DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] To better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention includes but is not limited to the specific embodiments described below. Similar technologies and methods should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention. To further clarify the technical problems, technical solutions, and advantages to be solved by the present invention, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1 As stated,

[0027] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 An embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0028] A bladeless aircraft comprises a fuselage 4, two front wings 3, two rear wings 5, two front propellers 2, and two rear propellers 1. The fuselage 4 is located in the middle of the entire aircraft. The two front wings 3 are arranged at the front end of the aircraft and rotate together via a transmission shaft. The two rear wings 5 ​​are arranged at the end of the aircraft and rotate together via a transmission shaft. The rotation and attitude control of the front wings 3 and rear wings 5 ​​are controlled by a flight control system, helping the aircraft to flexibly climb and descend. The two front wings 3 are arranged symmetrically, and the two rear wings 5 ​​are arranged symmetrically. The two front propellers 2 are integrated with the two front wings 3, and the two rear propellers 1 are integrated with the two rear wings 5. Revolute pairs are used between the front wings 3, the rear wings 5, and the fuselage 4, allowing the front wings and rear wings to rotate together with the connecting shaft. The two front thrusters and the rear thruster are independently controlled and are controlled by the flight control system, so that the aircraft can flexibly perform flight operations including turning, acceleration, deceleration, climbing and descending.

[0029] The fuselage 4 features a low-drag exterior design and is constructed from lightweight, high-strength aviation-grade materials. The fuselage bottom is constructed from a soft material and houses the landing gear and runners. The system operates as follows: when the aircraft needs to land vertically, the landing gear and runners remain in place, achieving a soft landing thanks to the soft material on the fuselage bottom. When the aircraft needs to taxi on a runway for takeoff or landing, the landing gear and runners are lowered for a taxiing takeoff or landing.

[0030] The two front wings 3 are arranged symmetrically, and the two rear wings 5 ​​are also arranged symmetrically. The two front propellers 2 are integrated with the two front wings 3, and the two rear propellers 1 are integrated with the two rear wings 5. Revolute joints are used between the front wings 3, the rear wings 5, and the fuselage 4, allowing the front and rear wings to rotate along the connecting shaft. The two front and rear propellers are independently controlled and controlled by the flight control system, allowing the aircraft to flexibly perform flight operations including turning, acceleration, deceleration, climbing, and descending.

[0031] The specific operating process is as follows: During vertical takeoff, the front wing 3 and the rear wing 5 are perpendicular to the ground, thereby reducing air resistance during takeoff. During level flight, the front wing 3 and the rear wing 5 are parallel to the ground, thereby reducing flight resistance. During climb, the front wing 3 and the rear wing 5 can be adjusted to achieve different climb angles.

[0032] The front propeller 2 and the rear propeller 1 both adopt a non-exposed blade design, and their cross-sectional views are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, a high-speed motor and blades 9 are installed in the internal air inlet channel 10, and the motor air inlet 6 is located below the fuselage 4. Figure 2 and 3 As shown, air enters through the motor air inlet 6. The high-speed motor and blades 9 drive the airflow through the internal air inlet duct 10 in the direction of the arrow, reaching the natural wind inlet 7. The Coanda effect multiplies the airflow, causing the airflow in the natural wind inlet 7 to flow out of the air outlet 8 at a speed 15 times greater than the wind speed. The Coanda effect refers to the tendency of a fluid (water or airflow) to deviate from its original flow direction and instead follow the surface of a protruding object. When there is surface friction (also known as fluid viscosity) between the fluid and the surface of the object it flows over, the fluid will follow the surface as long as the curvature is not large. Utilizing this fluid's "viscosity," the high-speed motor and blades 9 drive the airflow through the motor air inlet 6. The high-speed airflow then flows through the internal air inlet duct 10 and is ejected through a narrow slit, driving the surrounding air along with it and forming a larger airflow ejection volume. This multiplication effect creates significant lift, meeting the aircraft's takeoff and landing requirements.

[0033] Specifically, the high-speed motor and the blades 9 are made of 13 pieces, the high-speed motor is inside the center hole of the blade, and all the blades are made of carbon fiber material. Figure 3 As shown, lift is generated by the airflow multiplication effect, the aircraft is highly efficient and can achieve low-noise flight.

[0034] The present invention adopts a propeller without exposed blades, which can prevent foreign objects from being sucked in, thereby damaging the blades and affecting the safety of flight; by utilizing the airflow multiplication effect, it can achieve both vertical take-off and landing, as well as gliding take-off and landing, and can flexibly realize various aerial flight posture adjustments.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the same. Persons skilled in the art may modify the technical solutions described herein or substitute equivalent features for some of the technical features, and such modifications or substitutions do not deviate from the scope of the present invention.
