Articulated Ring Wing eVTOL Structure with Distributed Propulsion and Advanced Dynamic Payload Stabilization System and Integrated Energy Regeneration and Safety Systems

An innovative drone and eVTOL design characterized by its articulated ring-wing structure integrated with distributed propulsion systems and a dynamic payload stabilization mechanism. This invention addresses the longstanding trade-off between lift efficiency and maneuverability inherent in conventional multirotor and fixed-wing aerial robotics.

Combines ring-wing aerodynamics, high-efficiency axial-flux motors, active control tech, and regen capabilities to advance suitable human aerial mobility for cargo logistics and beyond. Significant dual-use potential in defence and commercial aviation.

I-C-2E™ (Induction–Coandă_efx–Entrainment) Thrust Multiplier Propulsion System — Model: AM-IC2E-1000-AXFX, Coreless Stator Series

Developed the I-C-2E™ Thrust Multiplier Propulsion System — a next-generation axial-flux coreless BLDC propulsion engine for eVTOL, advanced aerial robotics, and unmanned systems. The system leverages the Coandă effect and fluid entrainment principles to achieve significant thrust multiplication beyond conventional propeller efficiency limits.

The AM-IC2E-1000-AXFX Coreless Stator Series eliminates iron-core losses in the motor stator, dramatically reducing weight and heat generation while increasing torque density — a critical advantage for long-endurance agricultural and urban air mobility applications.

Core Mechanism
Coandă Effect Entrainment
The I-C-2E system exploits the Coandă effect to draw in and entrain ambient air, effectively multiplying thrust output beyond what the primary propulsive element alone generates.
Motor Architecture
Coreless Axial-Flux BLDC
The AM-IC2E-1000-AXFX eliminates the iron stator core, removing eddy-current and hysteresis losses. The result is an exceptionally lightweight, thermally efficient motor with superior power-to-weight ratio at high RPM.
Applications
eVTOL & Aerial Robotics
Designed for integration into the Aerial8 ring-wing eVTOL and AVIUS distributed propulsion platforms. Well-suited to agricultural drone sprayers, cargo UAVs, and high-endurance urban air mobility applications.
