Flying House

Abstract

The challenge is to create an aircraft that can take off and land vertically like a drone or helicopter, and can also carry heavy loads like an airplane with wings. [Solution] This flying house consists of two aircraft sections, each comprising left and right propellers, main wings, and ailerons, stacked vertically and in opposite directions. Separation plates are provided on both sides between the upper and lower aircraft sections, and the upper aircraft section has vertical stabilizers and rudders protruding upwards at the left and right center positions in front of and behind the upper aircraft section. The airflow from the upper and lower propellers flows without interference through the separation plates, generating lift on the main wings and ailerons. Vertical takeoff and landing are possible because the thrust of the upper and lower propellers is balanced. Once in the air, horizontal movement is possible by reducing the thrust of either the upper or lower propeller. During high-speed movement, direction control is performed by the rudders attached to the vertical stabilizers, but during low-speed flight or flight to a fixed position, direction control is performed by controlling the thrust of the left and right propellers.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a flying object having wings capable of vertical takeoff and landing.

Background Art

[0002] Examples of flying objects capable of vertical takeoff and landing include helicopters and drones. Both rise by the lifting force generated by the reaction of the air flow due to the rotation of the propeller. That is, since they do not have wings, they are not suitable for transporting heavy objects.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] Drones are the most convenient flying objects for observing areas from the sky with cameras and the like, but since they do not have wings, they are not suitable for transporting heavy objects. On the other hand, airplanes are suitable for transporting heavy objects due to the action of wings, but require a long runway for takeoff and landing. The present invention was born for the purpose of realizing a flying object that can carry heavy objects by having wings and can perform vertical takeoff and landing without requiring a long runway like an airplane.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] Figure 1 shows the configuration of the flying house of the present invention. The configuration of the present invention consists of two airplanes stacked one above the other and facing opposite directions, with a separator between them. In Figure 1, the upper propeller, main wing, and aileron will be denoted as 13UR, 13UL, 14UR, 14UL, 15UR, and 15UL, respectively. Here, U means top, and R and L mean right and left. Similarly, the lower parts will be distinguished using the symbol D as 13DR, 13DL, 14DR, 14DL, 15DR, and 15DL. Similarly, the separator can be distinguished as 12R and 12L. The vertical stabilizer and rudder will be distinguished as 16F and 16B. F means front, and B means rear.

[0007] To take off from a stationary position on the ground, the four propellers are first activated with equal force. This creates opposing airflows above and below the propellers. The separation plates 12R and L allow the upper and lower airflows to flow smoothly without interference, generating lift on all the main wings 14 and ailerons 15, causing the flying house to ascend vertically.

[0008] Once a predetermined altitude is reached, propellers 13DR and 13DL gradually reduce their output. Consequently, the lift from the main wings 14DR and 14DL also decreases, but this is compensated for by the upper ailerons 15UR and 15UL, maintaining the aircraft's balance. Simultaneously, the aircraft begins to move forward. When the rotation of the lower propellers reaches zero, the aircraft moves forward due to the traction of the upper propellers 13UR and UL. If propeller 13 has a function to rotate in the opposite direction, propellers 13DR and 13DL can rotate in the opposite direction, adding a force pushing the aircraft from behind and increasing its flight speed.

[0009] When stopping, the lower propeller 13DR / L begins to rotate forward, reducing the flying house's forward speed. The four propellers 13 adjust their thrust to stop at a predetermined position. At that position, their thrusts balance out, and the aircraft comes to a standstill in the air. As the four propellers gradually reduce their output while maintaining equilibrium, the lift generated by the four main wings 14 and ailerons 15 also decreases, causing the aircraft to descend. Upon landing, the four propellers 13 cease thrust.

[0010] The above explanation describes the case where the upper aircraft section is used for forward movement, but the operation is exactly the same when the lower aircraft section is used. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] This invention makes it possible to realize an aircraft capable of transporting heavy objects by generating a large amount of lift from its wings and performing vertical takeoff and landing through the thrust balance of its four propellers. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0012] [Figure 1] The diagram shows the configuration of the flying house of the present invention as seen from the side, front, and top. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0013] This invention can be used as a vehicle that can move at any height and speed without being limited to a fixed position, even though it is capable of vertical takeoff and landing. Directional control during high-speed flight is performed by a vertical stabilizer / rudder 16, while directional control during low-speed travel is performed by adjusting the thrust of four propellers 13.

[0014] The flying house of this invention consumes the most energy during vertical takeoff and landing because all of its propellers 13 are rotated. Therefore, it is desirable to keep the aircraft at a constant altitude for as short a time as possible. In such cases, it is best to land the aircraft or, for water-based activities, to make it capable of landing on water. For land-based applications, if wheels are attached to the bottom, and a runway is available, only the upper or lower aircraft section needs to be operated for takeoff and landing, thus saving energy. [Industrial applicability]

[0015] The flying house of this invention has enormous potential as a substitute for cars and airplanes. It can take off and land anywhere and fly in a straight line anywhere, making it fast and energy-efficient. It is ideal for life-saving and material transport during disasters. Furthermore, in areas with heavy snowfall in winter, it would be particularly useful for residents in remote areas as it eliminates the need for snow removal on roads. [Explanation of Symbols]
