    Abstract: A rotor system of a tail-sitter aerial vehicle configured to rotate about an axis of rotation is provided including a rotor hub which rotates about the axis of rotation and at least one rotor blade operably coupled to the rotor hub. The at least one rotor blade is configured to rotate about a folding axis between an extended position where the at least one rotor blade is substantially within a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation and a stowed position where the rotor blade is arranged out of the plane of at an angle less than ninety degrees to the axis of rotation.

    Abstract: A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft is provided and includes a fuselage, inboard wings extending from opposite sides of the fuselage to define a support plane and engine nacelles disposed along the wings. Each of the wings includes ground alighting elements and a variable geometry such that a portion of the ground alighting elements are alignable with the support plane during in-flight conditions and displaceable from the support plane.

    Abstract: A yaw control system of an aircraft includes an aircraft having an airframe extending along a longitudinal axis, a coaxial contra-rotating main rotor system rotatable about a first axis, and a rotor system rotatable about a second axis to move air between a first side of the airframe and a second, opposite side of the airframe. The first side and the second side are disposed on opposing sides of the longitudinal axis. The yaw control provided by operation of the rotor system is supplemental to the yaw control provided by the coaxial contra-rotating main rotor system.
