Patent number: 11939051Abstract: An aircraft can include a stacked propeller to generate lift during assent and descent. The stacked propeller includes a first propeller and a second propeller that co-rotate about an axis of rotation. In one embodiment, the blades are coupled to a rotor mast that contains an internal cavity. In one mode of operation, the first propeller and/or the second propeller can be stored in the internal cavity in order to reduce drag during flight. The aircraft can include one or more stacked propellers, such as a port propeller and a starboard propeller, which rotate in opposite directions during one or more modes of flight.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Joby Aero, Inc.Inventors: Mark Moore, John Conway Badalamenti, Ian Andreas Villa, Adam Shaw Warmoth, David Lane Josephson

Publication number: 20240086828Abstract: A delivery management system may select a set of preparation sites for the user using preparation site location data and a delivery site associated with the user. The set of preparation sites may comprise a virtual preparation site that is associated with a second preparation site. The delivery management system may serve menu data to a user computing device. The menu data may indicate at least a first item associated with the virtual preparation site. The delivery management system may receive, from the user computing device, a first order indicating the first item. The delivery management system may send a second order for the first item to the second preparation site, where the second order indicates delivery to the virtual preparation site. The delivery management system may request a vehicle to deliver the first item to the virtual preparation site.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Adam Shaw Warmoth, Cody Boyd

Publication number: 20240010332Abstract: A vertical landing and take-off aircraft VTOL transitions from a vertical takeoff state to a cruise state where the vertical takeoff state uses propellers to generate lift and the cruise state uses wings to generate lift. The aircraft has an M-wing configuration with propellers located on the wingtip nacelles, wing booms, and tail boom. The wing boom and/or the tail boom can include boom control effectors. Hinged control surfaces on the wings, tail boom, and tail tilt during takeoff and landing to yaw the vehicle. The boom control effectors, cruise propellers, stacked propellers, and control surfaces can have different positions during different modes of operation in order to control aircraft movement and mitigate noise generated by the aircraft.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Mark MOORE, John Conway BADALAMENTI, Ian Andreas VILLA, Adam Shaw WARMOTH, David Lane JOSEPHSON

Publication number: 20220306826Abstract: A method for forming polyurethane foams in a molding apparatus includes a step of directing one or more polyol compositions into a mold. Each of the one or more polyol compositions include a polyol, water, and a catalyst. The method also includes a step of directing an isocyanate composition into the mold to form a foamed polyurethane. The isocyanate composition includes one or more isocyanates. The one or more polyol compositions and the isocyanate composition is combined into a reaction composition. Characteristically, water concentration is in a range from 1.5 to 2 percent of the weight of the total reaction composition and the amount of isocyanate in the reaction composition is in a sufficient amount such that the isocyanate index is from about 83 to 98. A molded component made by the method is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2021Publication date: September 29, 2022Inventors: Calton B. SPIVEY, Robert D. DAWE, Chiagoziem Mark ANEKE, Paul FIELDING, Jason DeMILLE, Gregory WETZEL, Jill GUNDERMAN, Adam SHAW, Darius GEYER, Matthew PHILLIPS, Chi-Fan HSU, Garrett UPLEGGER

Publication number: 20210374627Abstract: Example embodiments are directed to providing periodic vertiport usage and capacity data exchange, A cloud service system generates, based on historical data, a flight operation set that comprises a simulation of flight operations for time buckets in the future, where the simulation of flight operations include transportation services between vertiports. The system then receives, within a predetermined time period of the time buckets, real-time data including weather forecasts and actual demand for transportation services. The real-time data is analyzed to determine any deviations from the flight operation set for the time buckets. The system then presents the flight operation set including any deviations. Additionally, the system receives, after the time buckets has passed, real-time data indicating actual flight operations, compares the real-time data to the flight operation set to identify deltas, and provides the deltas as feedback to refine the generating of future flight operation sets.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2021Publication date: December 2, 2021Inventors: Eric Mueller, Christabelle Bosson, Ian Andreas Villa, Adam Shaw Warmoth

Publication number: 20150317155Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for taking data input from, and writing data back to, multiple sources that are composed of multiple types of storage types and configurations. This data is revision controlled and presented to the user in a unified table format for ease of correlation. The received data also can be modified or otherwise changed and written back to the disparate sources from which the data was obtained.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2015Publication date: November 5, 2015Inventors: Jeffrey Norman Grills, Matthew Adam Shaw
