Abstract:
1. A personal air vehicle apparatus, the apparatus comprising: a. a fuselage having a longitudinal axis, said longitudinal axis corresponding to a fore and an aft direction; b. a central unit attached to said fuselage, said central unit defining an axis of rotor tilt, said axis of rotor tilt being movable with respect to said fuselage between a tandem position in which said axis of rotor tilt is generally parallel to said longitudinal axis and a side-by-side position in which said axis of rotor tilt is generally normal to said longitudinal axis; c. a first rotor and a second rotor, said first and said second rotors being operably attached to said central unit, said first rotor being configured to rotate about a first rotor axis of rotation, said second rotor being configured to rotate about a second rotor axis of rotation, said first and said second rotor axes of rotation being in a spaced apart relation with respect to said axis of rotor tilt; d. said first and said second rotor axes of rotation being tiltable about said axis of rotor tilt between a vertical position and a horizontal position when said axis of rotor tilt is in said side-by-side position, said first and said second rotor axes of rotation being generally parallel and in combination describing a plane, said plane being generally parallel to said longitudinal axis when said first and said second rotor axes of rotation are in said horizontal position, said plane being generally normal to said longitudinal axis when said rotor axes of rotation are in said vertical position; e. a wing, said wing being attached to said central unit,
