The Invention corresponds to a technical equipment used to make an individual fly. For instance, the Invention relates to the gatherings of the propulsion units, that are worn near the user scapulas, to provide thrust that pushes the user forward, while the parachute carry the user off the ground creating an ultralight aircraft, the Inventors have realized that it is possible to design a wearable aircraft that uses propulsion units, suited to the human body, to push the user's body forward, while using a parachute and the user's strength for stable flight.

The invention is directed to a graspable human propulsion device comprising a primary pole, a lateral pole affixed to the fore end of the primary pole, and a ducted fan assembly affixed to one end the primary pole and configured to accelerate airflow along the longitudinal axis of the primary pole. A user wields the graspable human propulsion device by grasping the primary pole with a first hand and the lateral pole with a second hand. The graspable human propulsion device acts to propel the user along the direction in which the longitudinal axis of the primary pole is pointed. This device is intended to be utilized by a user mounted on a personal transportation apparatus, such as a skateboard. In one embodiment the user controls the amount of thrust by use of a throttle lever mechanism. In another embodiment the user controls the direction and amount of thrust by use of a knobbed slide potentiometer. In a third embodiment the user controls the direction and amount of thrust by use of a twist throttle mechanism. The graspable human propulsion device of the present invention provides a conveniently balanced, easily wielded, and enjoyable propulsive experience for the user.

An unmanned aerial vehicle includes at least one rotor motor configured to drive at least one propeller to rotate; a passenger compartment sized to contain a human or animal passenger; and a hybrid generator system configured to provide power to the at least one rotor motor and to generate lift sufficient to carry the human or animal passenger. The hybrid generator system includes a rechargeable battery configured to provide power to the at least one rotor motor; an engine configured to generate mechanical power; and a generator motor coupled to the engine and configured to generate electrical power from the mechanical power generated by the engine.

An aerial vehicle includes a fuselage, a wing, and a wing shift device. The wing shift device is configured to be coupled to the fuselage. The wing shift device comprises a plurality of apertures for coupling the wing to the aerial vehicle. The plurality of apertures are configured to permit the wing to be shifted in a forward or aft direction along the fuselage based on a center of gravity of the aerial vehicle.

There is disclosed a rotorcraft comprising: an array of lift devices; a pilot housing; connecting lines attaching the pilot housing to the array of lift devices; and an actuator interface at the pilot housing such that the pilot can 5 steer the rotorcraft.

A personal propulsion device, including a platform configured to support a passenger; a first thrust system coupled to the platform, wherein the first thrust system is configured to provide movement in a first direction; a second thrust system coupled to the platform, wherein the second thrust system is configured to provide movement in a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction; and a controller in wireless communication with the second thrust system, wherein the controller is configured to (i) measure an angle of tilt of the controller, and (ii) adjust an output of the second thrust system based at least in part on the measurement.

A thrust unit for a propulsion device includes a thrust engine, arranged to provide a thrust force oriented in a direction so as to provide substantially vertical take-off and landing capability, and a deflector assembly comprising a pair of deflecting elements arranged to selectively divert the ejected fluid and movably mounted in the fluid outlet path. In order to reduce the bulk of the thrust unit and improve reliability and responsiveness, the invention relates more particularly to the positioning of the deflecting elements opposite the ejected fluid.

An emergency ejection seat with a propulsion system is disclosed. The propulsion system may be provided by a propeller-equipped brushless motor. The emergency ejection seat includes speed controllers that can accelerate and move the seat with two different speeds. Several wedge-shaped recesses along the rear of the seat help limit the effects of a vacuum.

Disclosed is a flying skateboard which comprises a bearing part, power parts, a main control module and altitude induction modules. The bearing part comprises a left foot bearing area and a right foot bearing area which are connected, can rotate oppositely when pedaled with foot soles of a human body and can be located on the same plane or on different planes. The main control module comprises a gyroscope and used for controlling the power output of the power parts to keep the balance of the flying skateboard and make the flying skateboard to vertically move up and down or hover. The altitude induction modules are used for measuring the distances between the altitude induction modules and the ground to make the flying altitude of the flying skateboard within the altitude limit threshold value range.

A personal propulsion device, including a platform configured to support a passenger; a sensor positionable within a mouth of the passenger and configured to measure at least one of a bite force or bite pressure thereon; a first thrust system coupled to the platform, wherein the first thrust system is configured to provide thrust in a first direction; and a controller in communication with the sensor and the first thrust system, wherein the controller is configured to (i) receive the measurement of the bite force or bite pressure, and (ii) adjust operation of the first thrust system based at least in part on the received measurement.
