Abstract
This invention describes a rotating wing that provides lift to an aircraft and that is driven by autorotation. It is a naturally stable rotating wing as it does not generate torque and is very safe because it uses autorotation at all times to drive its blades. The design of the blades allows you to use the autorotation in two different ways. The first dependent on the airflow created by moving the aircraft from one place to another and which provides a cruise flight mode and the second independent of the aircraft's movement from one place to another to provide a static flight mode that includes the ability to take off and land vertically, as well as hover at a static point in the air.
Claims11
A rotating wing that provides lift to an aircraft and is driven by autorotation comprising:
- a rotation shaft and plurality of compound blades coupled to the rotation shaft, w herein each compound blade comprises a front aerodynamic structure and a rear aerodynamic structure,
- wherein the front aerodynamic structure and the rear aerodynamic structure are coupled together such that the position of the front aerodynamic structure is selectively adjustable relative to the rear aerodynamic structure, such that in a standard autorotation position, the front aerodynamic structure is completely joined to the rear aerodynamic structure, and in an induced autorotation position, the front aerodynamic structure is spaced from the rear aerodynamic structure a predetermined distance,
- wherein in the standard autorotation position, a rear part of the front aerodynamic structure fits into a front part of the rear aerodynamic structure, and wherein in the standard autorotation position, the front aerodynamic structure and the rear aerodynamic structure fit together to form a single continuous blade, and wherein a hollow part is defined in the front aerodynamic structure and wherein a plurality of openings are defined in the rear part of the front aerodynamic structure such that air can be injected though the hollow part and out of the openings.
