Disney Files Patent for Flying Robots at the Theme Parks. In 2022, Kevin Feige joined Josh D’Amaro on stage at D23 Expo to announce an exciting new expansion coming to Avengers Campus in Disneyland California. King Thanos and the Multiverse will come to a new attraction where guests can ride the Quinjet. Could this further expansion also have flying robots? Could Iron Man fly over Avengers Campus?
In a newly filed patent by Disney Enterprise Inc. for a flying robot that “can be designed, built, and operated/controlled to maintain convincing character movement and appearance”.

Disney Files Patent for Flying Robots
“A robot including a hybrid fan-based and fluid-based propulsion system to provide thrust, such as deceleration during fall to create a smooth landing or to provide a quick reduction in velocity, and to provide actuation/controlled motion, such as to hover after quick deceleration and to control orientation or pose. The hybrid propulsion system uses discharging of pressurized fluid and exhausted gas (or fluid in some cases) from ducted fans (or propellers, impellers, and the like) to provide controlled thrust and/or lift forces.
The hybrid propulsion system uses pressurized fluid for generating larger or primary thrust and quick changes in velocity. The hybrid propulsion system includes a fan-based propulsion assembly with ducted fans that use environmental air (or fluids) to provide lower or secondary thrust. Both types of propulsion can be integrated into a robot or robotic figure to move the robot during flight (e.g., during falling or hovering).”
This technology is still years away from actuality, but so is the expansion to Avengers Campus. We already know there will be a flying Baymax over Sleeping Beauty Castle for the upcoming Disney100 fireworks in Disneyland, but could we see more coming to Disney California or other Disney Parks across the globe?
