The invention relates to a flight system having at least two actuated flapping wings (2), an actuated tail unit (9), a control device and an exoskeleton (1) for at least one person. The exoskeleton (1) is movable independently of the flapping wings (2). The control device is configured to receive motion sensor signals from the exoskeleton (1) and to use the motion sensor signals to define specified movement signals and to control the flapping wings (2) and/or the tail unit (9) by way of the specified movement signals. The specified movement signals can be defined such that the movements of the flapping wings (2) and/or of the tail unit (9) follow those of the exoskeleton (1).

Controlling a movement of an aircraft. A computer system detects a position of a group of integrated control levers for the aircraft. The computer system controls a forward thrust, a drag, and a reverse thrust generated by the aircraft based on the position of the group of integrated control levers.

The present invention relates to a mechanism comprising a frame (10), levers (7), pedals (19,17,13), clutches (01), and/or freewheels, gears and/or pulleys, rotation shafts (8,9, 11, 14, 15), and/or push shafts levers (20) which convert the reciprocating pushing motion into a rotational motion of the different vehicles or whatever needs of driving force, by the muscular effort of the legs of at least one user in a vertical position (standing) and/or a user in a horizontal position (sitting) or even completely lying on the back or on the stomach in order to push the levers (7) which bounce back and forth around a horizontal axis (HX) and/or two parallel and symmetrical vertical axes (VX1 and VX2).

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) copter for consumer photography or videography can be launched by a user throwing the UAV copter into mid-air. The UAV copter can detect that the UAV copter has been thrown upward while propeller drivers of the UAV copter are inert. In response to detecting that the UAV copter has been thrown upward, the UAV copter can compute power adjustments for propeller drivers of the UAV copter to have the UAV copter reach a predetermined elevation above an operator device. The UAV copter can then supply power to the propeller drivers in accordance with the computed power adjustments.

A human powered aircraft has a fuselage in which a nacelle is defined, at least one wing fastened to the fuselage, at least a first propeller adapted to rotate about a first propeller axis, and a propeller group configured to be operated by a user to rotate the at least a first propeller about the first propeller axis. The propeller group has a first propulsor and a second propulsor adapted to be moved by upper limbs and lower limbs of the user, respectively. The first and second propulsors are configured to be rotated alternatively in two opposite directions about a first rotation axis and a second rotation axis, respectively. At least one connection arm connects the first and second propulsors to each other so that a rotation in one direction of the first propulsor results in a rotation in the same direction of the second propulsor, and vice versa.
