  • COUNTER ROTATING TORQUE DRIVE FOR ROTARY WING VEHICLE PROPULSION
    Publication number: 20210061482
    Abstract: An aircraft for generating torque. The aircraft includes a motor coupling a lifting rotor and a torque rotor, and is configured to spin the lifting rotor in a first direction to generate lift and spin the torque rotor in a second direction to generate drag-torque. The torque rotor and the lifting rotor are coupled or decoupled from one another during flight or on ground.

  • Counter rotating torque drive for rotary wing vehicle propulsion
    Patent number: 10864987
    Abstract: An aircraft that includes torque rotor and a lifting rotor, and generates torque from the torque rotor. The torque rotor may optimize drag production while the lifting rotor may optimize lift production limiting compromise between drag and lift production rotor.
