Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices provide a vehicle, such as an aircraft, with rotors configured to function as a tri-copter for vertical takeoff and landing (“VTOL”) and a fixed-wing vehicle for forward flight. One rotor may be mounted at a front of the vehicle fuselage on a hinged structure controlled by an actuator to tilt from horizontal to vertical positions. Two additional rotors may be mounted on the horizontal surface of the vehicle tail structure with rotor axes oriented vertically to the fuselage. For forward flight of the vehicle, the front rotor may be rotated down such that the front rotor axis may be oriented horizontally along the fuselage and the front rotor may act as a propeller. For vertical flight, the front rotor may be rotated up such that the front rotor axis may be oriented vertically to the fuselage, while the tail rotors may be activated.

Claim (Index 1):
A tri-rotor vehicle, comprising:\n a wing having no rotors coupled thereto; a tail comprising two horizontal tail sections; a fuselage; two tail rotors coupled to the tail; wherein the two horizontal tail sections extend horizontally relative to the fuselage and from opposite sides of the fuselage, wherein each of the two tail rotors has a single corresponding respective horizontal tail section, and wherein each of the two tail rotors is coupled only to its own respective one of the two horizontal tail sections; and a front rotor coupled to the fuselage, wherein the front rotor is configured to tilt through a range of motion.
