Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure belongs to the field of small aircraft manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a vertical shoulder-mounted small electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft and a vertical small electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft. Background Technology
[0002] Several "flying motorcycle"-style aircraft currently available both domestically and internationally consist of an X-shaped support frame with an electric power unit (one motor and one propeller) at each of the four ends, or two electric power units (two motors and two propellers) mounted vertically. A seat is installed above the intersection of the X-frames, allowing a rider to sit on it. Flight is achieved by simultaneously adjusting the speeds of the two front-to-back or two left-to-right motors, creating a tilt angle. Turning is achieved by simultaneously adjusting the speeds of diagonal motors to generate torque through a speed difference. However, the inventors discovered during development that this type of aircraft suffers from drawbacks, including a high center of gravity, poor flight stability, low safety, relatively long reaction time, and insufficient agility in flight maneuvers.
[0003] Currently, there are similar aircraft in China, with a cockpit installed below the center point of the X-axis. The rest of the structure and control method are the same as the aforementioned design. During the development process, the inventors discovered that although this type of aircraft solved the problems of center of gravity and safety, it also suffered from relatively long reaction times and insufficient agility in flight maneuvers. There are also aircraft abroad that use a mesh support structure or multiple Y-shaped structures forming a large circular support. Electric power units are installed at each intersection point, and the control method is similar to the aforementioned design, achieving forward, backward, left, and right flight and turning by simultaneously controlling multiple rotational speeds. During the development process, the inventors discovered that this type of aircraft suffers from overly complex structures, relatively long reaction times in flight maneuvers, and insufficient agility in flight maneuvers.
[0004] Similarly, there are also fuel-powered aircraft both domestically and internationally. Each end of a horizontal bar is equipped with a fuel engine that drives a propeller for flight; the engines can be tilted. During development, the inventors discovered that controlling the rotational speed of the fuel-powered system was more difficult than controlling an electric system, resulting in poor flight stability. Furthermore, the control system was simple, requiring both hands to be used simultaneously to adjust the engine tilt. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this disclosure provides a small, upright, shoulder-mounted electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft and a small, upright electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this disclosure is:
[0007] A small, upright, shoulder-mounted electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft, comprising a frame, a drive mechanism, and a control mechanism.
[0008] The frame includes a horizontal support device and a vertical support device connected to the horizontal support device, and a drive mechanism is connected to each end of the horizontal support device.
[0009] The control mechanism includes a propulsion device for driving the drive mechanism and a control device for controlling the direction of the aircraft's movement.
[0010] A vertical small electric vertical takeoff and landing (EVTOL) aircraft is disclosed. The aircraft includes multiple vertical shoulder-back small EVTOL aircraft as described above, with a cabin provided between the multiple vertical shoulder-back small EVTOL aircraft; a longitudinal support rod connects two adjacent frames, and a longitudinal connecting rod connects two adjacent motor swing arms.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this disclosure through the above technical solution are:
[0012] The aircraft disclosed herein has a simple structure, a small and lightweight fuselage, and can fly in confined spaces while being easy to load. Because the two sets of propellers can tilt forward and backward, it is agile in flight, with sensitive and timely flight maneuvers, making it very easy to control. It can be operated with one hand, while the other hand can perform work tasks. With the addition of a flight control module and a GPS positioning module, it can achieve hands-free and unmanned remote-controlled flight. It can be used in scenarios such as high-altitude rescue, maritime rescue, personnel and cargo transportation between ships at sea, tourism and exploration, short-distance cargo transportation, and police response, patrol, and duty. It can be applied in civilian, police, military, engineering construction, and field operations. Attached Figure Description

One end of the first motor swing arm 18 is fixedly connected to the first bushing 10. The other end of the first motor swing arm 18 is connected to the first vertical connecting rod 19.
[0025] The structure of the second drive mechanism is similar to that of the first drive mechanism. Specifically, the second drive mechanism includes a second motor 115, a second propeller 116, a second motor crossarm, and a second motor swing arm 118. The second motor crossarm is composed of a second motor fixing plate 117 and a second bushing 110. The second motor fixing plate 117 and the second bushing 110 are fixedly connected. Two second motors 115 are symmetrically mounted vertically on the end of the second motor fixing plate 117 away from the second bushing. The output shaft of the second motor 115 is connected to the second propeller 116. The end of the second bushing 110 away from the second motor fixing plate is sleeved on the bearing at the other end of the first crossbar 11. One end of the second motor swing arm 118 is fixedly connected to the second bushing 110. The other end of the second motor swing arm 118 is connected to the second vertical connecting rod 119.
[0026] The control mechanism includes a first vertical link 19, a second vertical link 119, a horizontal link 111, a joystick 112, a joystick longitudinal axis 113, and a joystick transverse axis 114. One end of the first vertical link 19 is connected to a first motor swing arm 18, and the other end is connected to one end of the horizontal link 111. One end of the second vertical link 119 is connected to a second motor swing arm 118, and the other end is connected to the other end of the horizontal link 111. One end of the joystick longitudinal axis 113 is connected to the middle of the horizontal link 111, and the other end is connected to the joystick 112. A joystick longitudinal axis sleeve 120 is provided in the middle of the joystick longitudinal axis 113. Joystick transverse axes 114 are fixedly connected to both sides of the joystick longitudinal axis sleeve 120. The other end of the joystick transverse axis 114 is inserted into the joystick transverse axis sleeve 121 provided at the lower end of the vertical support rod.
[0027] The working process of the upright, shoulder-mounted, small electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft proposed in this embodiment is as follows:
[0028] During flight, the pilot carries the aircraft on their back and fastens their seatbelt, becoming one with the aircraft, and holds the control stick 112 with one hand. When stationary, the two sets of propellers connected to the motors rotate with their rotating surfaces facing upwards. Starting the motors and gradually increasing the throttle of the motor's electronic speed controller, the airflow generated by the relative rotation of the two propellers is vertically downwards, producing a reaction force relative to the aircraft, i.e., upward lift. Once the motors reach sufficient speed, the propellers generate enough lift to drive the aircraft to take off vertically and ascend. After ascending to a certain altitude, the pilot sits in the seat and gradually pushes the control stick 112 forward to a certain angle. At this point, the control stick 112 presses the longitudinal axis 113 of the control stick to tilt around the transverse axis 114, causing the other end of the longitudinal axis 114 to rise horizontally. The horizontal link 111 pushes the first vertical link 19 and the second vertical link 119 upwards. The first vertical link 19 pushes the first motor swing arm 18, and the second vertical link 119 pushes the second motor swing arm 118. The first motor swing arm 18 drives the first motor horizontal arm 17 to tilt around the first horizontal bar 11 on the frame, so that the propeller surface of the first propeller 16 also gradually tilts forward. The second motor swing arm 118 drives the second motor horizontal arm 117 to tilt around the first horizontal bar 11 on the frame, so that the propeller surface of the second propeller 116 also gradually tilts forward. At this time, the airflow direction gradually changes from vertical downward to a backward tilt angle, generating upward and backward reaction forces so that the aircraft can maintain altitude and fly forward. The tilt angle of the propeller surfaces is determined by the angle of the control stick. When the control stick 112 is pushed to the left, it will cause the right end of the lateral linkage to rise and the left end to fall, causing the right propeller surface to tilt forward and the left propeller surface to tilt backward. The aircraft will turn left in place until the control stick is pulled back to the origin. The control stick can move in all directions. Pulling it backward will cause both propeller surfaces to tilt backward and the aircraft to fly backward. When pushed to the left front, the right propeller tilts forward at a larger angle and the left propeller tilts forward at a slightly smaller angle, causing the aircraft to fly forward and turn left. Similarly, pushing the control stick to the right front will cause the aircraft to fly forward and turn right. Pulling it to the left rear or right rear will cause the aircraft to fly backward and turn left or right.
[0029] The upright, shoulder-mounted, small electric vertical takeoff and landing (EVTOL) aircraft proposed in this embodiment also includes a control system. The control system comprises a flight control module, a GPS positioning module, a wireless communication module, and a battery module. The flight control module is connected to the first motor 15 and the second motor 115, respectively, and is used to control the operation of the first motor 15 and the second motor 115. The GPS positioning module is connected to the flight control module and is used to collect the aircraft's position information. The wireless communication module is connected to the flight control module and is used to receive remote control commands. The flight control module controls the aircraft's flight according to the received control commands. The battery module provides power to the entire aircraft and can be a battery pack.

Specifically, the second drive mechanism includes a second motor 215, a second propeller 216, a second motor crossarm, and a second motor swing arm 218. The second motor crossarm is composed of a second motor fixing plate 217 and a second bushing 210. The second motor fixing plate 217 and the second bushing 210 are fixedly connected. Two second motors 215 are symmetrically mounted vertically on the end of the second motor fixing plate 217 away from the second bushing. The output shaft of the second motor 215 is connected to the second propeller 216. The end of the second bushing 210 away from the second motor fixing plate is sleeved on the bearing at the other end of the first crossbar 21. One end of the second motor swing arm 218 is fixedly connected to the second bushing 210. The other end of the second motor swing arm 218 is connected to the second vertical connecting rod 219.
[0035] The control mechanism includes a first vertical link 29, a second vertical link 219, a horizontal link 211, a joystick 212, a joystick longitudinal axis 213, and a joystick transverse axis 214. One end of the first vertical link 29 is connected to a first motor swing arm 28, and the other end is connected to one end of the horizontal link 211.

A joystick longitudinal axis sleeve 220 is provided in the middle of the joystick longitudinal axis 213. Joystick transverse axes 214 are fixedly connected to both sides of the joystick longitudinal axis sleeve 220. The other end of the joystick transverse axis 214 is inserted into the joystick transverse axis sleeve 221. The two joystick transverse axis sleeves 221 are fixedly connected to the other ends of the third vertical link 224 and the fourth vertical link 225, respectively.
[0036] The working process of the upright, shoulder-mounted, small electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft proposed in this embodiment two is as follows:
[0037] During flight, the pilot carries the aircraft on their back and fastens their seatbelt, becoming one with the aircraft. They hold the control stick 212 with one hand. When the motors are stationary, the two sets of propellers connected to the motors rotate upwards. Starting the motors and gradually increasing the throttle of the electronic speed controller, the airflow generated by the relative rotation of the two propellers is vertically downwards, creating a reaction force relative to the aircraft—an upward lift. Once the motors reach sufficient speed, the propellers generate enough lift to drive the aircraft vertically upwards. After ascending to a certain altitude, the pilot sits in their seat and gradually pushes the control stick 212 forward to a certain angle. At this point, the control stick 212 presses the longitudinal axis 213 to tilt around the transverse axis 214, causing one end of the longitudinal axis 213 to rise upwards. The transverse link 211 pushes the first vertical link 29 and the second vertical link 219 upwards. The first vertical link 29 pushes the first motor swing arm 28, and the second vertical link 219 pushes the second motor swing arm 218. The first motor swing arm 28 drives the first motor horizontal arm 27 to tilt around the first horizontal bar 21 on the frame, causing the propeller surface of the first propeller 26 to gradually tilt forward. The second motor swing arm 218 drives the second motor horizontal arm 217 to tilt around the first horizontal bar 21 on the frame, causing the propeller surface of the second propeller 216 to gradually tilt forward. At this time, the airflow direction gradually changes from vertical downward to a backward tilt angle, generating upward and backward reaction forces so that the aircraft can maintain altitude and fly forward. The tilt angle of the propeller surfaces is determined by the angle of the control stick. When the control stick 212 is pushed to the left, it will cause the right end of the lateral linkage to rise and the left end to fall, causing the right propeller surface to tilt forward and the left propeller surface to tilt backward. The aircraft will turn left in place until the control stick is pulled back to the origin. The control stick can move in all directions. Pulling it backward will cause both propeller surfaces to tilt backward and the aircraft to fly backward. When pushed to the left front, the right propeller tilts forward at a larger angle and the left propeller tilts forward at a slightly smaller angle, causing the aircraft to fly forward and turn left. Similarly, pushing the control stick to the right front will cause the aircraft to fly forward and turn right. Pulling it to the left rear or right rear will cause the aircraft to fly backward and turn left or right.
[0038] The upright, shoulder-mounted, small electric vertical takeoff and landing (EVTOL) aircraft proposed in Embodiment 2 also includes a control system. The control system comprises a flight control module, a GPS positioning module, a wireless communication module, and a battery module. The flight control module is connected to the first motor 25 and the second motor 215, respectively, and is used to control the operation of the first motor 25 and the second motor 215. The GPS positioning module is connected to the flight control module and is used to collect the aircraft's position information. The wireless communication module is connected to the flight control module and is used to receive remote control commands. The flight control module controls the aircraft's flight according to the received control commands. The battery module provides power to the entire aircraft and can be a battery pack.

[0046] The working process of the upright, shoulder-mounted, small electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft proposed in Embodiment 3 is as follows:
[0047] During flight, the pilot carries the aircraft on their back and fastens their seatbelt, becoming one with the aircraft. They hold the control stick 312 with one hand. When the motors are stationary, the two sets of propellers connected to the motors rotate upwards. Starting the motors and gradually increasing the throttle of the motor's electronic speed controller, the airflow generated by the relative rotation of the two propellers is vertically downwards, creating a reaction force relative to the aircraft—an upward lift. Once the motors reach sufficient speed, the propellers generate enough lift to drive the aircraft vertically upwards. After ascending to a certain altitude, the pilot sits in their seat and gradually pushes the control stick 312 forward to a certain angle. At this point, the control stick 312 presses the longitudinal axis 313 to tilt around the transverse axis 314. The other end of the longitudinal axis 314 raises the transverse connecting rod 311, which in turn pushes the first... Vertical link 39 and second vertical link 319. The first vertical link 39 pushes the first motor swing arm 38 through the first longitudinal link 330 and the first corner swing arm 327. The second vertical link 319 pushes the second motor swing arm 318 through the second longitudinal link 331 and the second corner swing arm 328. The first motor swing arm 38 drives the first motor horizontal arm 37 to tilt within the first frame bushing 310, causing the propeller surface of the first propeller 36 to gradually tilt forward. The second motor swing arm 318 drives the second motor horizontal arm 317 to tilt within the second frame bushing 329, causing the propeller surface of the second propeller 316 to gradually tilt forward. At this time, the airflow direction gradually changes from vertical downward to a backward tilt angle, generating upward and backward reaction forces so that the aircraft can maintain altitude and fly forward. The tilt angle of the propeller surfaces is determined by the angle of the control stick. When the control stick 312 is pushed to the left, it will cause the right end of the lateral linkage to rise and the left end to fall, causing the right propeller surface to tilt forward and the left propeller surface to tilt backward. The aircraft will turn left in place until the control stick is pulled back to the origin. The control stick can move in all directions. Pulling it backward will cause both propeller surfaces to tilt backward and the aircraft to fly backward. When pushed forward to the left, the right propeller tilts forward at a larger angle and the left propeller tilts forward at a slightly smaller angle, causing the aircraft to fly forward and turn left. Similarly, pushing the control stick forward to the right will cause the aircraft to fly forward and turn right. Pulling it to the left rear or right rear will cause the aircraft to fly backward and turn left or right.
[0048] The upright, shoulder-mounted, small electric vertical takeoff and landing (EVTOL) aircraft proposed in Embodiment 3 also includes a control system. The control system comprises a flight control module, a GPS positioning module, a wireless communication module, and a battery module. The flight control module is connected to the first motor 35 and the second motor 315, respectively, and is used to control the operation of the first motor 35 and the second motor 315. The GPS positioning module is connected to the flight control module and is used to collect the aircraft's position information. The wireless communication module is connected to the flight control module and is used to receive remote control commands. The flight control module controls the aircraft's flight according to the received control commands. The battery module provides power to the entire aircraft and can be a battery pack.

The second motor crossarm is composed of a second motor fixing plate 417 and a second bushing 418. The second motor fixing plate 417 and the second bushing 418 are fixedly connected. Two second motors 415 are symmetrically mounted vertically on the end of the second motor fixing plate 417 away from the second bushing.

[0055] The working process of the upright, shoulder-mounted, small electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft proposed in Embodiment 4 is as follows:
[0056] During flight, the pilot carries the aircraft on their back and fastens their seatbelt, becoming one with the aircraft, and holds the control stick with one hand. With the motors stationary, the left and right propellers rotate upwards. Starting the motors and gradually increasing the throttle of the electronic speed controller, the airflow generated by the relative rotation of the two propellers is vertically downwards, creating a reaction force and upward lift relative to the aircraft. Once the motors reach sufficient speed, the propellers generate enough lift to propel the aircraft vertically upwards. After ascending to a certain altitude, the pilot sits in their seat and gradually pushes the control stick forward to a certain angle. At this point, the control stick presses against the control stick crossarm, causing it to rotate around the bushing. The front end of the left fixed lever pulls the lower cable of the right motor crossarm, tilting the motor forward; the front end of the right fixed lever pulls the lower cable of the left motor crossarm, tilting the left motor forward. Simultaneously, both motor crossarms tilt around the frame crossarm, and the propeller surfaces also gradually tilt forward. At this time, the airflow... The propeller tilt angle gradually increases from vertical downwards, generating upward and backward reaction forces that allow the aircraft to maintain altitude while flying forward. The magnitude of the propeller tilt angle is determined by the magnitude of the control stick's movement angle. When the control stick is pushed to the left, the right fixed stick releases the upper right cable and the lower left cable, while the left fixed stick pulls the upper left cable and the lower right cable, causing the right propeller blade to tilt forward and the left propeller blade to tilt backward. The aircraft will turn left in place until the control stick is pulled back to its origin. The control stick can move in all directions: forward, backward, left, and right. Pulling it backwards causes both propeller blades to tilt backwards, and the aircraft flies backwards. Pushing it forward to the left causes the right propeller to tilt forward at a larger angle and the left propeller blade to tilt forward at a slightly smaller angle, causing the aircraft to fly forward while turning left. Similarly, pushing the control stick forward to the right causes the aircraft to fly forward while turning right. Pulling it backwards to the left or right causes the aircraft to fly backwards while turning left or right.
[0057] The upright, shoulder-mounted, small electric vertical takeoff and landing (EVTOL) aircraft proposed in Embodiment 4 also includes a control system. The control system comprises a flight control module, a GPS positioning module, a wireless communication module, and a battery module. The flight control module is connected to the first motor 45 and the second motor 415, respectively, and is used to control the operation of the first motor 45 and the second motor 415. The GPS positioning module is connected to the flight control module and is used to collect the aircraft's position information. The wireless communication module is connected to the flight control module and is used to receive remote control commands. The flight control module controls the aircraft's flight according to the received control commands. The battery module provides power to the entire aircraft and can be a battery pack.

The other end of the first crossbar 52 is also connected to the top of the second vertical support rod 54. Two longitudinal arms of the bushings connect the two frame bushings to the two vertical support rods, causing the frame bushings to extend forward; a seat belt (not shown in the figure) is installed in the middle of the first vertical support rod 53 and the second vertical support rod 54; a seat is connected between the bottom of the first vertical support rod 53 and the second vertical support rod 54; a third vertical support rod (not shown in the figure) is installed on the seat and tilted forward; the first vertical support rod and the second vertical support rod can extend downward and bend to the left rear and right rear respectively; the third vertical support rod can extend downward and bend forward; these three vertical support rods constitute a three-point landing gear.
[0062] The first drive mechanism includes a first motor 55, a first propeller 56, a first motor cross arm 57, and a first servo motor 58; one end of the first motor cross arm 57 is provided with a motor mounting plate, and two first motors 55 are symmetrically mounted on the motor mounting plate of the first motor cross arm 57. The output shaft of the first motor 55 is connected to the first propeller 56, and the other end of the first motor cross arm 57 passes through the first frame bushing 510 and is connected to the output shaft of the first servo motor 58.
[0063] The structure of the second drive mechanism is similar to that of the first drive mechanism. Specifically, the second drive mechanism includes a second motor 515, a second propeller 516, a second motor crossarm 517, and a second servo motor 518. One end of the second motor crossarm 517 is provided with a motor mounting plate. Two second motors 515 are symmetrically mounted on the motor mounting plate of the second motor crossarm 517. The output shaft of the second motor 515 is connected to the second propeller 516. The other end of the second motor crossarm 517 passes through the second frame bushing 512 and is connected to the output of the second servo motor 518.

[0065] The working process of the upright, shoulder-mounted, small electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft proposed in this embodiment five is as follows:
[0066] During flight, the pilot carries the aircraft on their back and fastens their seatbelt, becoming one with the aircraft, and holds the joystick with one hand. When the motors are stationary, the two sets of propellers rotate upwards. Starting the motors and gradually increasing the throttle of the electronic speed controller, the airflow generated by the relative rotation of the two propellers is vertically downwards, creating a reaction force and upward lift relative to the aircraft. Once the motors reach sufficient speed, the propellers generate enough lift to propel the aircraft vertically upwards. After ascending to a certain altitude, the pilot sits in their seat and gradually pushes the joystick forward to a certain angle. The two servos drive the two motor arms to tilt forward, and the propeller blades also gradually tilt forward. At this point, the airflow direction changes from vertically downwards to a backward tilt angle, generating upward and backward reaction forces that allow the aircraft to maintain altitude while flying forward. The magnitude of the propeller tilt angle is determined by the joystick's movement angle. When the joystick is pushed to the left, the servo will cause the right propeller to tilt forward and the left propeller to tilt backward, and the aircraft will turn left in place until the joystick is pulled back to the starting point. The joystick can move in all directions: forward, backward, left, and right. Pulling it backward will cause both propeller surfaces to tilt backward and the aircraft to fly backward. Pushing it to the left front will cause the right propeller to tilt forward at a larger angle and the left propeller to tilt forward at a slightly smaller angle, causing the aircraft to fly forward and turn left at the same time. Similarly, pushing the joystick to the right front will cause the aircraft to fly forward and turn right at the same time. Pulling it to the left rear or right rear will cause the aircraft to fly backward and turn left or right at the same time.
[0067] The upright, shoulder-mounted, small electric vertical takeoff and landing (EVTOL) aircraft proposed in Embodiment 5 also includes a control system. The control system comprises a flight control module, a GPS positioning module, a wireless communication module, and a battery module. The flight control module is connected to a first motor 55, a second motor 515, a first servo motor 58, a second servo motor 518, and an electronic joystick 513. It controls the operation of the first motor 55 and the second motor 515, and also receives motion signals from the joystick, transmitting them to the first servo motor 58 and the second servo motor 518 via signal lines. The first servo motor 58 and the second servo motor 518 execute actions according to the signal commands. The GPS positioning module is connected to the flight control module and is used to collect the aircraft's position information. The wireless communication module is connected to the flight control module and is used to receive remote control commands. The flight control module controls the aircraft's flight according to the received control commands. The battery module provides power to the entire aircraft and can be a battery pack.

[0071] The first drive mechanism includes a first motor 65, a first propeller 66, a first motor crossarm, and a first motor swing arm 68. The first motor crossarm is composed of a first motor fixing plate 67 and a first bushing 60. The first motor fixing plate 67 and the first bushing 60 are fixedly connected.

Specifically, the second drive mechanism includes a second motor 615, a second propeller 616, a second motor crossarm, and a second motor swing arm 618. The second motor crossarm is composed of a second motor fixing plate 617 and a second bushing 610. The second motor fixing plate 617 and the second bushing 610 are fixedly connected. Two second motors 615 are symmetrically mounted vertically on the end of the second motor fixing plate 617 away from the second bushing.

[0073] The control mechanism includes a first vertical link 69, a second vertical link 619, a first lateral telescopic link 611, a joystick 612, a joystick longitudinal axis 613, and a joystick transverse axis 614. One end of the first vertical link 69 is connected to a first motor swing arm 68, and the other end is connected to the rear end of the side of the first wing 625 via a ball joint.

The second wing 626 can tilt around the second wing crossbar 624.
[0074] The working process of the upright, shoulder-mounted, small electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft proposed in Embodiment Six is as follows:
[0075] During operation, the pilot sits in the seat and fastens the seatbelt, holding the control stick 612 with one hand. With the motor off, the rotating surfaces of the two propellers face upwards, and the leading edges of the two wings point upwards (the wing sides are vertically upwards). Starting the motor and gradually increasing the throttle of the electronic speed controller, the airflow generated by the relative rotation of the two propellers is vertically downwards, creating a reaction force relative to the aircraft, i.e., upward lift. Once the motor reaches sufficient speed, the propellers generate enough lift to drive the aircraft to take off vertically. After ascending to a certain altitude, the pilot sits in the seat and gradually pushes the control stick 612 forward to a certain angle. At this point, the control stick 612 presses the longitudinal axis 613 to tilt around the transverse axis 614, simultaneously pushing the first lateral retractable link 611, which in turn tilts the first wing 625 and the second wing 626 forward. Because the rear ends of the two wings are connected to the two vertical links via ball joints, the two wings simultaneously push the first vertical link 69 and the second vertical link 619. The first vertical link 69 pushes the first motor swing arm 68, and the second vertical link 619 pushes the second motor swing arm 618. The first motor swing arm 68 drives the first motor horizontal arm 67 to tilt around the first horizontal bar 61 on the frame, causing the propeller surface of the first propeller 66 to gradually tilt forward. The second motor swing arm 618 drives the second motor horizontal arm 617 to tilt around the first horizontal bar 61 on the frame, causing the propeller surface of the second propeller 616 to gradually tilt forward. At this time, the airflow direction gradually changes from vertical downward to a backward tilt angle, generating upward and backward reaction forces that allow the aircraft to maintain altitude while pulling the two wings forward. The wings gradually generate enough lift to support the load, so that the motor can achieve flight with relatively small power output. The tilt angles of the propeller surface and the wing are determined by the movement angle of the control stick. When the control stick 612 is pushed to the left, it will cause the right end of the first lateral telescopic link to rise and the left end to fall, causing the right wing and propeller surface to tilt forward and the left propeller surface to tilt backward. The aircraft will turn left in place until the control stick is pulled back to the origin. The control stick can move in all directions. Pulling it backward will cause both wings and propeller surfaces to tilt backward and the aircraft will fly backward. When pushed forward to the left, the right wing and propeller tilt angle is larger and the left wing and propeller surface tilt angle is smaller, causing the aircraft to fly forward and turn left. Similarly, pushing the control stick forward to the right will cause the aircraft to fly forward and turn right. Pulling it to the left rear or right rear will cause the aircraft to fly backward and turn left or right.
[0076] The upright, shoulder-mounted, small electric vertical takeoff and landing (EVTOL) aircraft proposed in Embodiment Six also includes a control system. The control system comprises a flight control module, a GPS positioning module, a wireless communication module, and a battery module. The flight control module is connected to the first motor 65 and the second motor 615, respectively, and is used to control the operation of the first motor 65 and the second motor 615. The GPS positioning module is connected to the flight control module and is used to collect the aircraft's position information. The wireless communication module is connected to the flight control module and is used to receive remote control commands. The flight control module controls the aircraft's flight according to the received control commands. The battery module provides power to the entire aircraft and can be a battery pack.
[0077] Example 7
[0078] This embodiment seven provides a vertical small electric vertical take-off and landing (EVTOL) aircraft, which includes three vertical shoulder-back small EVTOL aircraft as described in embodiment five. Cargo boxes or passenger cabins are installed on the frames of the three vertical shoulder-back small EVTOL aircraft. Two parallel longitudinal support rods are connected between two adjacent frames. The first motor cross arm of each first drive mechanism is connected to a first motor swing arm. A longitudinal connecting rod is connected between two adjacent first motor swing arms. The second motor cross arm of each second drive mechanism is connected to a second motor swing arm. A longitudinal connecting rod is also connected between two adjacent second motor swing arms.
[0079] The working process of the upright small electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft proposed in Embodiment 7 is as follows:
[0080] During flight, the pilot sits in the cockpit and fastens their seatbelt, holding the electronic joystick with one hand. When the motors are stationary, the rotating surfaces of the two propellers face upwards. As the motors are started, the throttle of the electronic speed controller is gradually increased. The airflow generated by the rotating propellers is vertically downwards, creating a reaction force relative to the aircraft, i.e., upward lift. Once the motors reach sufficient speed, the propellers generate enough lift to propel the aircraft vertically upwards. After ascending to a certain altitude, the pilot sits in their seat and gradually pushes the control stick forward to a certain angle. At this point, the control stick presses down on its longitudinal axis, causing it to tilt around its transverse axis. The transverse axis raises the transverse linkage, which pushes two vertical linkages upwards. These linkages then push two right-angle swing arms, which in turn push the two motor swing arms forward, simultaneously tilting the motor transverse arms forward and causing the propeller surfaces to gradually tilt forward. The airflow direction gradually changes from vertically downwards to a backward tilt, generating upward and backward reaction forces that allow the aircraft to maintain altitude while flying forward. The magnitude of the propeller tilt angle is determined by the magnitude of the control stick's movement. Pushing the joystick to the left will cause the right end of the lateral linkage to rise and the left end to fall, tilting the right propeller forward and the left propeller backward. The aircraft will then turn left in place until the joystick is pulled back to its starting position. The joystick can move in all directions: forward, backward, left, and right. Pulling it backward will tilt both propellers backward, causing the aircraft to fly backward. Pushing it forward to the left will cause the right propeller to tilt forward at a larger angle and the left propeller to tilt forward at a slightly smaller angle, causing the aircraft to fly forward while turning left. Similarly, pushing the joystick forward to the right will cause the aircraft to fly forward while turning right. Pulling it backward to the left or right will cause the aircraft to fly backward while turning left or right.
[0081] Example 8
[0082] This embodiment eight provides a vertical small electric vertical take-off and landing (EVTOL) aircraft, which includes three vertical shoulder-back small EVTOL aircraft as described in embodiment three. Cargo boxes or passenger cabins are installed on the frames of the three vertical shoulder-back small EVTOL aircraft. Two parallel longitudinal support rods are connected between two adjacent frames. The first motor cross arm of each first drive mechanism is connected to a first motor swing arm. A longitudinal connecting rod is connected between two adjacent first motor swing arms. The second motor cross arm of each second drive mechanism is connected to a second motor swing arm. A longitudinal connecting rod is also connected between two adjacent second motor swing arms.
[0083] The working process of the upright small electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft proposed in Embodiment 8 is as follows:
[0084] During flight, the pilot sits in the cockpit and fastens their seatbelt, holding the electronic joystick with one hand. When stationary, the two propellers connected to the motors rotate upwards. Starting the motors and gradually increasing the throttle of the electronic speed controller, the airflow generated by the propellers rotates vertically downwards, creating a reaction force relative to the aircraft—an upward lift. Once the motors reach sufficient speed, the propellers generate enough lift to propel the aircraft vertically upwards. After ascending to a certain altitude, the pilot sits in their seat and gradually pushes the joystick forward to a certain angle. At this point, the joystick tilts around its horizontal axis, causing one end of the vertical axis to rise upwards. A lateral link pushes upwards the first and second vertical links. The first vertical link pushes the first motor swing arm, and the second vertical link pushes the second motor swing arm. The first motor swing arm causes the first motor horizontal arm to tilt around the first horizontal bar on the frame, causing the propeller surface of the first propeller to gradually tilt forward. The second motor swing arm causes the second motor horizontal arm to tilt around the first horizontal bar on the frame, causing the propeller surface of the second propeller to gradually tilt forward. At this time, the airflow direction gradually changes from vertically downward to a backward tilt angle, generating upward and backward reaction forces that allow the aircraft to maintain altitude while flying forward. The tilt angle of the propeller surfaces is determined by the angle of the control stick. Pushing the control stick to the left will cause the right end of the lateral linkage to rise and the left end to fall, causing the right propeller surface to tilt forward and the left propeller surface to tilt backward. The aircraft will turn left in place until the control stick is pulled back to the origin. The control stick can move in all directions: forward, backward, left, and right. Pulling it backward will cause both propeller surfaces to tilt backward and the aircraft to fly backward. Pushing it forward to the left will cause the right propeller to tilt forward at a larger angle and the left propeller surface to tilt forward at a slightly smaller angle, causing the aircraft to fly forward and turn left. Similarly, pushing the control stick forward to the right will cause the aircraft to fly forward and turn right. Pulling it backward to the left or right will cause the aircraft to fly backward and turn left or right.
[0085] As can be seen from the above description, one or more of the above embodiments achieve the following technical effects:
[0086] The aircraft disclosed herein has a simple structure, a small and lightweight fuselage, and can fly in confined spaces while being easy to load. Because the two sets of propellers can tilt forward and backward, it is agile in flight, with sensitive and timely flight maneuvers, making it very easy to control. It can be operated with one hand, while the other hand can perform work tasks. With the addition of a flight control module and a GPS positioning module, it can fly without manual operation or under unmanned remote control. This aircraft can be used in scenarios such as high-altitude rescue, maritime rescue, personnel and cargo transportation between ships at sea, tourism and exploration, short-distance cargo transportation, and police response, patrol, and duty.
