| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7770839 | Flight machinery The flight machinery includes a structure in which a main body and a lightweight wing having an unvalued weight compared with the main body are connected by use of a power joint on a line joining the center of a lift force and the center of gravity of the wing in th... | 08/10/2010 |
| 7487937 | Airfoil for micro air vehicle An airfoil for a micro air vehicle that includes components enabling the airfoil to adjust the angle of attack (AOA) of the airfoil in response to wind gusts, thereby enabling the airfoil to provide smooth flight. The airfoil may include a first compliant region pos... | 02/10/2009 |
| 6843452 | Variable trailing edge geometry and spanload control A mobile platform lift increasing system includes at least one wing-shaped structure having a leading edge, a trailing edge and a chord length perpendicularly measurable between the leading and trailing edges. A rotatable control surface is located near a trailing e... | 01/18/2005 |
| 5915650 | Aircraft wing with dual axis mobility A wing structure for hang gliders, ultralites, gliders, heavy aircraft, ornithopters and sailsoaring flying boats which has a first wing set that pivots on two axis, and a second wing set that remains substantially immobile relative to the fuselage or kee... | 06/29/1999 |
| 5863013 | STOL/VTOL free wing aircraft with improved shock dampening and absorbing means An improved VTOL/STOL free wing aircraft providing damping and absorption of shock landing loads upon landing. A pair of resilient struts is provided, projecting forwardly from the trailing edge of either side of the fuselage when the fuselage is tilted. ... | 01/26/1999 |
| 5433400 | Aircraft design An aircraft comprises a hollow elongated body having a plurality of short wings projecting outwardly form the body in a vertically stacked array. The wings transverse substantially the entire length of the body. Engines with diameters substantially equal ... | 07/18/1995 |
| 5395073 | STOL/VTOL free wing aircraft with articulated tail boom A VTOL/STOL free wing aircraft includes a free wing having wings on opposite sides of a fuselage connected to one another respectively adjacent fixed wing inboard or center root sections fixedly attached to the fuselage for free rotation about a spanwise ... | 03/07/1995 |
| 5137228 | Rotary wing with torsionally flexible blades A controllable lifting rotary wing for an aircraft wherein each rotor blade is of torsionally flexible construction and control may be accomplished by twisting the rotor blades. The root end of each blade is mounted to a central hub by means which allow b... | 08/11/1992 |
| 4534526 | Cabin noise suppression in propeller driven aircraft The fuselage (cabin) (15) of a propeller (45) driven aircraft (10) is isolated from vibration associated with the wake (46) of the propeller by vibration isolators (50, 55 and 110) in the wing and tail surfaces of the aircraft.... | 08/13/1985 |
| 4483498 | Flight control surface coupling system A flight control surface coupling system which provides a two-element drive coupling between two control surface segments. The first element is a torsion bar that has adequate spring rate to suppress surface flutter yet soft enough to deflect and function... | 11/20/1984 |
| 4357777 | Dihedral aerodynamic structure The specification describes an aerodynamic structure having lift for use on an aerodyne. The structure comprises first and second essentially identical planar sections hingedly connected at their roots to one another at dihedral angles. The sections are m... | 11/09/1982 |
| 4272912 | Airplane model with flexible strut assembly An airplane model essentially comprising an assembly of struts, connecting the wings together and to the fuselage, and an elastic connecting strap for connecting the lower wings to the fuselage, which struts and connecting strap are flexible and resilient... | 06/16/1981 |
