Modular Autonomous Air and Road Vehicle
20220402604 · 2022-12-22 ·

The modular autonomous air and road mobility (AARM) vehicle with Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) capability provides combined air and road mobility solution.

AARM is clean energy powered, modular vehicle, which can be undocked and redocked into road module and air module, providing uninterrupted autonomous mobility between air and road. In addition, the modular design enables: Easy navigation through highly populated areas without the need to accommodate fixed wing aircraft on urban roads. Reduced energy consumption and noise levels in urban roads by not having to carry the air propulsion system into urban areas.

The road and air modules dock with each other through a sensor guided docking and load carrying mechanism (SGDMS), allowing connectivity, command and control. The vehicle can be scaled appropriately to serve: personal mobility, shared car, air taxis, regional air transport, cargo and shipping, defense missions, medical evacuations and air ambulances.

VTOL aircraft
11524778 · 2022-12-13 · ·

A VTOL aircraft has fixed wings and a rotor blade system for providing lift in active and passive modes thereof. Operation of the rotor blade system may be switched between the active mode in which the rotor blade system is driven by a power system of the aircraft and the passive mode in which the rotor blade system is not driven by the power system, the rotor blade system being configurable to provide lift in the passive mode during forward flight of the aircraft. The rotor blade system provides lift in the passive mode, allowing the fixed wings to be shorter than in the case where the rotor system provides lift during vertical take-off and landing but otherwise has no function, thus providing aircraft which is lighter, more compact and more efficient than similar aircraft of the prior art.
