Cool Flying Machine

Ever wanted to fly? Sure, we all have. Here is a machine that will let you soar in the sky. The pilot can control it manually, or it can fly on auto-pilot, presumably taking a wounded person out of a dangerous zone.

The fans can run on batteries or a gas engine. To control the rotorcraft, the fans can be tilted for forward flight, and their speed varied for yaw because they counter-rotate.

Claim 1 reads “A rotorcraft comprising: an array of lift devices; a pilot housing; connecting lines attaching the pilot housing to the array of lift devices; and an actuator interface at the pilot housing such that the pilot can steer the rotorcraft.” Pretty broad stuff, perhaps this is a pioneer invention and they will get full broad protection for this marvel.

Title: “ROTORCRAFT”
