  • Patent number: 11866150
    Abstract: A propeller safety device is provided. The propeller safety device is configured to insert a moving part of a propeller into a fixed part during a crash of an air mobility to allow a reduction in the total length of the propeller, thereby preventing the propeller from hitting the ground. Accordingly, a secondary accident due to fragments formed when the rotating propeller hits the ground is prevented.

  • Patent number: 11845533
    Abstract: A propeller control system of an air mobility is configured to insert a movable part forming a propeller into a fixed part in a situation where the air mobility is stored and crashes, thereby reducing an entire length of the propeller. As a result, an entire size of the air mobility is reduced when the air mobility is stored, which may prevent secondary accidents caused by fragments generated by contact of the rotated propeller with the ground in the situation where the air mobility crashes.

  • Patent number: 11787530
    Abstract: A fail safety apparatus of the air mobility is provided. Locations of propeller modules are adjusted by rotation parts and length adjustment units to evenly distribute thrust of the re-located propeller modules so that the attitude of the air mobility is stabilized. In particular, when one propeller module among a plurality of propeller modules fails, the attitude of the air mobility is normalized by adjusting a location of the failed propeller module and locations of remaining normal propeller modules so that flight safety of the air mobility is secured.
