Title:
ACTIVE GEOMETRIC EXOSKELETON WITH PSEUDO-RHOMBOHEDRAL ANNULAR FAIRING FOR GYROPENDULAR CRAFT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/060693
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to an active geometric exoskeleton device (FIG. l) for a multi environment, multi mode, vertical or horizontal take off and landing gyropendular piloted craft or drone with compensatory propulsion and fluidic gradient collimation capable of moving in the following various physical environments: on land, in the air, in or under the sea or in space, comprising an active pseudo-rhombohedral annular fairing which 1) protects the various propulsion units and the payload by absorbing impacts, 2) corrects the trim and reorientates the trajectory upon collisions with any obstacle in the physical environment or the terrain, such a craft being provided with upper, intermediate and lower propulsion units, and with a hollow annular vertebral structure incorporating a payload containing the application functions suited to various domains: 1) civil defence emergency preparedness in the context of search and rescue activities, 2) exploration, navigation, transport, surveillance, 3) detection of deposits of hydrocarbons or ores, of boreholes or pump holes on land, under water or in space, 4) supporting and stabilizing a mobile, free or tethered submerged pontoon for a wind turbine or a water turbine, 5) maintenance work, 6) endovascular or intra-cavity navigation and intravention during surgery, 7) land, aerial, underwater or space telecommunications, and 8) deployment of telecommunications infrastructure in free space.
