Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of model aircraft technology and relates to a hand-launched model aircraft with a taxiing function. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of hand-launched model aircraft, conventional designs have significant limitations. Traditional hand-launched aircraft rely on being thrown by hand for takeoff, eliminating the need for a runway. Therefore, their fuselage design doesn't consider damage during landing, typically relying on belly friction for landing. This landing method easily leads to fuselage wear and shortens the model's lifespan. While conventional hand-launched gliders have a single wheel on their belly to facilitate a gliding motion after landing, reducing friction damage to some extent, this single-wheel structure only assists with landing and cannot enable takeoff. This severely restricts the takeoff and landing methods and applicable environments for hand-launched model aircraft.
[0003] In existing technologies, hand-launched model aircraft lack effective takeoff and landing capabilities on hard surfaces, making it difficult to meet the diverse usage requirements. Furthermore, existing wheeled designs either fail to integrate with the fuselage shape, leading to increased drag, or lack ground maneuverability, affecting operational flexibility and controllability. Therefore, how to enable hand-launched model aircraft to achieve takeoff and landing on hard surfaces while maintaining a streamlined fuselage shape, reducing drag, and improving ground handling performance has become a pressing technical problem to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A hand-launched model aircraft with a taxiing function includes: a model aircraft body, wherein a pair of parallel-arranged belly wheels are provided on the belly of the model aircraft body, and the main body of the belly wheels is embedded in the fuselage and does not protrude from the streamlined outline of the fuselage, forming a semi-exposed and semi-hidden design of the wheel body.
[0006] The tail of the model aircraft is equipped with a steering wheel and a steering mechanism; the steering mechanism synchronizes the steering wheel with the rudder of the model aircraft.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a mounting groove for the belly wheel to be inserted is formed on the belly of the model aircraft body; a wheel cover is provided on the mounting groove to achieve semi-concealed coverage of the belly wheel.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the steering mechanism includes a connecting frame and a drive rod. The connecting frame is installed at the rudder position of the model aircraft body, and the two ends of the drive rod are respectively connected to the connecting frame and the steering wheel.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By combining the dual under-fuselage wheels with the tail steering wheel, the limitation of traditional hand-launched model aircraft that can only rely on under-fuselage friction for landing is changed; the semi-concealed under-fuselage wheels and tail steering wheel form a stable three-point support, enabling the model aircraft to complete take-off and landing on hard ground, greatly expanding the applicability of take-off and landing environments; and the wheel structure enables ground taxiing instead of traditional under-fuselage friction, effectively reducing airframe wear during landing and extending the service life of the model aircraft.
[0010] Compared to the conventional hand-launched glider design where a single wheel can only assist in landing, this solution, through innovation in steering mechanism and wheel layout, enables hand-launched model aircraft to perform the entire gliding operation on hard surfaces, balancing functionality and aerodynamic performance.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0018] In the embodiments of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0019] This utility model provides a reference. Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, a hand-launched model aircraft with a taxiing function includes: a model aircraft body 1, on which a pair of parallel-arranged belly wheels 2 are provided. The main body of the belly wheels 2 is embedded in the fuselage and does not protrude from the streamlined outline of the fuselage, forming a semi-exposed and semi-hidden design. While satisfying the requirement of hand-launched model aircraft to taxi and land on hard ground, the belly wheels 2 are integrated with the fuselage body. The semi-hidden design of the belly wheels 2 can make the overall fuselage more streamlined and aesthetically pleasing, and significantly reduce air resistance during flight.
[0020] In order to achieve the turning effect during taxiing, the tail of the model aircraft body 1 is equipped with a steering wheel 3 and a steering mechanism 5. The steering mechanism 5 synchronizes the steering wheel 3 with the rudder 4 of the model aircraft body 1 to achieve the turning effect of the steering wheel 3, so that the model aircraft can achieve precise turning when taxiing on the ground, which significantly improves the operational flexibility and controllability of the model aircraft when taking off and landing on hard surfaces.
[0021] Furthermore, the belly of the model aircraft body 1 is formed with a mounting groove 11 for the belly wheel 2 to be inserted; the mounting groove 11 is provided with a wheel cover 6 to achieve semi-concealed coverage of the belly wheel 2. The wheel cover 6 adopts a streamlined design that fits the fuselage as a whole, so that the belly wheel 2 is set more in line with the streamlined outline of the fuselage.
[0022] Furthermore, the steering mechanism 5 includes a connecting frame 52 and a drive rod 51. The connecting frame 52 is installed on the rudder 4 of the model aircraft body 1. The two ends of the drive rod 51 are connected to the connecting frame 52 and the steering wheel 3 respectively. When the rudder 4 is deflected by the servo motor, the connecting frame 52 swings synchronously and transmits torque through the intermediate transmission link, driving the bottom steering wheel 3 to complete the steering action.
[0023] It should also be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
[0024] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use this application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, this application is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
