    摘要: A vertical take-off and landing aircraft includes a propulsion mechanism that generates lift and thrust, a main frame that supports seating and a landing undercarriage, a sub-frame which supports the propulsion mechanism and is arranged so as to be swingable back and forth relative to the main frame, a motive power supply unit supported by the main frame and supplying motive power to the propulsion mechanism, a control stick connected to the sub-frame, and a main wing arranged on the propulsion mechanism, wherein the main wing is formed to be retracted to a position not interfering with an air flow of the propulsion mechanism in a normal time and to be movable to a position where lift is generated when thrust is lost. Gliding is made possible even if thrust is lost while increasing in size of a fuselage is avoided.

    摘要: There is provided a vertical take-off and landing aircraft including: a propulsion mechanism for generating lift and thrust; a power supply unit (e.g. an engine as a power source) for supplying power to the propulsion mechanism; a main frame for supporting the engine, a seat, and a landing undercarriage; a sub-frame for supporting the propulsion mechanism; a frame coupling unit for rotatably coupling the main frame and the sub-frame; and a control stick connected to the sub-frame, so that an occupant sitting on a seat operates a control stick thereby to move the sub-frame relative to the main frame so as to change the orientation of the propulsion mechanism.

    摘要: A vertical take-off and landing aircraft includes a propulsion mechanism having a fan for generating lift and thrust, an engine for supplying motive power to the propulsion mechanism, a frame coupling the propulsion mechanism and the engine, seating connected to and suspended from the frame so as to be swingable back and forth relative to the frame, a control stick connected to the frame, and a landing undercarriage connected to the seating, wherein the propulsion mechanism is connected to the frame such that the drive shaft of the fan is directed vertically during landing, and the frame is moved relative to the seating by manipulating the control stick, to change the orientation of the propulsion mechanism. The thrust can be controlled with simple configuration, and take-off and landing can be performed safely even in a small space surrounded by obstacles.
