Abstract

A lower hull 403 and an upper hull 402 may form a multi rotor aircraft fuselage system comprising a comprising a thermoformed thin shell monocoque fuselage 500, center console assembly 200, the center console assembly comprising a center console cover 210, an auto pilot housing cover 220 and an auto pilot housing 225. A center fuselage area 300 contains the center console assembly 200. The center fuselage area is part of a plurality of arm assemblies 400. Each arm assembly may comprise a distal end 440 and a proximal end 410, an access panel cover 420 which may expose a access panel opening 419. An access panel opening 419 may lead to an arm void area 430, with the arm void area 430 further defined by the interior sections of the thin shell fuselage 500.

Claims

1. A multi rotor aircraft fuselage comprising:

a center console assembly, the center console assembly comprising a center console cover, an auto pilot access panel, an auto pilot housing, a mounting ring, and mounting ring studs;

a center fuselage area containing the center console assembly and the center fuselage area attached to a plurality of arm assemblies with the arm assemblies comprising a proximal end, a distal end, an access panel cover, an access panel opening, a motor mount assembly at the distal end of the arm assembly and a landing contact section at the distal end of the arm assembly; and

the center fuselage area and the arm assembly comprising a lower hull attached to an upper hull with a plurality of motors contained within the motor mount assembly.

2. The multi rotor aircraft fuselage of claim 1 further comprising a GPS and aerometer mast, the mast secured together with a rubber ring fastening system;

the center console assembly secured with a rubber ring fastening system; and

the center fuselage area comprising an arm/disarm plug.

3. The multi rotor aircraft fuselage of claim 2 further comprising an arm void area defined by the outer sections of the arm assembly.

4. The multi rotor aircraft fuselage of claim 3 wherein the mounting ring comprises a plurality of mounting ring voids.

5. The multi rotor aircraft fuselage of claim 4 wherein the lower hull and upper hull are vacuum formed over positive molds.

6. The multi rotor aircraft fuselage of claim 5 wherein the lower hull and upper hull are attached by solvent welding cement.
