Aerodynamics ~ Two electrically driven rotor concepts for future rotorcraft.

The following links are to a couple of rotor concepts. For the purpose of development, the projects are directed at the Ultralight helicopter category.

ElectrotorPlus consists of a 2-bladed rotor where the rotorhub has hub springs, or alternatively offset teetering hinges, plus a control moment gyroscope; for enhanced cyclic control, particularly during zero-gravity.

The intent of this posting is to place the above concept (invention) into the public domain.

Any critiques or thoughts will be appreciated.

_________________________

The above concept is an alternative to the Electrotor concept, which was posted on the Web a year ago. This earlier concept consists of a 3-bladed rotor where the rotorhub contains a constant velocity joint c/w hub springs for enhanced cyclic control.
