| Title: | THRUST VECTORING IN AERIAL VEHICLES | |||||||||||
| Abstract: | An aerial vehicle comprising an aerofoil (2), a generally forward facing propeller (10), a drive motor (6) arranged to drive the propeller about a drive axis to generate thrust, and mounting means (32) on which the propeller is pivotably mounted so that the drive axis can be moved relative to the aerofoil thereby to vary the direction of the thrust, the vehicle further comprising thrust control means (14, 18) arranged to control pivoting of the propeller so as to control the direction of the thrust, thereby to control the direction of travel of the vehicle. | |||||||||||
