Abstract
In an embodiment, a ducted fan propulsion system comprises an outer cowling, adapted to form a duct. The duct houses one or more fan blades rotating about a central axis. One or more motors are in communication with the fan blades and in communication with a power source. The duct is transversed by a plurality of spokes. In an embodiment, multiple ducts are housed within an outer cowling, with each duct comprising one or more rotatable fan blades, one or more central axes, and one or more motors. In each embodiment, one or more members are attached to the ducted or multi-ducted fan propulsion system and extend to a user or vehicle. The members terminate in a handle further comprising a throttle adjuster.
Claims36
