Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing aerial vehicles with loading parts for baggage have complex structures and lack safety measures to handle lateral winds during descent, posing safety concerns.
Innovation Solution
An aerial vehicle design featuring a thrust unit with rotary vanes, a tail, a fuselage connecting the thrust unit and tail, a main wing at the fuselage center, and a control unit that adjusts the main wing during landing to ensure safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a loading part for baggage is added to the aerial vehicle, then the utility and cargo capacity are improved, but the structure becomes more complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The main wing is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides aerodynamic lift during flight and simultaneously acts as a protective structure during landing. By configuring the main wing to extend downward and form a protective barrier, the patent eliminates the need for separate landing gear or protective structures, thereby maintaining structural simplicity while enhancing utility
2Reliability
If conventional landing structures are used, then the basic structure is simple, but safety measures against lateral wind during descent are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The main wing is designed with dynamic positioning capability, allowing it to be adjusted between a horizontal configuration during flight and a downward-extending configuration during landing. This dynamic adjustment enables the wing to actively respond to landing conditions, providing safety against lateral winds without requiring complex fixed protective structures
Solution Approach 2:
The main wing serves dual purposes: aerodynamic function during flight and protective function during landing. By making the main wing itself the protective element rather than adding separate protective structures, the patent achieves enhanced safety while maintaining structural simplicity
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The design provides a more basic and safer aerial vehicle structure by incorporating a control unit that adjusts the main wing configuration during landing, enhancing safety and stability.
Implementation Method 1
a thrust unit (10) having a plurality of rotary vanes (16) for generating thrust
Implementation Method 2
a main wing (40, 42) provided in a substantially center of the fuselage (30)

AI summary
An aerial vehicle having more basic structure and safety measures. The aerial vehicle according to the present invention includes a thrust unit having a plurality of rotary vanes for generating thrust, a tail, a fuselage that connects the thrust unit and the tail, a main wing provided in a substantially center of the fuselage, and a control unit for controlling at least the main wing. When the aerial vehicle makes a landing, the control unit controls the main wing so that a part of the main wing becomes a lower end.
