HYBRID GYRODYNE AIRCRAFT

A multi-rotor aircraft includes a fuselage, a propulsion engine coupled to the fuselage that generates thrust to propel the aircraft along a first vector during forward flight, and rotors coupled to the fuselage, each rotor comprising blades, each rotor coupled to a motor, and each motor configured to supply power to and draw power from the coupled rotor. The aircraft includes a flight control system configured to control the motors coupled to the rotors in a power managed regime in which a net electrical power, consisting of a sum of the power being supplied to or drawn from each rotor by its motor, is maintained within a range determined by a feedback control system of the flight control system. The flight control system can also be leveraged to adjust rotor control inputs to modify at least one of thrust, roll, pitch, or yaw of the multi-rotor aircraft. 一种多旋翼飞行器，包括机身、推进引擎以及旋翼；推进引擎耦接至机身，推进引擎在前向飞行期间产生推力以沿第一矢量推进飞行器；旋翼耦接至机身，每个旋翼包括桨叶，每个旋翼耦接至电机，并且每个电机被配置为将动力供应至耦接的旋翼并且从耦接的旋翼汲取动力。飞行器包括飞行控制系统，飞行控制系统被配置为在功率管理制度下控制耦接
