Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of this solution is that the heavy airfoil works mainly by a very complex and heavy mechanical structure
On the other hand, such wings cannot be folded, and the aircraft has a large footprint
This limits the use of aircraft in urban areas, and the apron must also have a large area
this form of propulsion and drive cannot be used on very large aircraft

Embodiment Construction

[0037] In the first example, a set of multi-propeller propellers 1 with thrust amplifiers, including a plurality of ducted fans 2, each operating in a duct 3, as figure 1 and 2 shown. Each fan 2 is driven by a motor 4, preferably a brushless motor. The motor 4 is suspended in the duct 3 by some supports 5 . The walls of the duct 3 are aerodynamically shaped. The ducts 3 are tangent to each other and form a duct wall 7 . The duct wall 7 is surrounded by common rings 8 which form a space 9 around the duct wall. The distance between the common ring 8 and the outer surface of the duct wall 7 is D1. The common ring 8 has some walls 10 which are also designed aerodynamically. The common ring 8 supports the duct wall 7 through cross ribs 12 . The ducted fan 2 is aligned along the main axis 13, such as figure 2 shown. The other ducted fans 2 are aligned with the other main shaft 14 , parallel to the main shaft 13 . In operation, when taking off, the ducted fan 2 sprays air ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a modular propulsion system and an aircraft that can take off and land vertically (VTOL), in particular by hybrid or electrical drive, for transporting people or cargofrom one point to another without the need for an airport runway. The aircraft 50 includes a fuselage 51, and foldable main wings 52 located on both sides of fuselage 51, and wings 53 on tail wings 54 behind aircraft 50. The aircraft 50 employs a modular propulsion system 55 comprising two sets of multi-propeller thrusters 56 with stationary thrust amplifiers located in front of the wing 52 and on either side of the fuselage 51; And two sets of multi-propeller thrusters 57 with movable thrust amplifiers located behind the main wing 52, above the main wing 52, on either side of the fuselage 51.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of Romanian provisional application A / 00438 / 2016 filed on June 15, 2016, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a modular propulsion system and aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing ("vertical take-off and landing"), in particular hybrid or electric propulsion, for transporting people or goods from one point to another, while There is no need for an airport runway. Background technique [0004] A VTOL vehicle combines the ability of a helicopter to fly vertically with the efficiency of a conventional (fixed-wing) aircraft traveling forward at high speed. While some solutions have been proposed before, no significant progress has been made. [0005] Aurora Flight Sciences has adopted an innovative solution which proposes the use of a number of electric ducted fans, located on the main and canar...
