  • Flying electric generators with clean air rotors
    Patent number: 9388794
    Abstract: Flying electric generator aircraft that include groupings of four rotors mounted to booms extending fore and aft of a fuselage structure wherein the rotors are placed so that when the aircraft is facing the wind, each rotor has a direct path to an undisturbed flow of air, regardless of pitch angle and during all flight maneuvers of the aircraft. The rotors are placed in counter-rotating pairs with the booms preferably angled so that the rotors in the front of the aircraft are spaced at a distance from one another that is different than a spacing of the rotors at the rear of the aircraft.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 18, 2015
    Date of Patent: July 12, 2016
    Inventors: Bruce Weddendorf, Colin Austin, Greg Mercier, Robert Austin
