Planform Morphing Airframe Rotor Disc Control (No Swash Plate)

by davh12 | October 24, 2012 | (3) Posted in Projects

Spent a couple of years trying to prove this platform concept. It was intended to be a design for a manned platform, but right now ...small scale testing. One patent and a hand full of crashes to date...almost satisfied. Two separate airframes inter-connected. Some have called it weight shifting, but it's not the typical "linear shift" of weight within a rigid static airframe. ...example...weight shifts aft/up during forwar flight. Any change in weight results in airframe in flight reconfiguration changes at equal moments/span of motion of both airframes and rotor disc orientation. Small scale sling load test hopefully this next week.

Finished the gear alignment, electrical, soldering etc. Hope to have most of the reassembly done today. Tomorrow for certain.
