AeroVantage ~ PropRotor

Overview:

The Fundamental Principal of the AeroVantage Proprotor:

1x2 PropRotor:

Cruse: One pair of horizontally aligned counterrotating coaxial rotors during cruise. 1x2 Cruise Sketch

2x4 PropRotor:

Cruse: Two horizontally aligned counterrotating coaxial rotors during cruise. 2x4 Cruise Sketch

Hover: Four independent conventional rotors (Quadrotor) during hover. 2x4 Hover Sketch

Features:

1x2 PropRotor

2x4 PropRotor

4 PropRotors; A tractor PropRotor on the leading edge of both wings and a pusher PropRotor at the trailing edge of both wings.
The two tractor PropRotors are counter-rotating. The PropRotors on the same side are counter-rotating. In other words the diagonally located PropRotors rotate in the same direction.
All PropRotors have collective variable pitch (similar to a variable pitch propeller), but no individual blade pitch.
