Modular toy aircraft with capacitor power sources

A modular toy aircraft, comprising:

• an airframe, comprising:
• a fuselage having first and second sides;
• a wing connected to the fuselage, the wing including first and second portions extending from respective first and second sides of the fuselage;
• a first motor unit mount disposed on the first portion of the wing, the first motor unit mount including a first mount aperture;
• a second motor unit mount disposed on the second portion of the wing, the second motor unit mount including a second mount aperture;
• and
• a power unit mount disposed on the fuselage;
• and
• a modular power system configured to be optionally used with the airframe to propel the toy aircraft and to be optionally used separated from the airframe, comprising:
• a first motor unit including a mounting foot that may be removably inserted into the first mount aperture and rotated relative to the first motor unit mount to engage the first motor unit with the first motor unit mount;
• a first propeller driven by the first motor unit;
• a second motor unit;
• a second propeller driven by the second motor unit;
• a power unit configured to deliver current to at least one of the first and second motor units to propel the modular toy aircraft and remains electrically connected to the at least one of the first and second motor units while the modular power system is being separated from the airframe;
• and
• at least one flexible connection linking the power unit to the at least one of the first and second motor units and permitting movement of the power unit relative to the at least one of the first and second motor units;
• wherein the first motor unit mount is configured to removably receive the first motor unit in at least one first predetermined orientation relative to the wing;
• wherein the second motor unit mount is configured to removably receive the second motor unit in at least one second predetermined orientation relative to the wing;
• and
• wherein the power unit mount is configured to removably retain the power unit in a third predetermined orientation relative to the fuselage.

A toy aircraft having a modular power system comprising:

• an airframe, comprising;
• a wing;
• a first motor unit mount disposed on the wing, the first motor unit mount including a first mount aperture;
• a second motor unit mount disposed on the wing, the second motor unit mount including a second mount aperture;
• a modular power system comprising
• a first motor unit, comprising:
• a first housing;
• a first motor disposed within the first housing;
• a mounting foot that may be removably inserted into the first mount aperture and rotated relative to the first motor unit mount to engage the first motor unit with the first motor unit mount;
• and
• a first propeller driven by the first motor;
• a second motor unit, comprising:
• a second housing;
• a second motor disposed within the second housing;
• a mounting foot that may be removably inserted into the second mount aperture and rotated relative to the second motor unit mount to engage the second motor unit with the second motor unit mount;
• and
• a second propeller driven by the second motor;
• and
• a power unit, comprising:
• a third housing;
• wherein the power unit is electrically connected to the first and second motors, and the power unit is configured to provide power to at least one of the first and second motors to drive at least one of the first and second propellers;
• and
• wherein the modular power system is configured to be optionally separated from and used apart from the airframe, and the power unit remains electrically connected to both the first and second motors while the power unit and the first and second motor units of the modular power system are being separated from the airframe.
