Abstract
A Foldable Rise and Stare Vehicle with a single engine assembly that contains a pair of inline counter-rotating propellers.
- Two inline counter-rotating engines are directly connected to the propellers.
- Gimbal mounting the engine assembly permits thrust to be directed forward to back and left to right to control the vehicle position in the horizontal plane, when hovering.
- Varying the relative engine speeds controls yaw.
The Foldable Rise and Stare Vehicle is adaptable as an unmanned vehicle.
The vehicle collapses into a flat asssembly similar to a foldable beach chair, allowing for convenient transportation.
