TSVLS Announces U.S. Patent Pending for Revolutionary Torque Stabilized Vortex Lifting System

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - July 18, 2025 - PRLog -- The TSVLS addresses a long-standing challenge in aerospace: controlling 100% of the torque generated by a single lift rotor using only its downdraft, within the same diameter as the rotor itself. By integrating a lift rotor over vertical airfoils within a type "B" shroud, the system creates "horizontal lift" in an anti-torque direction, achieving perfect torque balance with minimal trim adjustments, even under varying power and load conditions. Testing demonstrates that the TSVLS increases lift/thrust by up to 40% compared to traditional rotor systems, while requiring less power than conventional methods like tail rotors or contra-rotating props.

"This patent-pending milestone marks a transformative leap in VTOL technology," said Charles H Medlock, Owner at TSVLS. "The TSVLS is designed to make vertical flight more accessible, cost-effective, and reliable, opening doors for applications ranging from personal transport to defense and commercial lifting."

Potential applications for the TSVLS include unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), 4- to 6-passenger VTOL family flyers, ultra-light aircraft, indoor radio-controlled hobby crafts, and industrial lifting platforms. Its compact, dependable design simplifies maintenance and enhances fuel efficiency, making VTOL practical for a broader market. The system's ability to stabilize torque without additional hardware addresses key barriers to affordability and safety in vertical flight.

TSVLS is actively pursuing partnerships to advance the technology toward commercialization, with plans to conduct further testing and develop prototypes for real-world applications. This innovation positions TSVLS as a leader in the growing urban air mobility (UAM) and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) markets.
