Abstract:
This disclosure is generally directed to a High Speed vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft that includes fixed wing flight capabilities. The High Speed VTOL aircraft may include at least two thrust producing rotors located equidistant from a longitudinal axis of the aircraft on a main wing, and at least two thrust producing rotors located equidistant from a longitudinal axis of the aircraft on a vertical wing. The rotors may be driven by electric motors. However, other power sources may be used such as combustion or hybrid engines. By adjusting the speed and/or the pitch of the rotors, the aircraft can transition from a vertical flight configuration to a horizontal flight configuration and back.

Claim (Index 17):
A method for flying a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft comprising:\n rotating a first variable speed rotor and a second variable speed rotor, the first and second variable speed rotors being coupled to a main wing and configured to rotate independently of each other; rotating a third variable speed rotor and a fourth variable speed rotor, the third and fourth variable speed rotors being coupled to a vertical wing and configured to rotate independently of each other; inducing a hover mode by rotating the first, second, third, and fourth variable speed rotors at a rate sufficient to create lift to overcome a weight of the aircraft; transitioning from the hover mode to a forward flight mode by adjusting the speed of at least the third or the fourth variable speed rotor; and upon approaching the forward flight mode, adjusting the speed of at least the third or the fourth variable speed rotors to substantially match the speed of the first and second variable speed rotors.
