ROTORCRAFT WITH INTEGRATED LIGHT PIPE SUPPORT MEMBERS

摘要

A radio controlled model rotorcraft implemented with features improving ease of flight and flight performance by increasing structural stability, increasing rotorcraft visibility and orientation awareness through the use of multifunctioning, configurable, and aesthetically pleasing components, while also increasing resistance to damage from crashes through use of impact and vibration absorbing components.

主权项

1. A radio controlled model rotorcraft, comprising:
a plurality of rotor assemblies; a plurality of arms; one or more light sources; and a plurality of support members, each configured to couple to an arm along at least a portion of the length of the arm, providing structural support to the arm; wherein at least a portion of the support member, extending along substantially the entire length of the support member, is composed of an at least semi-transparent material; and wherein at least a portion of the semi-transparent material is exposed to at least one of the one or more light sources, transferring the light received substantially throughout the portion of the support member composed of an at least semi-transparent material, illuminating the support member.
