[0005] In an optional embodiment, the cockpit, canopy, reserve parachute, power engine, gearbox and turbofan will be fixedly installed at the center position on the central axis of the main body support.

[0006] In an optional embodiment, the canopy is a pointed top or a dome-shaped transparent body.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, the power engine can be an internal combustion engine or an aviation turbine engine. The power engine is connected to a power control console in the cockpit for operation and control. The power output is transmitted through a main shaft to a gearbox, and directly drives the turbofan to rotate. The gearbox simultaneously drives six transmission connecting shafts, and the six transmission connecting shafts respectively drive six propeller blade fans.

Obviously, the described embodiment is only one of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in the technical field without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] The embodiment of the present invention provides a novel disc-shaped aircraft.

[0030] Combine the following Figures 1 to 9 The technical solution provided by the present invention is described in more detail.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a novel disc-shaped aircraft provided by an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a main body support 1, a cockpit 2 is arranged above the main body support 1, a cockpit cover 3 is installed above the cockpit 2, and a reserve parachute 4 is installed on the top of the cockpit cover 3; a power engine 5 is fixedly arranged in the middle position of the main body support 1, the power engine 5 is connected to the power control console 6 in the cockpit 2, the power output of the power engine 5 is connected to the transmission main shaft 7, the transmission main shaft 7 is connected to the gear box 8, six transmission connecting shafts 9 are respectively connected at six positions around the gear box 8, the six transmission connecting shafts 9 respectively drive six propeller blade fans 10, and a disc-shaped anti-collision net 11 is installed above the six propeller blade fans 10; a disc-shaped wind collecting disc 12 is installed below the main body support 1, a turbofan 13 is installed at the bottom center of the wind collecting disc 12, a tail pipe 14 is installed below the turbofan 13, and the tail pipe 14 is connected to the tail pipe control cable 15 in the cockpit 2.

[0032] As an optional implementation, the cockpit 2, cockpit cover 3, reserve parachute 4, power engine 5, gear box 8 and turbofan 13 will be fixedly installed at the center position on the central axis of the main frame 1. The above structure is easy to process and manufacture, so that the overall center of gravity is concentrated, thereby making it very easy to control the overall balance of the aircraft.

[0033] As an optional implementation, the canopy 3 is a pointed top or a dome-shaped transparent body. The above structure is easy to manufacture and can provide an all-round viewing angle, making it convenient to control the forward direction of the aircraft.

[0034] As an optional implementation, the power engine 5 can be an internal combustion engine or an aviation turbine engine. The power engine 5 is connected to the power control console 6 in the cockpit 2 for operation and control. The above structure is easy to process and manufacture. The power output is transmitted to the gearbox 8 through the transmission main shaft 7, and directly drives the turbofan 13 to rotate. The six transmission connecting shafts 9 are simultaneously driven through the gearbox 8, and the six transmission connecting shafts 9 then drive six propeller blade fans 10 respectively.

[0035] As an optional implementation, the blades of the propeller blade fan 10 are like the blades of a drone or can also be like the blades of a helicopter, with two or more blades. The above structure is easy to process and manufacture, and the blades can generate upward lift when rotating at high speed. When six propeller blade fans 10 are running at the same time, the lift generated can lift the overall weight of the aircraft and balance the overall smooth movement of the aircraft.

[0036] As an optional implementation, a disc-shaped wind collecting disc 12 is installed below the integral bracket 1. The upper edge of the wind collecting disc 12 is fixedly connected to the lower edge of the anti-collision net 11, and the overall appearance forms a flying saucer shape. The above structure is easy to process and manufacture. The wind collecting disc 12 collects all the wind volume of the six propeller blade fans 10, and then the turbine fan 13 installed at the bottom center of the wind collecting disc 12 is operated at high speed and discharged through the tail pipe 14.

[0037] As an optional implementation, the tail pipe control pull wire 15 can control the opening and contraction of the tail pipe 14 and the swinging at different angles. The above structure is easy to process and manufacture. When the speed of the turbofan 13 and the propeller blade fan 10 is controlled to be reduced, the tail pipe is fully opened, and the aircraft will descend. When the speed of the turbofan 13 and the propeller blade fan 10 is controlled to be increased, the contraction of the tail pipe 14 will generate vector force, and the aircraft will rise. When the tail pipe 14 swings at different angles, the aircraft will move in different directions, thereby controlling the take-off and landing of the aircraft and the flight movement in different directions.

[0038] As an optional implementation, a reserve parachute 4 is installed on the top of the cockpit 2. The above structure is easy to process and manufacture. In the event of a malfunction or emergency in the aircraft, the reserve parachute 4 can be opened, so that the entire aircraft can land safely and smoothly on the ground.

Then, the turbo fan 13 installed at the bottom center of the wind collecting disc 12 is rotated at high speed, which is equivalent to secondary boost, and then all the wind volume is discharged through the tail pipe 14, just like releasing a large balloon with the opening facing downward, which can quickly rise into the air.

[0040] In the present invention, the opening and contraction of the tail tube 14 and the swinging at different angles are controlled by the tail tube control wire 15. When the tail tube 14 is fully opened, the aircraft will descend. When the tail tube 14 is contracted, a vector force will be generated and the aircraft will rise. When the tail tube 14 swings at different angles, the aircraft will move in different directions, thereby controlling the take-off and landing of the aircraft and the flight movement in different directions.

[0041] In the present invention, with the application of existing technology and material science, the propeller blades and the overall structure of the aircraft are mostly made of carbon fiber nanocomposites, which will reduce the overall weight of the aircraft. If a high-efficiency turbofan engine is used as the power, the whole will work like an oversized turbofan, which will greatly increase its flight speed and can manufacture large, medium and small new disc-shaped aircraft for carrying people, no people or goods.
