Tiltrotor aircraft having tiltable forward and aft rotors

This invention describes an aircraft that combines vertical takeoff and landing with forward flight. It uses two wings, each with a rotor at its front and back. For vertical lift, the front rotors tilt upwards and the rear rotors tilt downwards; for forward flight, the front rotors point forward and the rear rotors point backward. A computer system independently controls each rotor's speed and tilt, allowing for smooth transitions between flight modes, either through remote operation or autonomous control.

Why it matters: The rapid advancements in AI and machine learning for autonomous flight systems since 2021 could significantly enhance the capabilities and robustness of the claimed autonomous flight control, making complex transitions more reliable.
