Abstract:
The present invention relates to an aircraft comprising a fuselage (100) comprising a fuselage axis (101), a first wing arrangement (110) and a second wing arrangement (120). The first wing arrangement (110) is mounted to the fuselage (100) such that the first wing arrangement (110) is tiltable around a first longitudinal wing axis (111) of the first wing arrangement (110) and such that the first wing arrangement (110) is rotatable around the fuselage axis (101). The second wing arrangement (120) comprises at least one propulsion unit (122), wherein the second wing arrangement (120) is mounted to the fuselage (100) such that the second wing arrangement (120) is tiltable around a second longitudinal wing axis (121) of the second wing arrangement (120) and such that the second wing arrangement (120) is rotatable around the fuselage axis (101). The first wing arrangement (110) and the second wing arrangement (120) are adapted in such a way that, in a fixed-wing flight mode, the first wing arrangement (110) and the second wing arrangement (120) do not rotate around the fuselage axis (101). The first wing arrangement (110) and the second wing arrangement (120) are further adapted in such a way that, in a hover flight mode, the first wing arrangement (110) and the second wing arrangement (120) are tilted around the respective first longitudinal wing axis (111) and the respective second longitudinal wing axis (121) with respect to its orientations in the fixed-wing flight mode and that the first wing arrangement (110) and the second wing arrangement (120) rotate around the fuselage axis (101).
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) aircraft. The VTOL aircraft generates lift through a helicopter-shaped rotor when taking off, then flies forward. For further efficient flight at middle or low speed, the VTOL aircraft generates thrust in order to propel the fuselage by a propeller engine which is mounted on the center of the main wing or the fuselage. In addition, the VTOL aircraft can fly forward while generating rearward thrust to help propel the fuselage by turning by 90 degrees the rotors mounted on both sides of the main wings toward the flying direction.
Abstract:
This invention is regarding a VTOL aircraft that is designed to enable it to take off by generating lift through rotary wings like a helicopter and then moving forward; and when it flies at high speeds, it is able to use jet engines so that it can generate lift through fixed wings while the rotary wings are transformed into fixed wings to generate lift by adjusting the angles between the individual wings thereby enhancing the efficiency.
Abstract:
A single pilot aircraft that can be carried and bound to a pilot, comprises a turbojet engine, two propulsion air-outlet nozzles which are arranged on either side of the turbojet engine and which can be adjusted to change the direction of the emerging airflow, a fuel tank and a set of hand operated control lever which are linked to propulsion air-outlet nozzles for varying the orientation of the propulsion air outlet nozzles.
Abstract:
The invention concerns an aircraft with vertical take-off and landing having a passenger cabin (3) remaining horizontal whatever the angle of inclination of the aircraft, characterised in that the support stands (69), (70), (71) and (72) in contact with the ground are supported each by a beam bearing a change-over flap (77), (78), (79) and (80) pivoting about an axis perpendicular to the aircraft axis and located in the vertical extension of the beam, the aircraft being vertical.
Abstract:
The present disclosure describes autonomous flight safety systems (AFSSs) that incorporate an autonomous flight termination unit (AFTU) enabling AFSS monitoring for various termination conditions that are used to activate a flight termination system (e.g., in the event a termination condition is detected). Such termination conditions include boundary limit detection (e.g., whether a vehicle position is outside or projected outside a planned flight envelope), as well as body instability detection (e.g., whether a pitch rate and yaw rate exceed some threshold indicative of vehicle instability). For instance, an AFTU may incorporate a three-axis gyroscope sensor and may implement instability detection processing based on information obtained via the sensor. Instability detection processing may include, for example, a BID algorithm that may be implemented by an AFTU to monitor angular rates of the vehicle, to determine if the vehicle is no longer under stable control, and to issue termination commands when termination conditions are detected.
