    Abstract: The invention relates to an aircraft which can both take off and land vertically and can hover and also fly horizontally at a high cruising speed. The aircraft has a support structure, a wing structure, at least three and preferably at least four lifting rotors and at least one thrust drive. The wing structure is designed to generate a lifting force for the aircraft during horizontal motion. To achieve this the wing structure has at least one mainplane provided with a profile that generates dynamic lift. The wing structure is preferably designed as a tandem wing structure. Each of the lifting rotors is fixed to the support structure, has a propeller and is designed to generate a lifting force for the aircraft by means of a rotation of the propeller, said force acting in a vertical direction. The thrust drive is designed to generate a thrust force on the support structure, said force acting in a horizontal direction. The lifting rotors can have a simple construction, i.e. they can have a simple rigid propeller for example, and a vertical take-off or hovering of the aircraft can be controlled, in a similar manner to quadcopters, by a simple control of the speeds of the lifting rotors. High cruising speeds can be achieved as a result of the additional horizontally acting thrust drive.

    Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种能够垂直起飞和着陆的飞机,其可以悬停并且以高巡航速度水平飞行。 飞行器具有支撑结构,翼结构,至少三个,优选至少四个提升转子和至少一个推力驱动。 机翼结构被设计成在水平运动期间为飞机产生提升力。 为了实现这一点,翼结构具有至少一个主平面,其具有产生动态升力的轮廓。 机翼结构优选地被设计为串联翼结构。 每个提升转子固定在支撑结构上,具有螺旋桨,并被设计成通过螺旋桨的旋转而产生用于飞行器的提升力,所述力作用在垂直方向上。 推力驱动器被设计成在支撑结构上产生推力,所述力在水平方向上作用。 提升转子可以具有简单的结构,例如它们可以具有简单的刚性推进器,并且可以通过简单地控制速度来简单地控制飞机的垂直起飞或悬停 提升转子。 由于额外的水平作用推力驱动,可以实现高巡航速度。
