  • Patent number: 8357023
    Abstract: A helicopter includes a system to effect motion in a horizontal dimension thereby to direct the desired direction. The rotor blades are driven by a rotor shaft and which is hinge mounted on this rotor shaft, such that the angle between the plane of rotation of the main rotor and the rotor shaft may vary. A control for moving the angle of incidence of at least one blade of the rotor cyclically along at least part of a 360-degree rotation path around the rotor shaft. This causes a variation in a lift force of the blade along at least part of the rotations path. This causes the body to be urged in a relatively horizontal direction from a relative position of rest. The control includes an actuator for engaging with an assembly depending from the rotor, the inter-engagement of the actuator and assembly effecting a change in the angle of incidence of at least the one blade of the rotor. The system includes a rotor, preferably complemented with a stabilizer rotor.

  • Patent number: 8308522
    Abstract: A flying toy comprises a first wing and a second wing attached to and extending from opposite sides of a fuselage. There is a first propulsion unit, having a first motor and a first propeller system rotated by the first motor, mounted with the first wing; and a second propulsion unit, having a second motor and a second propeller system rotated by the second motor, mounted with the second wing. Each propulsion system has main blades and auxiliary blades which interact with each other. Each of two wings can be angled relative to horizontal independently. The toy can operate as a plane or helicopter.

  • Patent number: 8052500
    Abstract: A remote control toy helicopter has a main rotor and an auxiliary rotor both driven by a rotor shaft. The auxiliary rotor has elongated elements at an acute angle relative to blades of the main rotor. A control system is provided that includes an actuator for engaging with a control assembly depending from the auxiliary rotor. The inter-engagement of the actuator and the control assembly effects change in the angle of incidence of the elongated elements of the auxiliary rotor. The interaction occurs when the assembly engages with the actuator by a depending arm associated with the assembly.

  • Patent number: 8002604
    Abstract: A remote-controlled toy helicopter comprises a body; a motor in the helicopter, a battery for powering the motor, and a receiver for communicating signals between the motor and a separate remote controller. A main rotor with blades is driven by a rotor shaft and causing a first lift force developed by the main rotor when the helicopter is airborne. A system permits movement of the helicopter on the ground, and these can be wheels. The helicopter travels on a floor or ground surface when the main rotor develops a second degree of lift force. The helicopter includes a system to effect motion in a horizontal dimension thereby to direct the desired direction. The control includes an actuator for engaging with an assembly depending from the rotor, the inter-engagement of the actuator and assembly effecting a change in the angle of incidence of at least the one blade of the rotor. The system includes a rotor, preferably complemented with a stabilizer rotor.

  • Patent number: 7971824
    Abstract: A flying object wing has a leading edge and a trailing edge and an upper and a lower surface between the edges. A portion between the leading edge and trailing edge provides an upper surface which has a curved shape. From the leading part of the upper surface towards the mid part of the surface there is a concave shape. The lower surface has a curved shape such that from the leading part of the upper surface towards the mid part of the surface there is a convex shape. A transverse aperture in the surfaces of the wing accommodates a propeller for creating thrust for forward flight. The blades of the propeller turn in a plane transverse to a line between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the surface.

  • Patent number: 7883392
    Abstract: A toy helicopter, in accordance with the present disclosure, includes a body having a longitudinal length and a main rotor. There is an element movable along the longitudinal length. The element allows a user to selectively adjust the location of the center of gravity of a toy helicopter by moving the element along the longitudinal length, thereby changing the velocity of the helicopter.

  • Publication number: 20090117812
    Abstract: A flying object with tandem rotors, in particular a helicopter, has a main rotor and a tandem rotor each with propeller blades which are driven by a rotor shaft and which is hinge-mounted to this rotor shaft. The angle between the surface of rotation of the main rotor and the rotor shaft may vary. A swinging manner on an oscillatory shaft is essentially transverse to the rotor shaft of the main rotor and is directed transversally to the longitudinal axis of the vanes. The main rotor and the tandem rotor each have an auxiliary rotor connected respectively to the main rotor and tandem rotor by a mechanical link. The swinging motions of the auxiliary rotor controls the angle of incidence (A) of at least one of the propeller blades of the main rotor and tandem rotor. There is an acute angle of displacement when viewing the propeller blades relative to the vanes in a direction perpendicular to their respective rotational planes.
