Problems solved by technology

None of these known devices has been commercially successful because their disadvantages outweigh their advantages, and there is still room for improvement in such vertical landing gear
[0005] Existing solutions on the market cause multiple problems: expensive, bulky, limited safety, short range and short time between overhaul (TBO) and very noisy
Therefore, no suitable VTOL device has been developed with commercial success or application flexibility to carry payloads in the range of 60 to 150 kg (approximately the average adult body weight)

Embodiment Construction

[0034] figure 1 A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) apparatus 100 is shown in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. The device 100 is generally sized and configured to carry an adult user 2 , and this load may be supplemented with an additional payload 190 . Accordingly, the combined passenger and payload weight carried by the device may be in the range of about 50 to 150 kg. However, in other embodiments, the device may be larger or smaller and configured to carry more or less payload. Conceivable payloads are roughly up to 150 kg user and 20 kg payload.

[0035] The thrust source of the VTOL device is the fan 110 . The fan 110 preferably has a pair of counter-rotating blade sets 113a and 113b (blade sets). However, in some embodiments a single set of rotating blades 113a or 113b may be envisaged. Each blade set is usually mounted on a corresponding rotor. In alternative arrangements, one or two pairs of counter-rotating blade sets, 113a and 113b and 113c a...

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a vertical take-off and landing, VTOL, flying machine. The machine includes a ducted fan having an intake side and an outlet side, at least two co-axial rotors configured tocontra-rotate about a fan axis X when driven in rotation; a primary drive source arranged substantially co-axially with the ducted fan and to the outlet side of the ducted fan; and first and second thrust air ducts configured to split thrust from the ducted fan into a pair of thrust streams and to guide the two respective thrust streams to opposite respective sides of the primary drive source, theducts being rotatable to direct motion of the machine. A number of configurations of secondary drive sources and alternative thrust sources are provided for improved safety.

Description

[0001] field of invention [0002] The present invention relates to vertical landing gear. In particular, the present invention relates to personal vertical landing devices and improvements to their efficiency and safety. Background technique [0003] Over time, many different kinds of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft have been tested and demonstrated. Challenges for such machines include: difficulty in maintaining flight control, very low fuel efficiency, very high noise levels, and the danger of such a device losing power, especially if the parachute is not effective as a vehicle or its occupants. Hazards at extremely low altitudes for safety devices or payloads. [0004] Commercially known devices such as the EHANG 184 Passenger Transporter are similar in construction to known consumer drones in that multiple propellers are arranged in a vertical configuration at the corners of the machine. Workhorse Group Inc. markets a similar vehicle called the Surefly. ...
