Abstract
The invention discloses a vertical take-off and landing triphibian flight vehicle that can travel on land, water and air. These three traveling modes are realized by changing the position of the propeller module. The vehicle has retractable and foldable wings and has the accommodate space in the vehicle body to store the wings. When the vehicle is in land mode, the wings are stowed in the accommodate space to reduce the size of the vehicle and the air resistance. When the vehicle is in flight mode, the wings can be extended out of the accommodate space through the control system, so that the vehicle can use the wings to obtain aerodynamic force to counter gravity, thereby reducing the energy consumption required for countering gravity during flight and increasing the flight mileage.
