摘要: A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft (10) includes a fuselage and first and second forward wings (20, 22), each wing (20, 22) having a fixed leading edge and a trailing control surface (50) which is pivotal about a generally horizontal pivot axis. The aircraft (10) includes first and second electric motors (60) each having rotors (70), the electric rotors (70) being pivotal with the trailing control surface (50) between a first position in which each rotor (70) has a generally vertical axis of rotation, and a second position in which each rotor (70) has a generally horizontal axis of rotation, a control system (90) is configured to selectively operate the first electric motor (60) and the second electric motor (60) at different rotational speeds to generate a turning moment to pivot the control surface (50) about the pivot axis (33).

摘要: A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft (10) comprises a fuselage (24) first and second forward wings (20, 22) and first and second rearward wings (30, 32), each wing having a fixed leading edge (25, 35) and a trailing control surface (50) which is pivotal about a generally horizontal axis. Electric rotors (60) are mounted to the wings (20, 22, 30, 32), the electric rotors (60) being pivotal with the trailing control surface (50) between a first position in which each rotor (60) has a generally vertical axis of rotation, and a second position in which each rotor (60) has a generally horizontal axis of rotation; wherein at least one of the wings (20, 22, 30, 32) has a first and a second electric rotor (60) which are each mounted having non-parallel axes of rotation so that the thrust lines of the first and second electric rotors are different.

摘要: An aircraft structure (10) comprising a fuselage (24), first and second forward wings (20, 22) mounted to and/or extending from opposing sides of the fuselage (24),
a continuous rear wing span (34) defining first and second rear wings (30, 32) and a central static connecting portion (36),
a first wing connecting member (42) extending between the first forward wing (20) and the first rear wing (30),
a second wing connecting member (42) extending between the second forward wing (22) and the second rear wing (32),
wherein the rear wing span (34) is supported by a centrally located V tail joint defined by first and second angularly inclined arms (100, 110),
first and second electric motors each having rotors, are mounted to each wing (20, 22, 30, 32), each rotor is pivotal between a first configuration for vertical flight, and a second configuration for forward flight.-
