[0025] The first mounting seat 2 is a basic mounting component, which provides mounting positions for other key components. The surface of the first mounting seat 2 is provided with four control rudders 9, which are mainly used to control the attitude of the aircraft. By receiving signals from the flight control system, the control rudders 9 can accurately adjust the angle of the guide vanes 12 on the fixed frame 10. For example, when turning is needed, the control rudders 9 can change the direction of the airflow by the guide vanes 12, generate a lateral force, and realize the turning action of the aircraft. The control rudders 9 drive the guide vanes 12 to move through the pull rod structure arranged between the control rudders 9 and the guide vanes 12. The side surface of the first mounting seat 2 is provided with the fixed frame 10, and the surface of the fixed frame 10 is provided with the guide vanes 12. The guide vanes 12 play a key role in guiding airflow during the flight of the aircraft. They can rotate according to the instructions of the control rudders 9. During the pitching and rolling movements of the aircraft, the four X-shaped guide vanes 12 coordinate and link to accurately change the direction of the airflow and the force acting on the lower part of the aircraft. For example, during the pitching action, the guide vanes 12 can change the upward and downward force of the airflow, causing the head or tail of the aircraft to rise or fall. During the rolling action, the left and right airflow forces are changed to achieve the rolling of the fuselage. The fixed frame 10 and the guide vanes 12 are arranged in a circular array with four groups. The fixed frame 10 and the guide vanes 12 are connected by the rotating rod 11. The fixed frame 10 provides a stable support structure for the guide vanes 12. It is arranged in a circular array with four groups, which helps to evenly distribute and guide the airflow. The fixed frame 10 is connected to the guide vanes 12 through the rotating rod 11, so that the guide vanes 12 can rotate around the rotating rod 11 to change the direction of the airflow flexibly according to the flight attitude requirements.

The output end of the servo motor 501 is provided with the first gear 502. The side surface of the first gear 502 is provided with the second gear 503. The first gear 502 and the second gear 503 constitute a transmission mechanism. The surface thereof is driven through a track. The surface of the second gear 503 is provided with the rotating shaft 504. The rotating shaft 504 rotates under the drive of the first gear 502 and the second gear 503 and transmits the power to the first rotor 7 and the second rotor 8 through the connecting seat 6, so that the first rotor 7 and the second rotor 8 rotate to generate lift. The two driving assemblies 5 are centrally symmetrical. The rotational directions of the first rotor 7 and the second rotor 8 are opposite through the centrally symmetrical driving assemblies 5. The rotor counter-torque is effectively offset, so that the fuselage spinning problem caused by the counter-torque is avoided. The end of the rotating shaft 504 is provided with the connecting seat 6. The two rotating shafts 504 are connected with the surfaces of the first rotor 7 and the second rotor 8 through the connecting seat 6. The surfaces of the two driving assemblies 5 are respectively provided with the first rotor 7 and the second rotor 8. The first rotor 7 and the second rotor 8 rotate under the drive of the driving assembly 5 to generate upward lift. The rotational directions of the first rotor 7 and the second rotor 8 are opposite, so that the aircraft can take off and land vertically.

[0027] The operation process of the thrust vector vertical take-off and landing aircraft is as follows: before flight, the battery 14 supplies power to the whole aircraft system, starts the servo motor 501, the servo motor 501 outputs power, drives the first gear 502 to rotate, drives the second gear 503 to rotate through the track, so that the rotating shaft 504 rotates, the rotating shaft 504 drives the first rotor 7 and the second rotor 8 to rotate through the connecting seat 6 to generate lift. At the same time, the four control rudders 9 on the first mounting seat 2 receive the flight control system signal, accurately adjust the angle of the guide vane 12 on the fixed frame 10 through the pull rod structure, when turning during flight, the control rudder 9 drives the guide vane 12 to change the direction of the air flow to generate a lateral force, when pitching, the guide vane 12 changes the upward and downward air forces to make the head or tail of the aircraft rise or fall, when rolling, the guide vane 12 changes the left and right air forces to realize the rolling of the fuselage. The duct 1 increases the air flow speed of the first rotor 7 and the second rotor 8 to the guide vane 12 to improve the control force, on the other hand, it protects the rotor when hitting foreign objects. The landing gear 13 provides stable support during take-off and landing. The whole aircraft realizes vertical take-off and landing and flexible flight attitude adjustment and control through the cooperation of each part to complete various flight tasks.
