Problems solved by technology

[0019] The number of variables considered in an e-VTOL project adds to its complexity
Evidence of this complexity is the variety of vehicle architectures visible in popular media, i.e., there is no consensus on the optimal vehicle topology

Embodiment Construction

[0032] attached figure 1 A VTOL aircraft 10 in the form of a multi-rotor vehicle is schematically shown having a fuselage 12 comprising a forward cabin area 12a for the pilot and passengers provided with transparent windows 12b and A door 12c for entry and exit from the interior cabin area 12a. A vertical stabilizer 14 located at the rear end of the fuselage 12 may be arranged to provide directional control about the Z (yaw) axis of the aircraft 10 . Rotation around the X (roll) axis and Y axis may be provided by suitable control surfaces (not shown) associated with the forward pair of port and starboard wings 16a, 16b and the rear pair of port and starboard wings 18a, 18b, respectively. (pitch) axis control. Laterally spaced ground rails 13a, 13b extend from the bottom of the fuselage 12 to support the aircraft when positioned on the ground.

[0033] according to Figure 1 to Figure 7 In the embodiment shown in , the aircraft 10 will include corresponding pairs of port si...

Abstract

The invention relates to a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft. The VTOL aircraft, especially electric VTOL (e-VTOL) aircraft include a fuselage (which may include a pair of ground-engaging skids) defining a longitudinal axis of the aircraft, forward and aft pairs of port and starboard aerodynamic wings extending laterally outwardly from the fuselage and forward and aft pairs of port andstarboard rotor pods each being in substantial alignment with the longitudinal axis of the fuselage. In specific embodiments, each of the forward and aft pairs of port and starboard rotor pods comprises a forward and aft pair of rotor assemblies.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is based on and claims domestic priority to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 846,426, filed May 10, 2019, and is related to U.S. Design Patent Application Serial No. 29 / 690,848, filed May 10, 2019, the above application The entire content of is expressly incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] Embodiments disclosed herein relate generally to vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft. According to certain embodiments disclosed herein, an electric VTOL (e-VTOL) aircraft is provided. Background technique [0004] Wingborn flight is a challenge, and its realization has been hampered by the lack of power-to-weight ratios associated with internal combustion engines available in the first decades of the 20th century. Vertical flight presents even greater challenges and requires extremely high overall system efficiency to sustain thrust flight, takeoff and landing. [0005] A...
