A rotating electric machine includes a rotor and a wound stator. The wound stator has a stator shaft, wherein the stator coils are inserted in the rotor, and the stator shaft is inserted in the center of the rotor. At least one angular position sensor of the rotor is inserted in the center of the space delimited by the stator shaft and the rotor.

A flying car that does not require complex transformation between a car and an aircraft, the flying car can quickly take off from a land, such as road or parking, and can land on the road or parking. The flying car is of triangular shape having a broad front and narrow rear. Three motorized members are coupled to three corners of a frame of the flying car. Each of the three motorized members includes a wheel assembly that includes a wheel and a wheel frame, an inner ring and an outer ring coupled to each other, and both mounted to the wheel frame. A fan mounted on the inner ring and one or more turbines mounted on the outer ring.

Disclosed is a force sensation generation device comprising a frame (10), suitable for attachment to a frame (2) of an aircraft. The device is configured to be joined to an aircraft control mechanism and to provide frictional resistance to the movement of the aircraft control mechanism. The device includes two frictional interfaces defined by two rotatable and two fixed surfaces. Application of sufficient force to the device will overcome the frictional forces at the frictional interfaces.

An aircraft includes an electronically controlled engine (ECE) and a first and a second throttle control assembly. The first throttle control assembly includes a first throttle fly button configured to command a FLY mode and a first throttle idle button configured to command an IDLE mode. The second throttle control assembly includes a second throttle fly button configured to command the FLY mode and a second throttle idle button configured to command the IDLE mode.

A flight control system includes an active control inceptor, a flight control computer, and a force trim release. The active control inceptor includes a control member movable from a first position to a second position to command a vehicle-body rate and including a detent position that holds an attitude. The flight control computer generates a trim command from the second position, a reference position, and a vehicle-body state. With the force trim release selected when the control member is moved from the first position to the second position, the first position is designated as the reference position and the second position is designated as the detent position. Upon deselection of the force trim release with the control member at the second position, the second position is designated as the reference position and the trim command is designated as the detent position.

A distributed control system with supplemental attitude adjustment including an aircraft control having an engaged state and a disengaged state. The system also including a plurality of flight components and a plurality of aircraft components communicatively connected to the plurality of flight components, wherein each aircraft component is configured to receive an aircraft command and generate a response command directing the flight components as a function of supplemental attitude. The supplemental attitude based at least in part on the engagement datum and generating a supplemental attitude includes choosing a position supplemental attitude if the aircraft control is disengaged and choosing a velocity supplemental attitude if the aircraft control is engaged. In generating the response command, the aircraft attitude is combined with the supplemental attitude to obtain an aggregate attitude, and the aircraft component is configured to generate the response command based on the aggregate attitude.
