Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to aircraft having one or more unducted fan propulsors at locations within specific regions relative to an airfoil, such as a wing or horizontal stabilizer. More specifically, the specific regions are located where there is a relatively higher pressure air flow beneath the wings or above a horizontal stabilizer. That higher pressure air flow can be utilized to provide increased thrust from the unducted fan propulsor.

Abstract: An aeronautical thruster having a longitudinal axis and having a hub, an upstream annular row and a downstream annular row which are spaced apart from each another along the longitudinal axis, the upstream annular row being rotatable around the longitudinal axis, and the downstream annular row having a first blade and a second blade each extending in a radial direction to define a radial dimension between the hub and a radially outer end of the corresponding blade. When observed angularly around the longitudinal axis, the second blade can be positioned closer to an angular position at 3 o'clock or an angular position at 9 o'clock than the first blade, and the radial dimension of the first blade can be greater than the radial dimension of the second blade.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an assembly for an aircraft turbomachine, having a speed reduction gear comprising an input pinion connected to a power shaft of the turbomachine and an output pinion connected to a propeller shaft of the turbomachine. According to the disclosure, the assembly includes two electric machines which are each configured to provide electrical power to the propeller shaft or to draw mechanical power from the propeller shaft, each electric machine comprising a rotor and a stator, the stator configured to be connected to a casing of the turbomachine. The speed reduction gear can include two substantially parallel intermediate transmission lines configured to transmit the torque from the input pinion to the output pinion, each rotor being driven in rotation respectively by a pinion of an intermediate line.

Abstract: A multi-rotor aircraft includes a fuselage, a propulsion engine coupled to the fuselage that generates thrust to propel the aircraft along a first vector during forward flight, and rotors coupled to the fuselage, each rotor comprising blades, each rotor coupled to a motor, and each motor configured to supply power to and draw power from the coupled rotor. The aircraft includes a flight control system configured to control the motors coupled to the rotors in a power managed regime in which a net electrical power, consisting of a sum of the power being supplied to or drawn from each rotor by its motor, is maintained within a range determined by a feedback control system of the flight control system. The flight control system can also be leveraged to adjust rotor control inputs to modify at least one of thrust, roll, pitch, or yaw of the multi-rotor aircraft.

Abstract: A vertical landing and take-off aircraft VTOL transitions from a vertical takeoff state to a cruise state where the vertical takeoff state uses propellers to generate lift and the cruise state uses wings to generate lift. The aircraft has an M-wing configuration with propellers located on the wingtip nacelles, wing booms, and tail boom. The wing boom and/or the tail boom can include boom control effectors. Hinged control surfaces on the wings, tail boom, and tail tilt during takeoff and landing to yaw the vehicle. The boom control effectors, cruise propellers, stacked propellers, and control surfaces can have different positions during different modes of operation in order to control aircraft movement and mitigate noise generated by the aircraft.
