Aerial saw

1. An aerial saw assembly comprising:

(a) an elongated arm having a proximal end and a distal end;

(b) a saw blade rotatably connected to the elongated arm between its proximal and distal ends;

(c) an engine enclosure having a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the distal end of the engine enclosure is coupled to the proximal end of the elongated arm; and

(d) a saw attachment member connected to the saw assembly between the saw blade and the proximal end of the engine enclosure;

wherein the saw attachment member is connected to a support structure at a first connection point.

2. The aerial saw assembly of claim 1 , wherein the elongated arm distally extends beyond the saw blade.

3. The aerial saw assembly of claim 1 , wherein the saw attachment member is connected to the engine enclosure between its proximal and distal ends.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the saw attachment member is connected to the saw assembly at about a center of gravity of the saw assembly.

5. The aerial saw assembly of claim 1 , further comprising an elongated stem having first and second ends, wherein the first end of the stem is connectable to an aerial vehicle, wherein the second end of the stem is connectable to the saw assembly at the first connection point.

6. The aerial saw assembly of claim 5 , further comprising an elongated brace member having two ends and connected on one end to a point at or about the proximal end of the engine enclosure and on the other end to a second connection point on the stem, wherein the second connection point on the stem is located between the first end of the stem and the second end of the stem.

7. The aerial saw assembly of claim 6 , further comprising an adjustable coupling connectable to the brace member and the stem at the engine enclosure.

8. The aerial saw assembly of claim 6 , wherein a deflector sheet is disposed within the space defined by the brace member, the stem and the engine enclosure.

9. The aerial saw assembly of claim 8 , wherein the deflector sheet substantially fills the space defined by the brace member, the stem and the engine enclosure.

10. The aerial saw assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:

(e) an engine enclosed inside of the engine enclosure; and

(f) a drive mechanism coupled to the engine, wherein the drive mechanism extends from the engine along the elongated arm to the saw blade; and

wherein the engine operates the saw blade via the drive mechanism.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the saw blade is substantially circular and positioned in a plane substantially parallel to the elongated arm.

12. The aerial saw assembly of claim 6 , wherein the elongated arm is positioned at an angle between about 10 degrees and about 45 degrees downward relative to a horizontal plane.

13. The aerial saw assembly of claim 1 , wherein the saw attachment member comprises a frame having a plurality of frame members attached to the engine enclosure, the frame further including a saw attachment connector.

14. The aerial saw assembly of claim 5 , wherein the saw attachment member comprises a frame having a plurality of frame members attached to the engine enclosure, the frame further including a stem connection member.

15. The aerial saw assembly of claim 14 , further comprising a yoke connected at the second end of the stem, the yoke connectable to the saw attachment connector.

16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the saw attachment member is connected to the saw assembly between the center of gravity of the saw assembly and the proximate end of the engine enclosure.

17. The aerial saw assembly of claim 5 , wherein the elongated arm is positioned at an angle between about 10 degrees and about 45 degrees downward relative to horizontal.
