CONFIGURATIONS TO IMPLEMENT THE PRESENT INVENTION
[0032] The present invention is an aircraft of a new invention that provides a new vertical take-off and touch down type of aircraft (new VTOL) in which ascent and descent propellers and forward-moving propellers and rotating or non-rotating horizontal flight wings are provided, vertical take-off, touch down, and hovering are naturally enabled, horizontal flight speed is fast, energy loss is small, long-distance flight is enabled, and is all-weathered and can safely fly in bad weather conditions. The present invention is a concept different from a traditional drone, helicopter. Osprey, or auto-gyro.

[0041] The above explains a drone.
[0042]
[0043] Specifically, up to 9.sup.th embodiment, wings were fixed and also, the forward-moving propellers were separately provided. But according to 10.sup.th embodiment, wings are rotated, and a forward-moving propeller is not provided. Up to the 9.sup.th embodiment, a wing is not positioned in the propeller slip stream part so that the slip stream of the ascent and descent propeller is not disturbed. In addition, a wing is fixed. Moreover, a forward-moving propeller and an ascent and descent propeller are provided separately. 10.sup.th embodiment is an embodiment with an entirely different concept from those up to 9.sup.th embodiment, and it is an embodiment that makes the present invention more efficient. Specifically, in order to streamline the structure, an ascent and descent propeller is provided on a wing, and in order to raise propeller efficiency without disturbing slip stream of the propeller by a wing, a wing is positioned at the right angle to the propeller, and if the axis direction of the propeller change, the wing direction rotates accordingly so that the slip steam of the propeller becomes the same direction as the wing surface direction, thus the propeller slip stream is not always disturbed by a wing.
[0044] Moreover, without providing a forward-moving propeller, in order to combine it with a descent and ascent propeller, as written previously, a wing is rotated about 90°, and the propeller direction is rotated about 90°, and this is used as the forward-moving propeller. This is fundamentally different from an Osprey. While an Osprey has a wing which is fixed, an engine and a propeller such that the direction is rotated toward the wing front tip, and a wing which does not rotate even if the propeller direction rotates, the present invention is such that a propeller with an engine is fixed to the wing, and also without fixing a wing, it rotates in a propeller direction or along with a rotating wing. As described above, this is different from an Osprey. In addition, in case of Osprey, a wing hits the slip stream of the propeller, reducing the propeller efficiency. However, in case of the present invention, the invention is such that the propeller and wing are always at a right angle, and the wing slants with the same angle as the slant of the propeller, hence the propeller slip stream does not hit the wing, and the propeller slip stream is greatly improved. Moreover, regarding an Osprey, the engine and propeller rotate at the wing tip, hence, vibration, strength and the like create structural problems. With the present invention, since an engine and propeller are fixed solidly on the wing, no structural problems occur. Regarding an Osprey, a rotating engine and propeller are provided on the wing front tip, hence it is necessary to strengthen the wing girder, weight is increased, and aerodynamic performance is reduced. On the other hand, regarding the present invention, since a wing girder is lighter than Osprey's variation, aerodynamic performance is improved. Regarding an Osprey, since the engine and propeller are on the wing tip, resonance is generated by a long span, vibration is significant and orthocentric characteristic is problematic; crash accidents have ultimately occurred due to the vibration. On the other hand, regarding the present invention, the engine propeller is not on the wing front tip, and it is on the center part which has a strong structure; hence no resonance occurs, and it is safe and the orthocentric location is good.

[0048] Regarding the aerial vehicle of the present invention, in this state, the propeller 6 is rotated by a motor 7, and the propeller 6′ is rotated by a motor 7′ and this aerial vehicle vertically takes off and ascends. It is designed such that the slip stream of propeller 6, 6′ at this time is not blocked by wings 57, 58 at all. Next, motors 55, 56 are gradually rotated, and centered on the rotation axis 69, 70, the propellers 6, 6′, and wings 57, 58 are rotated, and placed in the position of
[0049]
[0050] The present invention can be applied not only to a drone but also to a real airplane. Moreover, in that case, the propeller is rotated by an engine. Moreover, not using a propeller, in case of using jet engines or rockets, it is also included in the present invention.
USAGE POSSIBILITY IN INDUSTRY
[0051] The present invention is a new type airplane in which compared with other vertical take-off and landing planes such as a tilt rotatory type like the well-known drones and well-known Ospreys, and helicopter and the like, it is safer with a fast-horizontal speed. Regarding the existing drone, its speed is too slow and it cannot fly a long distance for use in long-distance product transportation such as mail delivery and the like and logistics, and energy consumption is high, hence it is not suitable for use in high-speed delivery. With the present invention, cargo can be delivered with a high speed, and long distance filming is enabled. In the case of the present invention, when applied with a fuselage that scats people, it can be used for quick rescue operations in the mountains and in disasters at sea, hence there is a large case for usability in industry. Regarding aircrafts of the present invention, compared with helicopters, pitch control is not necessary, steering is simple and low-priced, horizontal speed is fast, navigable distances are long, accidents caused by the tilting of Ospreys' rotors is completely gone, and it is safe, hence its usage range is widened. Moreover, if the fuselage is made larger, a large number of people can be seated and it can be serviced for islands without any airport, and this can compensate for the inconvenience of traffic caused to islands' peoples, and there is also great usability for defense and industrial applications. Moreover, if the present invention is flown near the stratosphere, solar energy can be received by wings and converted to microwaves and sent to earth, and used as electric energy on earth, it can be supplied as valuable energy for Japan as a nation without much natural resources, and also it can replace a reconnaissance satellite. Defense and industrial application possibilities are very large.
