A paramotor assembly, a unibody frame for such a paramotor assembly, and a method of making a paramotor assembly are provided. The paramotor assembly includes a monolithic, non-metallic molded body, a hoop extending at least partially around the molded body, and spars coupling the hoop and the molded body. Each of the spars includes an inner end coupled to the molded body and an outer end coupled to the hoop. The inner ends of the spars are spaced from one another and held in position relative to one another by the molded body. The method includes molding the monolithic molded body from the non-metallic material, attaching inner ends of the spars to the molded body at spaced apart inner locations, and attaching outer ends of the spars to the hoop at spaced apart outer locations.

A paradrone includes a canopy having a parafoil, a transverse canopy frame coupled to the parafoil to support the parafoil, a longitudinal canopy frame that is coupled to the parafoil while having a bent structure such that the parafoil generates a lift, and at least one parafoil connecting portion for connecting at least one canopy frame among the transverse canopy frame and the longitudinal canopy frame to the parafoil. The paradrone also includes a servomotor portion having a servomotor body and a servomotor arm for coupling and fixing intersecting parts of the transverse canopy frame and the longitudinal canopy frame. The servomotor arm is connected to a servomotor body and rotated in a predetermined direction by driving of the servomotor body to change the angle between the travelling direction of the paradrone fuselage and the transverse and longitudinal canopy frames, thereby changing the angle of attack.

There is disclosed a rotorcraft comprising: an array of lift devices supported at a structure; a first group of the lift devices configured to generate thrust in a first common direction; a second group of the lift devices being tilted or tiltable relative to the first group of devices so as to generate thrust in at least a second common direction; and a flight control system.

The present invention relates to the field of heavier-than-air aircraft, such as airplanes and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and, in particular, to emergency rescue systems. The technical objective is accomplished by providing an aircraft, such as a drone, including a powerplant, a parachute, and a body. In particular, the parachute has a fixed shape, it is permanently in an opened state and is connected to the body by rigid braces, while the aircraft center of gravity is located below the aircraft aerodynamic center.
