摘要: A robust control method for an oblique flying wing aircraft includes computing an angular velocity error between a reference angular velocity and an actual angular velocity and computing a moment command with an angular velocity controller based at least in part on the angular velocity error. The angular velocity controller decouples two or more of a yaw rate axis, a pitch rate axis, and a roll rate axis of the asymmetric aircraft for the moment command.

摘要: A vertical take-off and landing aircraft includes a ducted rotary wing. The ducted rotary wing includes a duct and a rotary wing. The duct runs through a body from an upper surface to a lower surface thereof. The rotary wing is provided inside the duct and includes a hub and a blade configured to rotate about the hub. The blade includes a tip inlet, a trailing-edge outlet, and a trailing-edge flow path. The tip inlet is provided on a tip surface of the blade. The trailing-edge outlet is provided at a trailing edge that is an edge on a rear side in a rotation direction of the blade. The trailing-edge flow path allows the tip inlet and the trailing-edge outlet to be in communication with each other.

摘要: Technologies are described herein for a drag recovery scheme using a boundary layer bypass duct system. In some examples, boundary layer air is routed around the intake of one or more of the engines and reintroduced aft of the engine fan in the nozzle duct in a mixer-ejector scheme. Mixer-ejectors mix the boundary layer flow to increase mass flow.

摘要: Systems and methods for mechanically rotating an aircraft about its center-of-gravity (CG) are disclosed. The system can enable the rear, or main, landing gear to squat, while the nose landing gear raises to generate a positive angle of attack for the aircraft for takeoff or landing. The system can also enable the nose gear and main gear to return to a relatively level fuselage attitude for ground operations. The system can include one or more hydraulically linked hydraulic cylinders to control the overall height of the nose gear and the main gear. Because the hydraulic cylinders are linked, a change on the length of the nose cylinder generates a proportional, and opposite, change in the length of the main cylinder, and vice-versa. A method and control system for monitoring and controlling the relative positions of the nose gear and main gear is also disclosed.

摘要: Technologies are described herein for a drag recovery scheme. In various examples, a recovery engine is placed within a vortex flow of air caused by the impingement of air upon a nacelle of a main engine. The propeller of the recovery engine can use the vortex flow of air to provide additional thrust the aircraft, thus reducing the load on the main engines or providing an increased velocity.

摘要: The disclosure generally pertains to a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft comprising a fuselage and at least one fixed wing. The aircraft may include at least two powered rotors located generally along a longitudinal axis of the fuselage. The rotor units may be coupled to the fuselage via a rotating chassis, which allows the rotors to provide directed thrust by movement of the rotor units about at least one axis. The VTOL aircraft may include instructions to perform a degraded rotor landing protocol. The degraded rotor landing protocol may include adjusting a power to an operable rotor unit to control a rate of descent and/or slow a rate of acceleration toward a landing surface. The VTOL aircraft may be configured to impact the landing surface from a substantially vertical configuration, and adjust a thrust vector to cause the aircraft to come to rest in a generally upright configuration.
