[0002] In recent years, the technology of single-person aircraft has become increasingly mature, and a variety of configurations have been developed, including skateboard-type, backpack-type, multi-rotor-type, and ducted fan-type. These aircraft have the characteristics of small size, fast response, strong maneuverability, and strong environmental adaptability. Compared with traditional land, water, and air transport equipment, they have obvious advantages in ultra-short-range and cross-complex land (sea) rapid delivery. Currently, the backpack-type single-person aircraft commonly seen abroad strap multiple engines to the pilot's arms, and carry the fuel and main engine in the form of a backpack behind him. The entire device is composed of multiple parts, which is cumbersome to put on and take off. The engine nozzle is close to the pilot's legs, posing installation risks. Multi-rotor aircraft refer to the design concept of drones. The aircraft is large in size, making it difficult to achieve portability.

Its plate-like structure effectively reduces structural weight. Furthermore, a flexible oil bag is integrated into the skateboard's main body for a lightweight design. This design allows for single-person flight under various load conditions, resulting in high structural reliability, portability, lightweight design, and high integration. Furthermore, a vectoring mechanism is installed in the center of the skateboard, along with a vectoring nozzle for adjustable thrust direction, providing vertical takeoff and landing capabilities. Aiming to enable single-person short-term flight, the present invention leverages its compactness and portability to enable independent, short-distance vertical takeoff and landing for a single person.

[0071] In a preferred embodiment, the main structure of the flying skateboard of the present invention includes: a center plate 1, ribs 7, a vector power mechanism 2, legs 3, an oil tank 4 and a circumferential reinforcement frame 8. Optionally, it also includes decorative non-load-bearing components. The decorative non-load-bearing components are installed on the surface of the center plate 1 to encapsulate equipment, cables, and oil circuits. The equipment includes various types of equipment such as control systems and communication and measurement systems.

[0072] The center plate 1, ribs 7, and annular reinforcement frame 8 are primarily made of carbon fiber resin-based sandwich composite materials; the vector power mechanism 2 is primarily made of high-temperature alloy materials, while the crank mechanism and clamps are made of stainless steel; the outriggers 3 provide support for takeoff and landing, and are subject to significant static loads and impacts, and are made of carbon fiber composite pipes; the oil tank 4 is a thin-walled composite shell containing a rubber oil bladder. The pilot's handrail on the board is an optional feature. The main structural materials of the flying skateboard are shown in Table 1. The main frame in Table 1 includes the center plate 1, ribs 7, and annular reinforcement frame 8, and optionally, decorative non-load-bearing components.

[0073] Table 1 Main structural materials of flying skateboard

[0074]

[0075] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 21 Describe the structure and materials of each component in detail.

[0076] The overall structure of the present invention is as follows Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown.

[0077] (1) Center plate: Figure 4 The center plate 1 serves as the main load-bearing structure of the flying skateboard, bearing the load of the engine, flexible oil bag and the driver, while also providing a reliable installation support interface for the control system equipment and the engine.

[0078] In order to achieve high strength, high rigidity and high reliability while making the structure lightweight to the greatest extent, the present invention combines carbon fiber thin-wall composite materials with lightweight foam sandwich cores, and only reinforces the connection area or load-bearing area locally, among which the center plate is the most representative. Figure 5 The center panel 1 consists of an upper skin, a lower skin, and a sandwich material. The sandwich material in the load-bearing area of ​​the center panel 1 is a composite material solid, and the sandwich material in other areas outside the center panel's load-bearing area is foam. The center panel's load-bearing area includes the driver's footrest area. The center panel 1 is a sandwich flat plate with a cross-section thickness of 10mm. The upper and lower skins are made of T700 / 603B composite material with a thickness of 1mm. The middle sandwich material is PMI foam. 110WH.

[0079] The honeycomb structure in the middle of the center panel 1 is used to install five engines. The installation frame is made of a 10mm thick carbon fiber composite material plate with L-shaped flanges to increase strength.

[0080] To enhance support strength, a composite solid core, 30mm wide, is installed in the driver's footrest areas on both sides. Four M6 bolt holes are provided in this composite solid core, through which the pilot's flight boots are secured to the skateboard during flight. The rest of centerboard 1 is constructed entirely of foam core. Metal inserts are installed in threaded holes for devices like batteries, inertial resistance, and central controllers. PEEK inserts are embedded in decorative, non-load-bearing components and clamp mounting locations. Threads subject to higher loads are fitted with metal inserts, while threads subject to lower loads are fitted with PEEK inserts.

[0081] Various types of clamps are installed on the center plate 1, including cable clamps for binding cables, oil line clamps for fixing oil supply pipelines, etc.

[0082] (2) Ribs: Figure 10 , supporting ribs 7 are installed on both sides below the center plate 1, as shown Figure 7 and Figure 8 The rib 7 adopts a composite sandwich structure, the load-bearing area is lined with a composite solid sandwich, and the non-load-bearing part is 110WH foam sandwich, with a large skin area thickness of 1mm. The upper end of rib 7 is fixedly connected to center plate 1, which has countersunk holes. Rib 7 is partially lined with a composite solid body and embedded with 7-M5 stainless steel bushings. The bottom of rib 7 is screwed to the aluminum alloy joint used to mount the support leg 3 with 4-M5 screws, and the aluminum alloy joint has threaded holes. Rib 6 is connected to the upper and lower annular reinforcement frames 8 with 5-M5 bolts, and the annular reinforcement frames 8 are embedded with threaded embedded parts. The load-bearing area includes: five honeycomb frames for engine mounting, left and right footrest areas, and the connection between these two areas.

[0083] Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 9 The rib 7 includes a main board 71 and two diagonal bracing plates 72. The diagonal bracing plates 72 are perpendicular to the main board 71. The upper end surfaces of the two diagonal bracing plates 72 and the upper end surface of the main board 71 form a U-shaped support surface. When the rib 7 is fixedly connected to the center plate 1, the position of the U-shaped support surface corresponds to the position of the driver's footrest area of ​​the center plate 1. The nominal thickness of the cross section of the rib 7 is 10 mm. The part connected to the driver's footrest area at the top of the main board 71 is thickened to 18 mm. It can also be considered that the thickened area extends from the top of the main board 71 to the position corresponding to the lower end of the diagonal bracing plates 72. The main board 71 is reinforced with composite material integral embedded parts in the top center plate connection area, the upper annular reinforcement frame connection area, and the edges on both sides. The skin thickness at the connection between the diagonal bracing plates 72 and the center plate 1 is increased to 2 mm to improve the load-bearing capacity. The diagonal bracing plate is also a foam sandwich, and 2 mm is the skin thickness on both sides of the diagonal bracing.

[0084] The groove 73 provided on the rib plate 7 is used to connect to the annular reinforcement frame 8 .

[0085] (3) Oil tank: Figure 10The flexible oil bag is installed in the closed oil tank 4 formed by four side buckets 41 and two hatches 42. Figure 11 The side bucket 41 adopts a thin-wall + half-frame structure, and the upper end and one side of the side bucket 41 are open; the side bucket 41 includes a frame and side walls supported by the frame; the large area of ​​the side wall is 1.2mm thick. The side bucket 41 is connected to the center plate 1 by an L-frame 43 + a lug 44. The upper end of the L-frame 43 is connected to the center plate 1 by screws, one side of the L-frame 43 is fitted with the hatch 42, and the bottom end of the L-frame 43 is inserted with an aluminum alloy joint to connect with the rib plate, and the interior is filled with foam. The upper end of the L-frame 43 is pre-embedded with a stainless steel embedded part, and the embedded part has reserved threaded holes to connect with the upper plate. The threaded hole 46 reserved on the side of the embedded part is the lifting interface of the skateboard, which is used to meet the lifting and fixing of the skateboard in certain situations. For example, this interface can be used to fix the skateboard with bolts when it is installed in a packaging box; or when the skateboard needs to be lifted, the threads on these four joints can also be used. The lug 44 is connected to the center plate 1, and the surrounding composite material is folded down for reinforcement. The inner wall of the side bucket is glued to the ribs (7) using epoxy adhesive J22, and the glued surfaces are secured with screws. A gap 45 is provided between each side bucket (41) and the center plate (1) for securing the oil bladder mounting lugs. M10 threaded holes 46 are provided on the side of the metal insert at the top of the half-frame for lifting the slide plate. Four of these holes are located throughout the entire machine.

[0086] like Figure 12 The hatch is composed of a thin-walled composite material part and a crossbeam at the corner. The wall thickness of the thin-walled composite material part is 1.5mm. The crossbeam at the corner is a composite sandwich structure. Aluminum alloy threaded embedded parts are pre-embedded at both ends of the crossbeam at the corner, and are fastened to the L-frame 43 of the two side buckets by two screws. In order to enhance the rigidity and deformation resistance of the thin-walled shell, the hatch 42 is turned outward by 10mm on all sides. The hatch 42 is installed in a snap-on manner for easy disassembly and assembly. Two tongues (30X8X1.5mm) extend from the bottom of the hatch 42 and are inserted into the slots of the rib 7. A 50mm long snap is reserved at the top center of the hatch 42 to engage with the gap at the bottom of the center plate 1. In addition, an antenna platform and interface are reserved at the bottom of the left hatch.

[0087] The flexible oil bag adopts a rubber soft oil bag solution and is installed inside the oil tank 4. In order to make the oil tank shell three-dimensional, the oil tank 4 is filled with explosion-proof sponge; each oil bag has four hanging ears extending from the four corners and fixed on the center plate 1.

[0088] like Figure 13 The oil supply system includes a flexible oil bag and an oil supply pipeline. An opening is provided at the bottom of the hatch. One end of the oil supply pipeline is connected to the flexible oil bag through the opening, and the other end is connected to each engine.

[0089] (4) Circumferential reinforcement frame: Figure 14The annular reinforcement frame 8 is made of a square tube of composite material with a foam core. The overall width of the lower annular reinforcement frame is 25X15mm, and the composite wall thickness is 1mm. The corners are designed with inclined cross-sections to prevent the annular frame from becoming unstable. The overall width of the upper annular reinforcement frame is 20X16mm, and the composite wall thickness is 1mm. The core foam is made of PMI foam. 110WH, density 0.110×103kg / m 3 .

[0091] (6) Vector power mechanism: Figure 21 The present invention uses 5 P400 engines to form a vector power mechanism. The middle one is called the central engine, and the surrounding 4 are called vector engines. Except for the central engine, the other engines are equipped with vector nozzles. The central engine is connected to the honeycomb frame of the skateboard body through 4 horizontal lugs, and the surrounding 4 vector engines are connected to the honeycomb frame of the skateboard through 3 horizontal lugs. The engine clamp is made of stainless steel and is tightened to each other with two M4 bolts. During installation, the arc of the clamp is positioned with the servo mounting surface, and the mounting surfaces of the other lugs are matched with adjustment pads.

[0092] (7) Decorative non-load-bearing components: Decorative non-load-bearing components include upper cover components, cable covers, equipment decorative panels, etc., which serve as protection and decoration parts of the flying skateboard. They are made of resin material and are integrally molded, with steel wire screw sleeves embedded in the threads.

[0093] like Figure 17 The upper cover assembly consists of an upper cover and a top cover. The theoretical thickness of the upper cover is 3mm, with space reserved for a nylon protective screen, which can be added later to prevent debris from entering the engine. To simplify the disassembly and maintenance of the slide, the upper cover utilizes a deformable non-metallic material to snap onto the main frame and is secured with four M4 screws. The top cover and upper cover are connected with eight M4 screws. The top cover is not disassembled unless necessary for slide maintenance.

[0094] like Figure 18 , cable cover and equipment decorative plate, theoretical thickness 3mm, fixed to the main shell with M4 screws.

Three M6 mounting interfaces are reserved on the skateboard for optional installation when necessary.

[0096] The main load-bearing structure of the present invention uses a large area of ​​carbon fiber resin-based composite sandwich panels. At the same time, reliability design is achieved through methods such as sandwich structure mechanical simulation, connection embedded part structure design, high-precision component assembly technology, inspection and testing methods, fatigue performance investigation, and potential corrosion prevention.

[0097] To ensure excellent flight stability and maneuverability, the portable flying skateboard utilizes four micro-turbojet engines equipped with thrust vectoring nozzles. The structural design of the vectoring nozzles at high temperatures involves temperature field simulation and analysis of the dynamic characteristics of the mechanism.

[0098] The cushioned landing structure of this invention uses four legs connected to the main structure, with the support area serving as the force transmission center. This provides high connection strength under multiple operating conditions, including flight and landing. Rubber shock absorbers are used at the ends of the legs to mitigate the impact of landing.
