[0039] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a fixed-wing aircraft. With a Cartesian vertical coordinate system as a reference, the fixed-wing aircraft is constructed with a first plane formed by an X-axis defined by its navigation direction and a Z-axis defined by its gravity direction as a symmetry plane, and comprises: a nose; a fuselage, the fuselage is constructed with the first plane as a symmetry plane and along the X-axis; a main wing, the main wing comprises a left main wing and a right main wing, the left main wing and the right main wing are respectively fixed to the left and right sides of the fuselage, the main wing comprises a connecting portion located at the rear of the main wing, and is used to connect an air propulsion device; at least one group of air propulsion devices connected to the main wing, the air propulsion device comprises an air bleed pipe, a gas thruster and an air jet pipe connected front and rear along the X-axis direction, and is used to increase the total lift of the wing, the air bleed pipe comprises an air inlet connected to the connecting portion of the main wing, and the air inlet is used to introduce air into the air propulsion device.

[0048] In some embodiments, the left gas thruster and the right gas thruster are both composed of fuel engines, and the propulsion fuel used may be fuel oil or hydrogen.

The rotatable nozzles can independently and continuously rotate at least 90 degrees between the longitudinal X-axis and the normal Z-axis. By rotating at different angles, a 90-degree continuous conversion of air propulsion is achieved, from jetting backward along the longitudinal X-axis required for level flight to jetting vertically along the normal Z-axis.

[0052] In some embodiments, the geometric dimensions of the cross-section of the air inlet, including the length of the main wing, the thickness of the air inlet, the geometric design of the main wing, the type of gas thruster, the power and import requirements, and other related components are considered in a coordinated manner, and ultimately depend on the design requirements of the fixed-wing aircraft, such as cruising speed, altitude, and load. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.
[0053] In the disclosed embodiment, the left main wing 100 and the right main wing 200 both have wing tips 110 and 210 with the same inclination angle to reduce the wind resistance caused by vortices above the wing tips. At the same time, the cross section of the entire fuselage 900 adopts a V-shaped polygonal design to improve its stealth performance.
[0054] In the disclosed embodiment, the left and right bleed air pipes are respectively provided with a left aile flap 190 and a right aile flap (not shown) at the rear of the main wing between the fuselage.

The left auxiliary wing 300 and the right auxiliary wing 400 are both rotatable wings, and the left auxiliary wing 300 and the right auxiliary wing 400 can be rotated around the Y-axis direction respectively, so as to independently adjust the installation angle between the auxiliary wing and the fuselage.
[0056] In some embodiments, the auxiliary wings may also be arranged on both sides of the fuselage in front of the main wings.
[0057] In the disclosed embodiment, both the left auxiliary wing 300 and the right auxiliary wing 400 have V-shaped inclined wing tips 310 and 410 to improve the rolling stability of the whole aircraft, while having certain stealth characteristics.
[0058] In the disclosed embodiment, Figure 8 The third air thrust device 950 is shown, which is arranged in the fuselage behind the main wing, and includes: an air bleed top cover plate 960, a third gas thruster 970 and an air outlet bottom cover plate 980. The air bleed top cover plate 960 is arranged on the upper surface 910 of the fuselage, and the air outlet bottom cover plate 980 is arranged on the lower surface 920 of the fuselage, and corresponds to the position of the air bleed top cover plate 960 up and down. The third gas thruster 970 is arranged in a cavity formed by the air bleed top cover plate 960, the air outlet bottom cover plate 980 and the fuselage 900. The third gas thruster 970 includes an upper fan and a lower fan symmetrically arranged with the Z axis as the axis, and the upper fan and the lower fan rotate in opposite directions when turned on. The second end of the air outlet bottom cover plate 980 is also provided with a middle ground sub-component 989.
[0059] In some embodiments, the third air thrust device may be constructed in the fuselage in front of the main wing.
[0060] In some embodiments, the third gas thruster is an electric propeller fan.
[0061] In some embodiments, the grounding sub-component at the second end of the air outlet bottom cover plate includes at least one rotatable pulley.
[0062] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the third air thrust device includes two states: open and closed; wherein the air bleed top cover plate includes a first end close to the nose and a second end away from the nose, in the closed state, the air bleed top cover plate is connected to the upper surface of the fuselage, in the open state, the first end of the air bleed top cover plate is separated from the fuselage, the air bleed top cover plate rotates around the second end with the Y axis as the axis in the direction away from the upper surface of the fuselage, the rotation angle range is 0-90°, and together with the upper surface of the fuselage, a flat air bleed port is formed; the air outlet bottom cover plate includes a first end close to the nose and a second end away from the nose, in the closed state, the air outlet bottom cover plate is connected to the lower surface of the fuselage, in the open state, the second end of the air outlet bottom cover plate is separated from the fuselage, the air outlet bottom cover plate rotates around the first end with the Y axis as the axis in the direction away from the lower surface of the fuselage, the rotation angle range is 0-90°, and together with the lower surface of the fuselage, an air outlet is formed, generating aerodynamic thrust below the normal Z axis.
[0063] In the disclosed embodiment, the air bleed top cover plate 960 and the air outlet bottom cover plate 980 are respectively flush with the upper surface of the fuselage 900 and the lower surface of the fuselage 900 when the aircraft is cruising in level flight and the third gas thruster is in the closed state, so as to reduce resistance; and when the third air thruster is in the open state, the front edge 961 of the air bleed top cover plate 960 forms a flat air bleed port with the upper surface of the fuselage 900, while promoting the stability of the adjacent boundary layer flow and the positive pressure gradient, so as to promote the increase of the aerodynamic lift of the fuselage; the air outlet bottom cover plate 980 can be continuously and adjustable with the Y axis as the axis, and the rotation angle range is 0-90°, which can not only adjust the exhaust direction, that is, the aerodynamic thrust direction, but also can be attached with a ground sub-component, the top of which provides a support point required for take-off and landing. In order to achieve three-point support balance, the middle ground sub-component 989, the left ground sub-component 189 at the rear of the left wing, and the right ground sub-component 289 at the rear of the right wing provide three-point ground support for the fuselage 900.
[0064] In some embodiments, the third gas thruster, i.e., the normal gas thruster, is only started during takeoff, landing, and hovering of the aircraft. The third gas thruster is a fuel lift fan engine, and for small and medium-sized aircraft, a dual electric coaxial fan with reversed directions can be used. The left gas thruster and the right gas thruster, the main flight power unit of the aircraft, should use turbine engines for large and medium-sized aircraft, piston-driven ducted fans can be considered for medium-sized aircraft, and electric ducted fans can be used for small aircraft.
[0065] In some embodiments, the type, power and model of the rotatable pulley of the third gas thruster ultimately depend on the design requirements of the fixed-wing aircraft, such as cruising speed, altitude, load, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not impose any restrictions on this.
[0066] The fixed-wing aircraft provided by the disclosed embodiment can not only effectively suppress the generation of upper boundary layer airflow and vortex, but also enhance the total lift of the main wing. Taking the left main wing as an example, from the aerodynamic point of view, through the "suction force" of the left air propulsion device 150, especially the left gas thruster 170, the "boundary layer flow suction" flat rectangular air inlet 161 can reduce the "boundary layer flow" pressure of a certain thickness on the upper surface of the left main wing 100 along with the flow. If it is a turbo electric fan or a turbo engine, the left bleed air pipe will be "sucked" into the left gas thruster 170 at a higher laminar flow rate. The left gas thruster 170 further pressurizes the airflow and ejects it through the rear left jet pipe 180, while generating a longitudinal X-axis forward thrust to the left main wing 100 and the fuselage 900.
[0067] The continuously distributed "boundary layer airflow introduction" design along the wing span provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve maximum laminar modulation, lift enhancement, drag reduction and extended cruising range for civil low-speed aircraft with a speed range of 0 to 0.3 Mach and 0.3 to 0.8 Mach subsonic aircraft.
[0068] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structural or equivalent process transformations made using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present application, such as the mutual combination of technical features between the embodiments, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
