Abstract: A rotary aircraft (rotorcraft) in which the entire aircraft rotates about its center of mass as it flies, and in which the center of mass is located external to the aircraft in the generally triangular region formed by the aircraft's single wing and two propellers. As the aircraft flies, the two propellers provide torque about the center of mass and rotate the wing, which provides lift for the aircraft. The aircraft is controllable via a stationary radio transmitter that sends commands for pitch, roll, yaw and altitude. A receiver in the aircraft uses the transmitted signal to establish the aircraft's instantaneous orientation in combination with the sent commands to generate control signals that drive the propeller motors that affect the aircraft's attitude. Pitch and roll are controlled by pulse width modulation of the propeller motor voltages in order to affect the thrust at specific portions of the aircraft's rotation cycle.

Abstract: An airfoil blade in a powered toy aircraft has a body with a cushioned edge. The body has a first end adjoining a hub, a second opposing end, a forward edge, and an opposing trailing edge. The cushioned leading edge is attached mechanically to the body and extends along the forward edge so as to form a cushioned leading edge of the blade or along the second end to form a cushioned blade tip or both. The body is formed from a first resiliently flexible polymer plastic material. The cushioned edge is formed from a second noticeably softer material such as an elastomer.

Abstract: A method of controlling pitch on a gyroplane. A first step involves pivotally securing a wing to a mast supporting a rotor of the gyroplane. A second step involves providing a linkage between the wing and a rotor head. The linkage is secured to the rotor head with a universal joint connection so as not to restrict movement of the rotor head while maintaining a constant relationship between the wing and the rotor. A third step involves providing controls for a pilot to lengthen and shorten the linkage while in flight in order to pivot the wing and thereby alter positioning of the wing relative to the rotor to help control the angle of the rotor relative to wind direction.

A radial fan cools the engine while a lateral opening is provided on a tail boom connected to the body. Air is sucked in from outside of the body by a radial fan in the body, with the air flowing through the lateral opening and being directed to the tail boom through a channel. This air imparts a torque on the body that counter-acts the torque transmitted by the drive for the rotor on the body. The radial fan includes two impellers, which are coaxially mounted on the primary shaft. The air displaced by the second impeller flows through the engine, while flowing through the body, and dissipating the heat from the engine. A separation wall is provided between the two impellers of the radial fan.

Abstract: A starting device of a toy engine comprises a spring, a starting piece, and a unidirectional bevel gear. The motion of the spring between the two fulcrums serves to ensure that the control rod is kept securely in place at a disengaging position and an engaging position. The unidirectional bevel gear is mounted behind the engine propeller and is controlled by the starting piece to prevent the propeller from turning in reverse at the time when the engine is started. The clutch is formed of two clutch pieces which are mounted between the propeller and the engine head. One of the two clutch pieces is mounted on the front end of the propeller shaft for imparting the engine power. Other one of the two clutch pieces is mounted in front of the propeller. The two clutch pieces are symmetrical in construction to each other and are therefore capable of joining together to enable the propeller shaft to actuate the propeller to turn.

Abstract: A remotely controlled toy flying system in which the pitch of the toy flying device is controlled by the same drive shaft and drive shaft tube that is used to transmit power to the rotor of the toy flying device. A child can easily control the pitch of the toy flying device by rotating a knob. Rotation of the knob displaces the drive shaft, lifts the pitch link member and rotates the pitch shaft and toy flying device. Tilting the toy flying device causes the rotor to have a horizontal component of thrust causing the toy flying device to rotate in a fixed arc around the pivot member in the direction in which the knob is rotated by the child. Speed of the toy flying device rotor is controlled by the fore and aft motion of a lever.

Abstract: A tethered model gyroglider having a fuselage, a rotor support extending upwardly from the fuselage, and a unitary two-bladed rotor rotatably mounted onto the rotor support. A teetering mechanism permits the rotor to pivot about an axis proximate the center of the rotor. When the gyroglider is subjected to a relative wind generally from a forward direction, the forward moving blade of the rotor is raised and the rearward moving blade is lowered. This equalizes the aerodynamic forces about the longitudinal axis of the fuselage, thereby eliminating the tendency of the gyroglider to roll in the direction of the rearward moving blade.
