In recent years, with the rapid development of aircraft technology, various types of aircraft continue to emerge, especially the application of small manned aircraft, more and more become the focus of research.
[0003] The existing aircraft are mainly divided into two categories: fixed-wing and rotary-wing. The traditional fixed wing has the advantages of fast flight speed and low energy consumption, but the wing structure is not strong enough to be easily damaged, the takeoff and landing requirements are high, and the takeoff and landing distance are long.
[0004] Rotary-wing aircraft has the advantages of convenient take-off and landing, but it has some disadvantages such as high energy consumption, low safety factor, poor load capacity, slow horizontal flight speed and easy crash.
[0005] Most of the existing manned aircraft do not have emergency escape devices, when flying at high altitude, if there is an emergency situation, can not ensure the safety of personnel. Therefore, how to provide a manned aircraft that can enable personnel to escape safely is an urgent problem for technicians in this field.Technical Solution
