Abstract

Drones have little lift and are suitable for vertical movement on their own, but they are quite heavy. The aircraft has a short range and is not suitable for transporting cargo in level flight. The transport container is loaded with cargo and has a variable dihedral angle of flight wing. a powered flying body that tows a container; and a plurality of connecting bodies that connect the container and the powered flying body, one end of the connecting body being attached to the powered flying body and the other end of the connecting body being attached to the container, the container being suspended by the powered flying body for takeoff, the transport container being flown by the lift of the flying wings during towing parallel flight, the dihedral angle of the flying wings during towing being set according to the weight of the cargo, and the plurality of connecting bodies being operated according to the behavior of the powered flying body.
