[0008] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an overview of a method for arranging an aircraft according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a first flying vehicle and a second flying vehicle deployed by a deployment method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described.

[0010] (Outline of the embodiment) An overview of an arrangement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG. 1. The arrangement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a method for arranging a battery-powered aircraft when transporting the aircraft by sea or land using a mobile body 1 such as a ship or vehicle. FIG. 1 shows a conceptual top view of the arrangement method for marine transportation, in which the mobile body 1 is a ship. The mobile body 1 has a storage area for storing the aircraft. As shown in FIG. 1, multiple aircraft (multiple first aircraft 10 and multiple second aircraft 20) are stored in the storage area of ​​the mobile body 1. In FIG. 1, six aircraft are stored in the storage area, but the number of stored aircraft is not limited to this and may be less than six or may be seven or more.

[0011] The first aircraft 10 flies on battery power. Examples of the first aircraft 10 include passenger aircraft, airplanes, helicopters, drones, etc. For example, the first aircraft 10 has a cabin approximately the same size as a passenger car capable of accommodating one or more occupants, and a mechanism including one or more electric rotors for generating lift and thrust. The first aircraft 10 is, for example, an electric Vertical Take Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, which is operated at least partially under visual flight rules (VFR). The first aircraft 10 has electric rotors above the fuselage. The first aircraft 10 has a drive mechanism including a motor and a control device for driving the electric rotor, and a battery for supplying power to the drive mechanism. The battery is, for example, a lithium-ion battery. The first aircraft 10 may be operated under instrument flight rules (IFR). The first aircraft 10 also has communication and information processing functions and is connected to a network via a mobile communication network.

[0012] The second air vehicle 20 flies on battery power. Examples of the second air vehicle 20 include passenger planes, airplanes, helicopters, drones, etc. For example, the second air vehicle 20 has a cabin approximately the same size as a passenger car capable of accommodating one or more occupants, and a mechanism including one or more electric rotors for generating lift and thrust. The second air vehicle 20 is, for example, an electric Vertical Take Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, which is operated at least partially under visual flight rules (VFR). The second air vehicle 20 has electric rotors below the fuselage. The second air vehicle 20 has a drive mechanism including a motor and its control device for driving the electric rotor, and a battery that supplies power to the drive mechanism. The battery is, for example, a lithium-ion battery. The second air vehicle 20 may be operated under instrument flight rules (IFR). The second air vehicle 20 also has communication and information processing functions and is connected to a network via a mobile communication network.

[0013] First, an overview of this embodiment will be described, and details will be provided later. In the arrangement method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Fig. 1, a plurality of battery-powered first flying vehicles 10 having electric rotors above the body are arranged in a row, and a plurality of battery-powered second flying vehicles 20 having electric rotors below the body are arranged adjacent to the plurality of first flying vehicles 10 and in a row.

[0014] Thus, according to this embodiment, multiple battery-powered first aircraft 10 with electric rotors above the aircraft are lined up in a row, and multiple battery-powered second aircraft 20 with electric rotors below the aircraft are arranged in a row adjacent to the multiple first aircraft 10. This reduces interference between the electric rotors of adjacent aircraft, improving transportation efficiency and preventing damage to the aircraft during transportation. In this way, sea and land transportation technology for battery-powered aircraft is improved.

[0015] Next, an arrangement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail. The rotor 11 of the first aircraft 10 is located above the aircraft. On the other hand, the rotor 21 of the second aircraft 20 is located below the aircraft. If the first aircraft 10 are arranged adjacent to each other, the first aircraft 10 must be arranged at a certain distance apart in the horizontal direction to prevent interference between the rotors 11 of the adjacent first aircraft 10. Similarly, if the second aircraft 20 are arranged adjacent to each other, the second aircraft 20 must be arranged at a certain distance apart in the horizontal direction to prevent interference between the rotors 21 of the adjacent second aircraft 20.

[0016] Here, there is a certain amount of space below the rotor 11 of the first aircraft 10. Similarly, there is a certain amount of space above the rotor 21 of the second aircraft 20. These spaces can be effectively utilized. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the first aircraft 10 and the second aircraft 20 arranged using an arrangement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the arrangement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure arranges the first aircraft 10 and the second aircraft 20 adjacent to each other. With this arrangement, the space below the rotor 11 of the first aircraft 10 and the space above the rotor 21 of the second aircraft 20 can be effectively utilized.

[0017] Although the present disclosure has been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art may make various modifications and alterations based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and alterations are included in the scope of the present disclosure. For example, the functions included in each component or step can be rearranged so as not to be logically inconsistent, and multiple components or steps can be combined or divided into one.
