TORC (Torque Operated Rotor Control)

Aircraft using TORC technology benefit from having rotatable motors and variable pitch blades without the need for actuators or complex mechanisms.

Nacelle rotation and blade pitch are actuated by rotor torque.

Motor direction is changed to go from vertical to horizontal flight. Simpler configurations may use a bidirectional propeller to accommodate motor reversal.
