Embodiment Construction

[0068] figure 1 An exemplary multirotor aircraft 1 is shown with an aircraft airframe 2 . The aircraft body 2 defines a support structure, also referred to herein as the fuselage of the multirotor aircraft 1 .

[0069] The fuselage 2 has an extension in the longitudinal direction 1a and in the transverse direction 1b, and preferably defines at least an inner volume 2a suitable for transporting passengers, so that the multirotor aircraft 1 as a whole is suitable for transporting passengers. The inner volume 2 a is preferably also suitable for accommodating operating and electrical equipment, such as energy storage systems required for operating the multirotor aircraft 1 .

[0070] It should be noted that exemplary configurations of the inner volume 2a suitable for transporting passengers and also for accommodating operating and electrical equipment are readily available to those skilled in the art and are generally implemented to comply with applicable regulations in the trans...

Abstract

The invention is related to a shrouding 6d for interacting with at least one rotor assembly 7d, the shrouding 6d forming an air duct 15 that is associated with the at least one rotor assembly 7d and axially delimited by an air inlet region 20a and an air outlet region 20b, comprising a main load carrying primary structure 16 and a stiffening secondary structure 17 that encapsulates the main load carrying primary structure 16 at least partly, the stiffening secondary structure 17 comprising at least one inflexible lightweight volume material and being provided at least for reducing elastic movements of the main load carrying primary structure 16 under loading conditions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a shrouding for interacting with at least one rotor assembly. The invention also relates to a thrust generating unit for an aircraft comprising such a cover. Background technique [0002] An aircraft is generally equipped with one or more thrust generating units arranged to generate thrust in a predetermined direction during operation of the aircraft. In general, each thrust generating unit includes one or more rotors or propellers, usually enclosed in associated ducts or shrouds, to increase the corresponding output of the given thrust generating unit at a constant required power thrust. Accordingly, the corresponding rotor or propeller induced velocity can be used to additionally generate thrust from the duct or shroud. [0003] In general, a duct or shroud is defined by a closed, annular surface disposed about an associated rotor or propeller to enhance the respective aerodynamic characteristics and performance of the ass...
