Though, how do they control cyclic?
Is there a swashplate or something that I do not see, or is it as I assume, some kind of mechanism that allows cyclic to be controlled implicitly by motor speed? Edit: The patent apparently says they have a swashplate and cyclic control on the bottom rotor, so it's basically a model helicopter.
They can't patent the coaxial bit just by adding the 'on a UAV', so they patent their way of having the blades collapse.
- Zanfa 2y agoIf you look closely at the 6th picture in the article, the swashplate arms are visible on the bottom rotor.
- impossiblefork 2y agoAh, yes. I missed them at first.
- blutack 2y agoThey can't patent the coaxial helicopter UAV bit because there's a huge amount of prior art.
- impossiblefork 2y agoYes, that is basically the idea.
