Abstract
Systems and methods for a gyroscopic rotational wing for an aircraft are disclosed. In one embodiment, a safety and stability device for an aircraft comprises an inner ring, an outer ring that rotates relative to the inner ring, and a motor connected to the inner ring that drives rotation of the outer ring relative to the inner ring. In some embodiments, the safety and stability device rotates in a substantially horizontal plane and at a rotational speed sufficient to provide gyroscopic stability for the aircraft.
Claims17
An aircraft comprising:
- a safety and stability device comprising:
- an inner ring forming a circular inner area;
- an outer ring that rotates relative to the inner ring;
- and
- a motor connected to the inner ring that drives rotation of the outer ring relative to the inner ring, wherein the safety and stability device rotates in a substantially horizontal plane and at a rotational speed sufficient to provide gyroscopic stability for the aircraft;
- a fuselage connected to the inner ring formed within the circular inner area;
- and
- at least one propeller connected to the fuselage and formed within the circular inner area,
- where the outer ring surrounds the inner ring and the fuselage, and
- wherein the outer ring rotates during flight.
