| Patent | Granted | Product | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11519418 | 12/6/2022 | HySwarm | The convertible ducted fan engine includes a fluid-propulsion configuration in which the mechanical fan rotates freely with respect to the shroud to produce thrust through fluid flow, and a drive-wheel configuration in which the shroud rotates about the rotational axis. |
| 11454245 | 9/27/2022 | HD1 | A ducted fan engine capable of converting between a typical fluid-propulsion configuration and a friction-based drive-wheel configuration |
| 11333032 | 5/27/2022 | HD1 | A linear drive motor configured to translate the drive shaft and mechanical fan in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the shroud |
| 11305863 | 4/19/2022 | HyALTA | A variable geometry aircraft that is capable of morphing its shape from a symmetric cross-section buoyant craft to an asymmetric lifting body and even to a symmetric zero lift configuration |
| 10532803 | 1/14/2020 | HyALTA | Variability of the structure and the flexible envelope allows the aircraft to adjust its aspect ratio along with the camber of the upper and/or lower surfaces to achieve varying shapes |
| 10377465 | 8/13/2019 | HyALTA | Movement of the longerons adjusts the camber of the upper and/or lower surfaces to achieve varying shapes of the lifting-body |
| 10180083 | 1/15/2019 | HD1 | The convertible ducted fan engine includes a fluid-propulsion configuration in which the mechanical fan rotates freely with respect to the shroud to produce thrust through fluid flow, and a drive-wheel configuration in which the mechanical fan is in contact with the shroud, thereby causing concurrent rotation of the shroud and mechanical fan when the mechanical fan rotates about the rotational axis |
| 10287000 | 5/14/2019 | HyALTA | The variability of the structure and the flexible envelope allows the aircraft to adjust its aspect ratio along with the camber of the upper and/or lower surfaces to achieve varying shapes. This transformation changes both the lift and drag characteristics of the craft and may be accomplished while the craft is airborne. |
| 9623954 | 4/1/2017 | HyALTA | A semi rigid airship with movable longerons. Movement of the longerons adjusts the camber of the upper and/or lower surfaces to achieve varying shapes of the lifting-body. This transformation changes both the lift and drag characteristics of the craft to alter the flight characteristics. |
