  • Wingcopter The internet publication of Wingcopter, www.wingcopter.com, shows an aerodynamic wing body provided with a plurality of actively controlled, pivotally connected thrust propellers. Further known aerodynamic assemblies typically comprise a wing body having a plurality of integrated thrust propellers. In all of these prior art systems, an active actuated connection is present between the wing and thrust propellers, necessitating a control loop, which makes these systems inherently slow (as there will always be delays between control inputs and response from the actuators involved).
