Method of steering aircraft, and aircraft
Abstract:
A method of steering an aircraft, and an aircraft comprising a supporting structure, at least one utility space, at least two propellers whose axles are arranged horizontally, and a driving mechanism to rotate each propeller. The blade angles of at least one propeller of the aircraft are adjusted as a function of a rotation angle of the propeller such that the blow power of the propellers provides the aircraft with a lifting force, and after take-off of the aircraft the blade angles of the propellers are adjusted such that the blow power of the propellers provides the aircraft with horizontal flight.
