Patent ID: 11225318

Abstract:
An electric, inductively-energized, multi-bladed, controllable-pitch propeller hub is configured with an internal battery, electronic control unit and electric internal reversible hubmotor, when energized by a voltage inducted across an air gap into an annulus of receiver coils that is mounted onto said propeller hub and when said propeller hub is attached to and operated with complementary electrical, electronic and mechanical components that enable wireless command signals, together forming a novel and versatile device whose operation can provide near-instantaneous modulation of aircraft thrust, lift and drag by the action of said propeller hub to actuate precise and equal changes to the pitch of each propeller blade through a full range of useful pitch settings, both during rotation of said propeller hub and when said propeller hub is stationary, with an innovation including a coaxial driveshaft that facilitates the removal and installation of said propeller hub from a propmotor.
