Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If conventional flight equipment uses jet engine thrust for propulsion and attitude control, then flight can be achieved, but flight time is limited due to fuel consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines jet engine thrust device with wing-based aerodynamic forces into a unified flight system. The thrust device provides propulsion while the wings generate lift and aerodynamic control forces, merging two different force generation mechanisms to improve overall flight efficiency and extend flight time by reducing total energy consumption
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces pure thrust-based mechanical control with aerodynamic control using wings. Instead of relying solely on the thrust device for both propulsion and attitude control, the system uses aerodynamic forces generated by the wings to maintain attitude and change direction, reducing the energy required for control maneuvers
2Ease of operation
If conventional flight equipment requires manual attitude control by the operator, then flight control can be performed, but it requires highly skilled operation and takes time to become proficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service flight control where the flight equipment autonomously maintains its own attitude and controls its direction using the wings and thrust device. The system monitors its own state and automatically adjusts forces without requiring skilled manual intervention from the operator
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs feedback mechanisms where the control unit continuously monitors flight parameters and automatically adjusts the thrust device output and wing positioning to maintain desired attitude and flight path, eliminating the need for operator proficiency in manual control
3Reliability
If flight equipment performs both propulsion and attitude control with the thrust device, then all flight functions can be achieved, but flight performance is limited compared to dedicated aerodynamic control
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the flight control functions into distinct components: the thrust device handles propulsion and the wings handle aerodynamic control for attitude maintenance and direction changes. This functional segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific purpose, improving overall flight performance
