Abstract: A flight system comprising an aircraft equipped with at least four rotors and having a payload, a number of rotors rotating in one direction and a number of rotors rotating in the other direction, as well as a remote control, the aircraft being connected to the remote control, so as to transmit data, via respective transmitter/receiver units, both the aircraft and the remote control having a data processing device connected to the respective transmitter/receiver unit, both the aircraft and the remote control having the same sensors for flight attitude detection, where, when there is an angle change in the remote control around its X- and/or Y- and/or Z-axis, the amount of the angle change correlates with a definable speed of the aircraft, the speed specified according to the angle change being transmitted as a target value of the data processing device of the aircraft and/or of the remote control.

Abstract: A system for adding functions to an existing application program executing in a computer system having a graphical user interface that includes a clipboard. The invention displays menu options either on an added menu within the application program or on a menu separate from the application program. The invention intercepts communications between the operating system and the application program and determines when the user is invoking one of the added functions. Simulated user input commands are issued to the operating system to capture information from the application program to the clipboard. The information in the clipboard is processed to provide additional features such as on-the-fly spell checking or translation and the modified information is replaced in the application program by transferring from the clipboard using more simulated user input commands.
