Abstract
An unmanned aerial vehicle according to a disclosed embodiment includes a body and two motor assemblies mounted on the body. At least one of the two motor assemblies includes a rotary actuator mounted on the body, a motor mount mounted on an output shaft of the rotary actuator, and a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor mounted on the motor mount and configured such that a rotary blade is mounted thereon. The rotary actuator is mounted on the body such that a rotation axis thereof forms a zero angle or an acute angle with a yaw axis of the body. The motor mount is configured to be tilted such that a rotation axis of the BLDC motor forms an acute angle with respect to the rotation axis of the rotary actuator.

An unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising:
- a body;
- and
- two motor assemblies mounted on the body,
- wherein at least one of the two motor assemblies includes a rotary actuator mounted on the body, a motor mount mounted on an output shaft of the rotary actuator, and a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor mounted on the motor mount and configured such that a rotary blade is mounted thereon,
- wherein the rotary actuator is mounted on the body such that a rotation axis (A2) thereof forms a zero angle or an acute angle with a yaw axis of the body, and
- wherein the motor mount is configured to be tilted such that a rotation axis (A1) of the BLDC motor forms an acute angle with respect to the rotation axis (A2) of the rotary actuator.
A motor assembly for rotating a rotary blade of an unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising
- a rotary actuator;
- a motor mount mounted on an output shaft of the rotary actuator;
- and
- a BLDC motor mounted on the motor mount,
- wherein the motor mount is configured such that a rotation axis (A1) of the BLDC motor is configured to be tilted so as to form an acute angle with respect to a rotation axis (A2) of the rotary actuator.
