Planform Morphing Airframe Rotor Disc Control  (No Swash Plate)

Spent a couple of years trying to prove this platform concept. It was intended to be a design for a manned platform, but right now ...small scale testing. One patent and a hand full of crashes to date...almost satisfied. Two separate airframes inter-connected. Some have called it weight shifting, but it's not the typical "linear shift" of weight within a rigid static airframe. ...example...weight shifts aft/up during forwar flight. Any change in weight results in airframe in flight reconfiguration changes at equal moments/span of motion of both airframes and rotor disc orientation. Small scale sling load test hopefully this next week.
