flying instrument without wings

Abstract

The invention relates to a wingless aircraft (1) having a plurality of lift rotors (3) driven by electric motors and rotating about different rotor axes (2). The flight instrument (1) has at least one energy store (21) for supplying the electrical energy necessary for operating the lift rotor (3), at least one control mechanism (22) for actuating the lift rotor (3) ) and for communicating with a ground station, and at least two camera mechanisms (4) for detecting panoramic images. The smallest spherical rotor envelope (5) enclosing all lift rotors (3) has a larger volume than the smallest spherical camera envelope (6) enclosing all cameras The camera lens (7) of the mechanism (4). The camera mechanism (4) opens up a viewing space, wherein the viewing space surrounds the entire flight instrument (1), and wherein the lift rotor (3) is outside the viewing space.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a wingless aircraft having a plurality of lift rotors driven by electric motors and rotating about different rotor axes, wherein the aircraft has at least one energy store For supplying the electrical energy necessary for operating the lift rotor, at least one control device for actuating the lift rotor and for communicating with a ground station, and at least two camera devices for detecting panoramic images. Background technique [0002] Such an unmanned and remotely controlled aerial vehicle from the ground station, such as a quadcopter, is used to generate an aerial image panorama. For this purpose, in known aircraft devices, a plurality of camera units are usually arranged on the frame of the aircraft device, wherein the camera units are arranged as far as possible such that the field of view of the camera units is relative to all The flying devices are spaced one above the other so that the entire surroundings of the fly...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] For this reason, the flying instruments known from the prior art are not suitable for taking and producing panoramas, for example, when flying close to buildings, when flying over buildings or, for example, also flying over trees or the like , since the object to be imaged is often outside the field of view of the camera in this type of recording, so that the object can only be partially imaged accordingly, and at each point in time of the flyby The generation of a complete panoramic picture of the surroundings of the above-mentioned flight instruments is not feasible or is only feasible to a limited extent
