AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the speed of the vehicle may need to be limited to around 30 mph (48 km / h)
Additional spoilers etc. can be added to generate additional downforce, however such spoilers can negatively affect the flight characteristics of the vehicle by increasing drag and reducing lift during flight

Embodiment Construction

[0054] Figure 1-Figure 4 A multimodal vehicle 2 is shown. The vehicle 2 is configured to operate in a first mode as a fixed wing aircraft and in a second mode as a land vehicle (ie a flying car). The vehicle is reconfigurable to allow operation in a first mode and a second mode.

[0055] figure 1 with figure 2 The vehicle 2 is shown in a first mode (eg, flight mode), in which the vehicle 2 is configured to operate as a fixed-wing aircraft 4 (eg, in a similar manner to a conventional aircraft). The vehicle 2 comprises one or more lift generating surfaces which generate lift when the vehicle 2 travels in the first direction 6, thereby allowing the vehicle 2 to fly.

[0056] image 3 with Figure 4 The vehicle 2 is shown in a second mode (eg, driving mode) in which the vehicle 2 is configured to operate as a ground vehicle 8 (eg, in a manner similar to a car or the like). The vehicle includes one or more ground engaging features (eg, wheels 24 , 24 a ) configured to driv...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a multi-modal carrier (2) operable in a first mode as a fixed wing aircraft and reconfigurable to be operable in a second mode as a ground vehicle. The carrier comprises first (12) and second ends (14) configured to operate in a first direction (6), with the first end leading the second end, in the first mode and in a second direction (10), with the second end (14) leading the first end (12), in normal operation in the second mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a multi-mode vehicle, and more particularly to a multi-mode vehicle operable in a first mode as an aircraft and a second mode as a ground vehicle. Background technique [0002] Aerodynamic considerations are very different when designing a flying vehicle compared to a car. For example, aircraft are typically designed to provide an optimal amount of lift (ie, upward force), while automobiles are typically designed to avoid lift and provide an optimal amount of downforce (ie, downward force). Balancing these issues places a heavy burden on design considerations, and often a compromise must be made between producing lift and downforce, so a vehicle may produce suboptimal lift in flight mode and insufficient downforce in drive mode. pressure. [0003] Suboptimal lift generation can impair the vehicle's aerodynamics during flight and can lead to aerodynamic instability, high stall speeds, and overall poor performance. Thi...
