  • Patent number: 10933987
    Abstract: A multirotor aircraft with an airframe and a thrust producing units arrangement, wherein the thrust producing units arrangement comprises a predetermined number of thrust producing units for producing thrust in a predetermined direction, and wherein a flexible suspension unit is rigidly mounted to the airframe, wherein the flexible suspension unit comprises at least one bearing that mechanically couples the thrust producing units arrangement to the airframe such that the thrust producing units of the predetermined number of thrust producing units are inclinable in relation to the airframe.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9475578
    Abstract: A rotary wing aircraft with a tail rotor in a rotor duct of a shroud. A bumper projects from a lower transition region of said shroud, said lower transition region having a left hand and a right hand lower transition edge between respectively the left hand and the right hand annular surface around the rotor duct and the bumper. Upper leading edges of a vertical fin and of said shroud are provided with left hand and right hand trailing edges. A projection of the upper transition edge to an upright longitudinal plane is defined by a spline curve through points Pi (i=1 . . . 5) and a projection of the lower transition edge to the plane is defined by a spline curve through points Pi (i=6 . . . 10) defined by their respective coordinates (xi, zi) relative to a centre of the shrouded tail rotor.

  • Patent number: 9242713
    Abstract: An aerodynamic blunt aft body (10) of a helicopter fuselage with two strakes (7, 8) along an aft surface (9) and/or respective left hand and right hand side fuselage surfaces (5, 6). Each strake (7, 8) is defined by first and second intersection lines (3, 4) resulting from intersections of horizontal planes (z) with the surface of the aft surface (9) or the respective left hand and right hand side fuselage surfaces (7, 8). The strakes are defined by a two or three dimensional spline (12) from the surface (2) towards the aft surface (9) inside said first and second intersection lines (3, 4) and inside the bounding box (15).
