  • Patent number: 8757536
    Abstract: The present invention consists of an aerial device, comprising a structure and a rotating element equipped with at least one blade, suitable for effecting a rotation relative to the structure around a rotation axis, wherein the device is equipped with means making it possible to cause the rotating element to rotate relative to the structure and wherein these means include a gas generator and a pipe that makes it possible to guide the gas towards an orifice at a distance from this rotation axis in order to cause the rotating elements to rotate by means of the gas ejected through the orifice, characterized in that the generator outlet and the pipe are part of the rotating elements and are suitable for rotating around the rotation axis relative to the structures.
