Abstract
'Apparatus, systems, and methods are contemplated for electric powered vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft engineered to carry safely carry at least 500 pounds (approx. 227 kg). It is contemplated that one or more rotors generate a significant amount of lift (e.g., 70%) during rotorborne flight (e.g., vertical takeoff, hover, etc), and tilt to provide forward propulsion during wingborne flight. The rotors preferably employ individual blade control, and are powered by electric motors supplied by dedicated batteries. The aircraft may include a fuselage, at least one wing, and a nacelle assembly comprising a static portion and a tilting portion. The tilting portion supports multiple electric motors and a rotor, all configured to tilt together for transition between flight modes. Separate batteries are positioned within the wing and nacelle to power respective motors.'
