  • Aircraft with linear thruster arrangement
    Patent number: 11634211
    Abstract: A linear thruster aircraft includes: an airframe, including an elongated mounting nacelle and a main body; an aircraft control unit with a processor, a non-transitory memory, and an input/output component; and at least one linear thruster arrangement with at least four thrusters mounted along at least one elongated axis of the elongated mounting nacelle, such that the thrusters are configured to provide lift, pitch, roll, and yaw movement. Optionally, the linear thruster arrangement can include alternating lateral and vertical offsets of the thrusters from the elongated axis, and pairs of thrusters can be vertically overlapping.
    Type: Grant
