Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of aviation technology, in particular to a novel aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing. Background Art

[0002] In today's society, low-altitude economy is widely used and developed, and urban aircraft will play an extremely important role in the future low-altitude economy. Pure multi-rotors are safe and reliable, but their endurance is slightly shorter; pure fixed-wing aircraft have stronger endurance, but require a larger runway area due to the need for a longer taxiing distance.

[0003] In view of the above two points, most urban aircraft are now powered by pure electric composite wings and tilt-rotors. However, composite wings will cause the rotor to stop working during flight, which will result in a certain amount of waste weight, and the structure and control of tilt-rotors are relatively complex. At the same time, research on rotor noise and safety protection is also indispensable. Utility Model Content

In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the utility model. However, the utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the utility model, so the utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0033] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model provides a novel aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing, comprising a fuselage 1, wings 2, a rotor power device 4, a tail wing 5, a propulsion power 6 and a landing gear.

[0034] The fuselage 1 adopts a streamlined design, but is not limited to a streamlined fuselage. A front windshield 101 is regularly arranged at the front section of the fuselage 1, a cabin door 102 is regularly arranged at the front side thereof, and a plurality of cabin glasses 103 are regularly arranged at both sides of the middle thereof. A cockpit and a cabin are regularly arranged inside the fuselage 1, and a plurality of seats are arranged and installed respectively.

[0035] Furthermore, the wing 2 adopts a low-speed high-lift airfoil, and is symmetrically arranged and installed on both sides of the upper part of the middle section of the fuselage to form left and right wings. The tips of the left and right wings are arranged and installed with rotor power mounting frames 3, and the interior of the left and right wings is used to arrange and install rotor power batteries 10.

[0036] Furthermore, the rotor power mounting frame 3 adopts a streamlined design, thereby reducing flight resistance. The outermost end thereof is provided with a rotor power mounting platform for mounting the rotor power device 4.

[0037] Furthermore, the rotor power device 4 is arranged and installed on the outermost rotor power mounting platform of the rotor power mounting frame 3, and is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the fuselage 1 through the rotor power mounting frame 3 to form left and right rotor power devices. The left and right rotor power devices 4 are powered by the rotor power batteries 10 inside the left and right wings 2 respectively.

[0038] Furthermore, the rotor power device 4 includes two sets of motors installed coaxially and rotating in opposite directions, a rotor blade 401 and a rotor blade protection 402. The rotor blade 401 and the rotor blade protection 402 are integrally formed and arranged together, and the rotor blade protection 402 forms a fence structure to surround and protect the rotor blade 401.

[0039] By providing a rotor blade protection 402 at the tip of the rotor blade 401 to surround it, the tip vortex of the rotor blade can be reduced, thereby reducing the noise generated when the rotor power device rotates. At the same time, the existence of the rotor blade protection 402 can prevent ground personnel from being harmed by the propeller.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the left and right wings 2 and the rotor power mounting frame 3 are arranged at an angle tilted upward, and the angle with the horizontal plane is 9-12°.

[0041] Furthermore, the tail 5 adopts a symmetrical airfoil, and is installed at the upper end of the tail of the fuselage 1 in a symmetrical and inclined arrangement to form left and right tails. The trailing edges of the left and right tails are also symmetrically provided with tail control surfaces 501 for pitch and yaw control.

[0042] Furthermore, the left and right tail fins are V-shaped tail fins and are arranged and installed at the upper end of the tail of the fuselage.

[0043] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, the propulsion power device 6 is arranged and installed inside the tail of the fuselage 1. The propulsion power device 6 adopts oil-driven turbine power and is propelled by jet.

[0044] Furthermore, an air inlet 7 is regularly arranged on the fuselage at the front end of the propulsion power device 6, and the air inlet 7 connects the propulsion power device with the outside world and is used for the air intake of the propulsion power device. Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the air inlet 7 is regularly arranged at the upper end of the tail of the fuselage 1. The tail end of the fuselage 1 is provided with a main jet port for jet propulsion of the propulsion power unit 6.

[0045] Furthermore, upper and lower power jets 8 and left and right power jets 9 are regularly arranged on the fuselage at the rear end of the propulsion power unit 6.

The upper and lower power jets and the left and right power jets are connected to the air outlet of the propulsion power unit through the exhaust channel inside the fuselage.

[0046] Furthermore, a plurality of fan blade baffles rotating around an axis are regularly arranged at the upper and lower power jet ports and the left and right power jet ports. The plurality of fan blade baffles are driven to rotate by a motor or an electric cylinder, so that the opening size of the upper and lower power jet ports and the left and right power jet ports can be adjusted by adjusting the opening and closing size of the plurality of fan blade baffles.

[0047] Therefore, the pitch attitude of the aircraft is adjusted by adjusting the fan blade baffles at the upper and lower power jet ports; and the yaw attitude of the aircraft is adjusted by adjusting the fan blade baffles at the left and right power jet ports.

[0048] Furthermore, a turbine generator is arranged and installed inside the fuselage 1, so as to generate electricity through the turbine generator to charge and supply power to the rotor power battery 10 inside the wing and the corresponding modules of the system.

[0049] Further, the landing gear includes a rear landing gear 11 and a front landing gear 12. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the rear landing gear 11 is symmetrically arranged and installed on the middle section of the belly of the fuselage, and the front landing gear 12 is arranged and installed on the front section of the belly of the fuselage, thereby forming a three-point landing gear.

[0050] Further, the rear landing gear 11 and the front landing gear 12 both include a power device, a folding assembly and wheels. When the aircraft is in a level flight cruise, the power device drives the folding assembly to be retracted into the fuselage, thereby retracting the front and rear landing gears into the fuselage to reduce flight resistance.

[0051] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
