How about this puppy

It's a gyroplane with folding rotor. Just goes to prove that the patent
office is doing any "prior art" checks before they give the things out.


Did you read the claims? The patent could cover something like the
particular method for folding the rotors, the way the latch works, or some
bit of the design.

The description of the perfered embodyment may cover basic things like
gyrocopters and how they work, but the only thing that is actually protected
by the patent is what is in the clams.
