AIRCRAFT
An aircraft including at least one wing system with two wings rigidly connected to a rotor provided with a swash plate control device. The wing system being able to change from a fixed wing configuration where the rotor is immobilised relative to the aircraft fuselage and the wings are oriented with their leading edge facing the direction of forward travel of the aircraft, to a rotating wing configuration where the rotor is rotated relative to the fuselage, and conversely, at least one of the wings is itself subjected, during the change-over from the fixed wing configuration to the rotating wing configuration, to a rotation on itself relative to the rotor in such a manner that the two wings of the wing system form blades having their leading edge oriented in the direction of rotation of the rotor.
Convertible Aircraft System
A convertible aircraft system is provided that can convert to a helicopter configuration, an airplane configuration, or a gyroplane configuration before, during, or after flight. The convertible aircraft system includes a fuselage, a proximal flight assembly, a distal flight assembly, a support spar, and a tail assembly. The fuselage is the main structural body of the present invention. The proximal flight assembly and the distal flight assembly are the flight system of the present invention. The support spar provides an axis of rotation and a pole support for the proximal flight assembly and the distal flight assembly. The tail assembly provides stability during flight of the present invention. In more detail, the tail assembly may comprise at least one vertical stabilizer, at least one horizontal stabilizer, and at least one rudder in order to provide stability during flight of the present invention.
AIRCRAFT
The invention relates to an aircraft comprising a fuselage (1), a plurality of propeller units (3) that can pivot in relation to the fuselage (1), and wings (5) that can pivot at least partially in relation to the fuselage (1) and independently of the propeller units (3).
TRANSFORMABLE TYPE VTOL AIRCRAFT
An aircraft includes a fuselage including a front portion and a tail, the fuselage having a longitudinal axis, rotation about which is roll rotation, a lateral axis, rotation about which is pitch rotation, and a vertical axis, rotation about which is yaw rotation. The tail is substantially in one horizontal plane and has a lateral cross section shape of an airfoil. The aircraft includes at least one wing coupled to the fuselage, an engine pivotally coupled to the aircraft so that the engine is pivotable in the yaw rotation, and an actuator coupled to the engine arranged to pivot the engine in the yaw rotation.
