Estimating the term…
The ‘Air Wheel’ rotor is a rotor with blades of variable pitch and variable twist. The ‘Air Wheel’ rotor comprises one or more hubs connected to the closed axisymmetric wing via flexible blades. There is provided a wide range of combinations of the wing relative width and coning angle typical for a lifting rotor with a thin planar wing attached to the tips of long blades, for a shrouded fan in a wide annular wing, or an impeller in a rotating cylindrical wing is provided. The ‘Air Wheel’ rotor combines and enhances the advantages of a rotor and a wing. The ‘Air Wheel’ rotor has high aerodynamic properties, and eliminates limitations of the rotor size and flight speed. The ‘Air Wheel’ rotor can be used for designing vertical take-off and landing aircraft.
A rotor with blades of variable pitch and variable twist, wherein the rotor comprises a closed wing coupled to one or more coaxial hubs via torsional flexible blades, the blades being coupled to the closed wing in one of a rigid, elastic, and visco-elastic manner
