Patent number: 11685522Abstract: The rotor of a hybrid aerodyne for producing lift by rotating during a stage of vertical flight and then for being held stationary and stored longitudinally during a stage of cruising flight has at least one single-blade with a counterweight. The length of the active blade that generates lift of the rotor while rotating is significantly shorter than the length of the radius of the rotor. The portion that carries the active blade that makes the connection between the active blade and rotor mast is structurally rigid. The rigid portion that carries the active blade presents a cross-section optimized to provide zero or almost zero lift and very little aerodynamic drag while the rotor is rotating. The assembly is hinged about a transverse axis perpendicular to the vertical axis of the rotor and substantially on the vertical axis of the rotor mast.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2016Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: INNOSTARInventor: Jean-Michel Simon

Patent number: 11639217Abstract: An aerodyne comprises a fuselage, a fixed wing , a thruster for cruising flight, and a rotary wing for stages of vertical flight and held stationary during cruising flight. The rotary wing includes at least two contrarotating single-blades disposed at the top of the fuselage and hinged about respective axes perpendicular to the rotor axes of rotation. A maneuvering procedure for maneuvering the aerodyne includes a transition stage between a stage of vertical flight and a stage of cruising flight, wherein in the transition stage, when the speed of each single-blade is less than a threshold speed of rotation, the pitch of each single-blade is such that it no longer provides any lift force and the transverse hinge of the single-blade to its rotor axis is held locked in a position such that the single-blade is perpendicular to the rotor shaft.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2019Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: INNOSTARInventors: Jean-Michel Simon, Philippe Roesch
