  • Patent number: 11858619
    Abstract: An aircraft (100) with a rotary wing (40) is equipped with a propulsion system (10). The aircraft (100) includes a rotating mast (50) that rotates the rotor wing (40). The propulsion system (10) includes a pole (20) mechanically connected to the rotating mast (50) of the aircraft (100), where at least one end of the pole (20) is equipped with a motor (30) configured to rotate the pole (20) around the axis of the rotating mast (50) in such a way that the rotation of the pole (20) can be used to rotate the rotating wing (40). At each end of the pole (20) is placed a motor group (30), where each motor group (30) includes a pair of counter-rotating propellers (32,32), said pair of counter-rotating propellers (32,32?) being arranged in such a way as to generate a rotational torque to rotate the pole (20).

  • Patent number: 11820497
    Abstract: A rotor wing aircraft provided with a propulsion apparatus is disclosed. The aircraft has a rotating mast configured to rotate said rotor wing and the apparatus includes a pole mechanically connectable to the rotating mast of the aircraft. At one of the ends of the pole there is placed an electric turbine, powered by a battery, and configured to rotate the pole around an axis of the rotating mast in such a way that the rotation of the pole can be used to rotate the rotor wing. Preferably the pole is made of carbon fiber.

  • Patent number: 11112766
    Abstract: A method of estimating an attitude of a control device for controlling operating machines, where the control device has a plurality of pushbuttons for controlling the movement of an operating machine along respective directions, the method having the following steps: —preliminary estimating the attitude of the control device using data from an accelerometer and a magnetometer onboard of the control device; —updating of the preliminary estimate of the attitude of the control device using data from a gyroscope onboard of the control device.

  • Publication number: 20210241629
    Abstract: An aircraft traffic control method is described which includes receiving data concerning the position of aircrafts, creating a real-time map of aircraft traffic based on the position data; checking the possibility of a collision between aircrafts on the basis of the map, and, in the event that such check is positive, sending an anti-collision alert to the aircrafts. The method is implemented using an RTS server (Real Time Server) configured to communicate with navigational devices on board aircrafts and provided with an application configured to communicate data concerning the position of the aircrafts to the RTS server.

  • Patent number: 9919901
    Abstract: A device for controlling a swinging of a load suspended from a motorized slidable element is described. The controlling device includes a control unit and an inertial platform. The control unit is provided with means to measure and control the speed of the motorized slidable element and is able to process the values representative of the inclination angle of the cable with respect to the vertical to calculate and to impart control actions in order to dynamically control the speed of the motorized slidable element as a function of a desired inclination angle of the cable with respect to the vertical.
