Abstract:
A vertical lift aircraft 10 comprising an aircraft body 12 and a lifting assembly 14 is presented. The lifting assembly 14 comprises a frame 23 wherein at least one airfoil assembly which includes a plurality of airfoils 42 attached to a drive ring 43 is secured. As the drive ring 43 rotates, the airfoils 42 move through the air and create lift. The pitch of the airfoils 42 or blades can be fixed or variable. The drive ring 43 is rotated by a band 52 which is in frictional contact with the inner surface of the drive ring 43. The band 52 is rotated by at least one pair of rollers 53 which are in frictional contact with the band 52.
