John 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

John Quincy Adams - "In what light soever we regard the Bible, whether with reference to revelation, to history, or to morality, it is an invaluable and inexhaustible mine of knowledge and virtue. So great is my veneration for the Bible, that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hopes that they will prove useful citizens to their country and respectable members of society. I speak as a man of the world to men of the world; and I say to you, Search the Scriptures! The Bible is the book of all others, to be read at all ages, and in all conditions of human life; not to be read once or twice or thrice through, and then laid aside, but to be read in small portions of one of two chapters every day, and never to be intermitted, unless by some overruling necessity."

TSVLS
(these are not contra rotating and not counter rotating rotors) This craft has a single lift rotor located above vertical airfoils controlling the torque by creating horizontal lift in an anti torque direction. The torque control comes from vertical airfoils arrayed beneath the lift rotor, creating "horizontal lift" using the downdraft.
Passive Torque Control
As the lift rotor lifts more weight vertical airfoils generate more downdraft which creates more "horizontal lift" and more anti torque force, so the configuration, passively and constantly remains torque stabilized regardless of power or load changes with only minor trim adjustments.
The VTOL crafts and UAVs shown are meant to travel at a maximum of 70 mph, not hundreds of mph, just above treetop, so there are no tricky airflows or separations to consider.
The torque on the VTOL prototype above is controlled with an array of variable and fixed pitch, vertical airfoils beneath the lift rotor (the top rotor is the steer rotor, whose torque is also controlled) using the downdraft to create "horizontal lift" in and anti torque rotational direction.
The Original TSVLS is only available through this website.
Simplicity, Safety, Extreme Dependability
Low Cost to Own and Operate, the TSVLS module has torque control built into it, so when the load and power requirements change in flight, the torque/anti torque forces stay in balance. It does this without tail rotors, contra or counter rotating propellers.

Vertical Flight for everyone!
The means to make the flying car (The Hovercopter) a safe, dependable, affordable reality has arrived!
Once you see the video, you have just become one of the first witnesses to the torque control system that will lessen airport security scares, remotely deliver life saving goods and medicine to remote locations, provide for search and rescue, boarder patrol, emergency evacuation, allow people to live anywhere they choose (the edge of a cliff or the deepest woods, as well as sight seeing, pleasure flying, and sport, local and regional air transportation from your vented carport to the neighborhood grocery store and back. VTOL has no need for airports. The TSVLS has no exposed rotor blades and can take off and land in any 10' clearing.
Military: The TSVLS would make and excellent defensive platform, because of its stability under changing load and power and its shrouded rotors. It could rise from the middle of a remote compound just high enough to use laser guided weapons, night vision, and computer programing to detect and kill anything outside of a certain radius and inside of a perimeter. This would put and end to "swarm attacks" the enemy has been using for a hundred years to overwhelm, kill and leave before help can arrive.

Dwight D. Eisenhower - A friend wrote of him. "(He) is a student of the Bible and quite often uses various portions of scripture. One of his favorites is Proverbs 7:1-3. It has been a privilege and an inspiration to be with him, and he very frankly states that he owes much to his fine mother, who insisted that he get a thorough knowlede of the scriptures in his youth."

How The TSVLS Works
The TSVLS uses the downdraft created by a single lift rotor, lifting a load, to generate anti torque forces by creating "horizontal lift" in the opposite rotational direction from the torque forces using vertical airfoils.
"Horizontal lift" is created by vertical airfoils arrayed beneath a lift rotor within a Type "B" duct or shroud. A type "B" duct increases the thrust/lift by 40% according to Hiller. (Hiller Flying Platform)

Original BodyCopter prototype, circa 2001 - Current configuration has a shroud around the lift rotor, with vertical airfoils inside the shroud creating horizontal lift, which can be seen in the photo gallery.
