Definitions

  • the purpose of the invention is to use a flying helicopter platform, also known as "the aircraft” or other similar names that can act as a flying crane that can lift and transport heavy loads or can carry attachments that can fight fires, perform surveillance activities, or that can carry people, among many other things.
  • the aircraft flies by using a platform that is circular on the sides and which is flat on the top and bottom, similar to two dinner plates placed horizontally and connected by multiple vertical column, rods, or tubes which provide for sufficient space between the top and bottom circular pieces to contain two counter rotating helicopter blades, motors, engines, computers and other items needed. It has a diameter of multiple feet across in order to make it of a sufficient size to contain large enough counter rotating helicopter rotor blades to lift a significant amount of weight.
  • the engines or motors work as one unit and are attached to a vertical rotor shaft that is attached to two horizontal counter rotating helicopter rotor blades that are above the engines or electric motors, depending on which is being used, and shaft.
  • the helicopter platforms engines can be easily interchanged or replaced with electric motors, or vise versa.
  • the two horizontal counter rotating helicopter rotor blades are powered by four engines or motors working together through one gear box or transmission.
  • the four engines or motors fit together similar to four equal quarter size pieces of a circle or of a pie. This provides for redundancy as the flying helicopter crane platform can land under control with only three engines or motors working.
  • each aircraft has all of the wires, fuel pumps, fuel lines, and other necessary items to operate engines or electric motors for powering the counter rotating helicopter rotor blades.
  • the engines and fuel tanks are interchangeable with the electric motors and batteries and vice versa.
  • conveyer belt type system that is run by electric motors and which is located on or near the bottom of the aircraft that has a large weight attached to it.
  • the weight When the weight is located in the exact center of gravity of the aircraft it causes it to hover.
  • the conveyer belt When the conveyer belt is moved forward or backward by the electric motors it causes the weight to move forward or backward with the conveyer belt that it is attached to.
  • This causes the aircraft to tilt forward or backward in varying degrees depending on how far forward or backward the weight on the conveyer belt is moved.
  • the angle of the helicopter's counter rotating rotor blades are also tilted forward or background. This causes the angle of the thrust from the rotor blades to change and to propel the aircraft forward or backward at different speeds.
  • the aircraft can turn left or right by accelerating one counter rotating blade faster than the other.
  • the increased centripetal force and momentum produced by one counter rotating rotor blade over the other causes the aircraft to turn in that direction and vice versa.
  • These airplane propellers can be powered by either engines or electric motors.
  • the engines or electric motors can be detached and interchanged with each other.
  • the two airplane propellers can be turned in opposite directions of each other in order to turn the aircraft left or right in conjunction with or in place of increasing the speed of one counter rotating rotor blade over the other.
  • two small to medium size jet engines interchanged and can be used for producing even faster speeds than can be produced by the airplane propellers.
  • an electric winch with a strong and flexible cable.
  • the cable can be raised or lowered by means of an electric motor that powers the winch.
  • Attached to the bottom of the aircraft and surrounding the winch cable is a circular telescoping extension tube that can be extended vertically. It is stationary and it can be turned to the left or right by means of an electric motor.
  • At the end of the winch cable are two hooks that are located several inches apart and that are connected firmly to each other.
  • a cable or telescoping extension pole can be placed across the two hooks horizontally so that the load being lifted does not spin or turn in the wind or due to the momentum of being lifted.
  • a load being carried can be kept from spinning in the air at the end of the winch cable and can be turned left or right very easily and directed or maneuvered by the operator to the exact spot the operator desires to place the load being carried.
  • the fuel for the engines that powers the helicopter rotor blades is supplied by fuel pumps that pump fuel from the fuel tanks to each of the engines through strong and protected fuel tubes / lines.
  • the fuel for the engines that power the vertical propellers is pumped by fuel pumps that pump fuel from the fuel tanks to each of the engines through strong and protected fuel tubes / lines.
  • the electric motors and other devices on the aircraft that use electricity have the electricity supplied through cables carrying it from alternators, or other electricity producing devices, that and that are powered by engines or motors.
  • the aircraft is controlled by a person, or persons, who pilot(s) it from the ground using the portable remote control device that sends signals to the aircraft's devices through line of sight radio signals, infrared, or satellite relay. It is equipped with all three and can be switched between them.
  • a human pilot can also fly or control the aircraft using the same portable control device while being carried in the human carrying attachment that attaches to the bottom of the aircraft's exoskeleton.
  • the aircraft will be especially useful on construction sites where it can replace large ground based cranes which are expensive, dangerous, difficult to transport, and difficult to set up.
  • the invention can move heavy items such as steel beams, loads of lumber, equipment, and other building supplies and equipment safely and easily to very high elevations when constructing multistory buildings.
  • the aircraft is light in weight, easy to transport, easy to set up, and can be operated by one person. It is also much less expensive to manufacture, transport, and operate than current cranes.
  • the flying platform is very quiet when it is equipped with electric motors and does not produce any exhaust gases, hi addition, an electric cable can be attached or plugged into the helicopter on one and a standard house or business/commercial electric outlet on the other end. This allows the aircraft to fly indefinitely as long as it is attached or plugged into the electric cable. While it is plugged in to the outlet the batteries onboard the aircraft are also being charged.
  • the aircraft can be covered on all sides with removable, protective sections that consist of screens that allow air to pass through them, but that are strong enough to protect the aircraft helicopter rotor blades and internal workings from outside objects that may run into or collide with it, or from outside objects that the aircraft may run into or collide with.
  • removable, protective sections completely surround the aircraft, including all of the helicopter rotor blades and all of the vertical airplane propeller blades, without significantly reducing the performance of the aircraft.
  • the aircraft can be attached to other aircraft of the identical design and size by use of connecting tubes or rods that are located on the top, bottom, and sides of each aircraft. These connecting tubes or rods allow electricity from all of the aircraft to be shared by all of the other aircraft that are connected together.
  • the connecting tubes or rods allow the computers and the other devices on the aircraft to communicate and work together.
  • the multiple aircraft can be attached together horizontally or stacked on top of the other vertically.
  • the controls from the other aircraft can be transferred to one remote control unit. This allows one remote control unit to control all of the connected aircraft. When this is done the connected aircraft operate as one aircraft.
  • the aircraft can be detached and separated and then operated as independent aircraft by their separate remote control unites once again.
  • the aircraft uses material of a proper substance and design that conducts electricity from a lightning strike or from outside sources, such as an electric power line that the aircraft might accidentally come in contact with, away from the electric motors, computer system, global positioning system, and other electronic devices and either absorb or dampen the electricity or send it out of the aircraft and into the air.
  • the removable, protective frame sections that cover and protect the entire surface of the aircraft on all sides contain a substantial of electricity insulating material that covers outside portions of them. This aids in the protection of the aircraft from damage due to being struck by lightening or by coming into contact with electric power lines or other outside sources of electricity.
  • attachment hooks on the bottom of the aircraft that allow for optional attachments to be connected to the platform.
  • These attachments allow for additional equipment and tools to be added to the aircraft in order to allow it to perform tasks other than that of being used as a flying crane.
  • the attachments can be easily added and removed. They hook or plug directly into the aircraft's electrical system. These additional attachments will be designed and sold separately.
  • the winch for use as a crane comes as standard equipment with the flying helicopter crane platform.
  • an attachment is shown that is used for fighting fires in buildings. It has a water pump in the bottom to which a conventional fire hose is attached. The water is pumped up through the bottom of the firefighting attachment and out of a horizontal water spout.
  • the water spout can be turned left or right and up or down remotely by electric motors.
  • the remote operator can direct the water spout in the direction, and to the exact spot, desired. All of the engines, electric motors, equipment, other devices, and electrical wires on the aircraft are sealed appropriately so that they are water proof and can be operated in the rain without any water coming into contact with them and thus without causing damage to them or any negative effect on their operation.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une plate-forme aéronautique pour hélicoptère volant à vide qui utilise des pales de rotor d'hélicoptère tournant dans le sens inverse qui tournent dans le sens opposé et qui sont situées à une distance suffisante l'une au-dessus de l'autre pour assurer la propulsion. Les pales du rotor de l'hélicoptère peuvent être alimentées soit par des moteurs électriques interchangeables ou par des moteurs à combustion interne alimentés en carburant qui font tourner deux arbres verticaux, l'un situé à l'intérieur de l'autre. Les moteurs électriques peuvent être alimentés soit par des batteries rechargeables à bord fonctionnant avec du courant continu ou en branchant la plate-forme aéronautique pour hélicoptère directement sur un courant électrique alternatif relié à la terre et en utilisant un long câble électrique mobile lors du vol. La plate-forme aéronautique pour hélicoptère tourne lorsque l'une des deux pales d'hélicoptère tournant en sens inverse tourne plus rapidement que l'autre. La plate-forme tournante pour hélicoptère tourne dans le sens de la pale de rotor qui tourne plus vite en raison de la force plus importante exercée par la pale du rotor qui tourne plus vite que l'autre. La plate-forme aéronautique pour hélicoptère est entourée par une cage d'exosquelette légère, qui empêche les pales de rotor d'être obstruées ou heurtées par quelque chose que la plate-forme aéronautique pour hélicoptère peut accidentellement rencontrer, et qui est fixée à la partie inférieure des moteurs électriques ou des moteurs à combustion interne à carburant. Des fenêtres à écran poreux semblables à des panneaux peuvent être ajoutées à l'exosquelette ou retirées de celui-ci afin d'assurer une meilleure protection contre des éléments tels que des oiseaux ou autres objets avec lesquels la plate-forme aéronautique pour hélicoptère risque d'entrer en contact. L'exosquelette utilise un poids situé sur le côté inférieur de la plate-forme aéronautique pour hélicoptère qui peut être déplacé à distance dans différents sens par rapport au centre de gravité, au moyen d'un mécanisme de type à courroie, afin de naviguer dans n'importe quel sens. La plate-forme aéronautique pour hélicoptère s'incline dans le sens où le poids est déplacé et vole dans ce sens. A un endroit sur son côté inférieur, des fixations peuvent être fixées ou retirées, ce qui permet à la plate-forme aéronautique pour hélicoptère d'avoir de multiples usages différents. L'hélicoptère peut voler et fonctionner à l'aide d'une unité de commande manuelle commandée, soit à distance par signal radio, infrarouge ou relais satellite par une personne au sol, soit elle peut être utilisée par un pilote à bord situé dans l'annexe pour personnes à l'aide d'une unité de commande à distance d'unité de commande manuelle. Une autre annexe pouvant être fixée à la partie supérieure de la plate-forme aéronautique pour hélicoptère contient des hélices d'avion horizontales pouvant être déplacées par des moteurs électriques interchangeables ou par des moteurs à combustion interne permettant une meilleure propulsion horizontale et une plus grande vitesse.
