout improve water tank filling while limiting pitch-down moment and yaw instability.
