Stowable lift rotors for VTOL aircraft

A stowable lift rotor is coupled to an airframe of a VTOL aircraft. The VTOL aircraft is convertible between a VTOL flight mode and a forward flight mode. The stowable lift rotor includes a lift arm. The proximal end of the lift arm is coupled to the airframe of the VTOL aircraft. The stowable lift...

description A stowable lift rotor is coupled to an airframe of a VTOL aircraft. The VTOL aircraft is convertible between a VTOL flight mode and a forward flight mode. The stowable lift rotor includes a lift arm. The proximal end of the lift arm is coupled to the airframe of the VTOL aircraft. The stowable lift rotor also includes a rotor assembly including rotor blades coupled to the distal end of the lift arm. The lift arm is movable between various positions including an extended position in the VTOL flight mode, a stowed position in the forward flight mode and intermediate positions therebetween such that the distance between the rotor assembly and the airframe is greater in the extended position than in the stowed position.
