FLYING ELECTRIC GENERATORS WITH CLEAN AIR ROTORS
First Claim
1. A flying electric generator comprising a fuselage, at least one pair of first rotors mounted to a fuselage so as to be forward of at least one pair of second rotors that are mounted to the fuselage so as to be aft of the forward mounted first pair of rotors, and wherein each of the rotors is mounted to the fuselage such that when the flying electric generator is facing the wind, each rotor has a direct path to an undisturbed flow of wind regardless of angle of attack or pitch angle of the flying electric generator.

Abstract
Flying electric generator aircraft that include groupings of four rotors mounted to booms extending fore and aft of a fuselage structure wherein the rotors are placed so that when the aircraft is facing the wind, each rotor has a direct path to an undisturbed flow of air, regardless of pitch angle and during all flight maneuvers of the aircraft. The rotors are placed in counter-rotating pairs with the booms preferably angled so that the rotors in the front of the aircraft are spaced at a distance from one another that is different than a spacing of the rotors at the rear of the aircraft.
