[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0030] Example: Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 7 As shown, the vertical take-off and landing level flight cruising aircraft starts the coaxial counter-propeller power device 3 to generate an upward pulling force, and controls the coaxial counter-propeller power device 3 to increase the pulling force. When the upward pulling force is greater than the overall gravity of the aircraft, the aircraft leaves the ground and moves upward. At this time, the left aileron 13, the right aileron 14, the upper deflection wing 2, and the lower deflection wing 30 in a vertical state are controlled to keep the aircraft in vertical dynamic balance.

[0031] Further, if Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 6 Figure 7 As shown, when the aircraft rises to a certain height, the upper power rotating shaft 28 and the lower power rotating shaft 29 are synchronously started to merge the upper movable rod 5 and the lower movable rod 25. The aircraft is then changed into a shape close to that of a conventional fixed-wing aircraft. At the same time, the upper left horizontal tail 7, the upper right horizontal tail 8, the lower right horizontal tail 21, and the lower left horizontal tail 32 are synchronously adjusted to maintain a vertical state.

[0032] Further, if Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 7 As shown, the upper left horizontal tail 7, the upper right horizontal tail 8, the lower right horizontal tail 21, and the lower left horizontal tail 32 are controlled to rotate in the same direction by a certain angle. At this time, the downward airflow generated by the coaxial counter-propeller power device 3 is deflected, so that the tail of the aircraft is gradually raised.

[0033] Further, if Figure 5 Figure 7 As shown, when the aircraft reaches a horizontal attitude, it enters a level flight cruise state, at which time the flight attitude of the aircraft is changed according to a conventional fixed-wing aircraft control method.

[0034] Further, if Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 7 As shown, when flying forward to a high altitude close to the destination, the upper left horizontal tail 7, the upper right horizontal tail 8, the lower right horizontal tail 21, and the lower left horizontal tail 32 are controlled to rotate to a certain negative angle of attack. At this time, the airflow generated backward by the coaxial counter-propeller power device 3 is deflected, causing the tail of the aircraft to gradually droop until the aircraft turns into a vertical posture.

[0035] Further, if Figure 4 Figure 7 As shown, the coaxial counter-propeller power device 3 is controlled to make the upward pulling force generated equal to the overall gravity of the aircraft, and then fine-tuned to make the aircraft hover vertically in the air.

[0036] Further, if Figure 4 Figure 7 As shown, the left aileron 13, the right aileron 14, the upper deflection wing 2, and the lower deflection wing 30 are manipulated to slightly change the posture of the aircraft, so that the aircraft moves horizontally to just above the landing point.

[0037] Further, if Figure 4 Figure 7 As shown, the coaxial counter-propeller power device 3 is controlled so that the upward pulling force generated is slightly smaller than the overall gravity of the aircraft, so that the aircraft slowly descends.

[0038] Further, if Figure 2 Figure 4 Figure 7 As shown, when descending to a certain height, the upper power rotating shaft 28 and the lower power rotating shaft 29 are synchronously started to open the upper movable rod 5 and the lower movable rod 25.

[0039] Further, if Figure 2 Figure 7 As shown, when the aircraft is about to reach the ground, the coaxial reverse propeller power device 3 is controlled to slightly increase the lift force to offset the falling inertia of the aircraft and land smoothly on the landing point. At this time, the landing operation is completed.

[0040] Further, if Figure 2 Figure 7 As shown, after the aircraft is stabilized, the coaxial counter-propeller power device 3 is shut down and the flight process ends.

[0041] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is described in detail. Parts not described in detail are conventional technologies.
