In recent years, along with the rapid development of motor efficiency, lithium battery energy density, navigation and autonomous control technology, and the characteristics of rapid adjustment of motor rotation speed and realization of flight control by changing propeller driving force, the conditions for developing a practical electric manned aircraft are mature. Human-carried eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft configurations currently under development can be divided into three categories: rotor or multiple rotors, multiple rotors and fixed wing combined composite or tilt rotor, tilt rotor.
However, most of the eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft configurations currently entering the prototype test flight stage are of the first two types (multi-rotor or compound-wing), in addition, the large rotor of the traditional helicopter is significantly higher in aerodynamic efficiency (kg/kW) than the multi-rotor of the small rotor, and the lack of aerodynamic efficiency (Kg/kW) is rarely adopted, mainly because of the relatively simple manipulation of the multi-rotor, and the relatively large control difficulty and unknowns caused by the complex aerodynamic changes of the tilting wings during flight transition between the VTOL and the forward flying modes, which require relatively long development time and cost.
In view of this, the present utility model provides an aircraft, and fig. 1 to 5 are diagrams illustrating an embodiment of the aircraft according to the present utility model, and the aircraft will be described with reference to the specific drawings.
Referring to fig. 1 to 5, the aircraft 1000 includes a frame 1, a main rotor 2, and a tilting wing assembly 3, wherein the frame 1 extends in a front-rear direction; the main propeller 2 is arranged at the rear end of the frame 1; the tilting wing assembly 3 comprises two tilting wings 31 which extend left and right and are arranged on two sides of the front end of the frame 1, and auxiliary propellers 32 which are arranged on the tilting wings 31, the tilting wings 31 comprise main wings 311 and auxiliary wings 312, and the auxiliary propellers 32 are arranged on the main wings 311; the tilting wing 31 may drive the auxiliary propeller 32 to rotate synchronously along the left and right axes, so that the tilting wing 31 and the auxiliary propeller 32 are in a lifting mode for providing lift force when in a vertical setting position, and are in a forward flight mode for providing lift force and pull force when rotating in a rotating process and rotating to a horizontal setting.
In the technical scheme of the utility model, the main propeller 2 is arranged at the rear end of the aircraft body and always provides main power to maintain the flight of the aircraft 1000. When the auxiliary propeller 32 mounted on the tilting wing 31 is in the landing mode, providing power of at least 1/3 of the takeoff weight, and maintaining the vertical landing and hovering state of the aircraft 1000 by the main propeller 2 matched with the main propeller, wherein the tilting wing 31 is vertically arranged, so that the obstruction to the airflow of the auxiliary propeller 32 is avoided, and the aerodynamic efficiency is improved; when the secondary propeller 32 is in the forward flight mode, the secondary propeller 32 provides full thrust and no lift, at which time the tilt wing 31 is horizontally disposed to be in a near horizontal position and within the forward airflow to provide the lift originally provided by the secondary propeller 32, so as to maintain the flight of the aircraft 1000. The aircraft 1000 is arranged in such a way that, on one hand, the main propeller 2 is always in a power supply state, and the tilting wing 31 has less influence on maintaining the flight stability of the aircraft 1000 when driving the auxiliary propeller 32 to perform mode switching, so that the flight conversion process control of the aircraft 1000 in the landing mode and the front flight mode is more stable; on the other hand, the tilting wings 31 are rotated in cooperation with the auxiliary propeller 32, so that the control system is simplified.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the auxiliary propeller 32 is an electric propeller to realize rapid adjustment of the rotation speed, so as to facilitate control of flight. It will be appreciated that the aircraft 1000, at the time of VTOL (vertical take-off/landing), uses the high lift ratio (lift/power) of the main rotor 2 to simultaneously operate pitch and roll by means of the speed change and differential manner of the auxiliary rotor 32 on the tilting wing 31, simplifying or even replacing the complex pitch mechanism required for operating pitch and roll of the main rotor 2.
In addition, when the aircraft 1000 flies forward, both the tilting wings 31 and the auxiliary propellers 32 mounted on the front end of the frame 1 are tilted to be nearly horizontal (0-5 degrees), so that the high lift-drag ratio of the tilting wings 31 can be maximally utilized, and at the same time, the auxiliary propellers 32 provide the pulling force required for the forward flying, avoiding the aerodynamic drag and power consumption added by tilting the propeller discs of the main propellers 2 in a conventional manner.
Further, the main wing 311 is a main wing box structure formed by fixedly connecting a front beam 3111, a rear beam 3112, a rib 3113 and a skin into a whole, and the wing profile is determined according to the requirement of flight performance, which is not limited herein. The front spar 3111 is located at a chord length of 20% to 30% from the leading edge of the wing, the rear spar 3112 is located at a chord length of about 60% to 70% from the leading edge of the wing, and specifically, in this embodiment, the front spar 3111 is selected to be at a chord length of 25% from the leading edge of the wing, and the rear spar 3112 is located at a chord length of about 65% from the leading edge of the wing. The front beams 3111 of the two tilting wings 31 as one rotation shaft traverse the frame 1 through mounting bearings mounted on both side frames at the lower part of the front end of the frame 1; the rear beams 3112 of the two tilting wings 31 are also one continuous beam, the middle section of the rear beams 3112 is kept under the frame 1 and is connected with the frame through a driving device, the lower end of the driving device is hinged to the rear beams 3112, the upper end of the driving device is hinged to the upper edges of frames on two sides of the frame 1, the tilting wings 31 can rotate around the front beams 3111 in the range of 0-90 degrees under the driving of the driving device, and when the tilting wings 31 rotate to the rear beams 3112 are contacted with the lower surface of the frame 1, locking is achieved to assist the front beams 3111 to support the frame, lifting force is transmitted, load of the front beams 3111 is reduced, and service life is prolonged.
Further, the driving device comprises a telescopic device hinged on the rear beam 3112 and the frame 1. The tilting wing 31 rotates around the front beam 3111 by telescoping of the telescoping device, so that the tilting wing assembly 3 is switched between the landing mode and the front flying mode. In other embodiments, the tilting wing assembly 3 may be further driven by a servo motor mounted at the front end of the frame 1, and the worm gear mechanism is driven by the servo motor to drive the front beam 3111 to rotate and lock at 0-90 degrees.
In addition, the span length of the tilting airfoil 31 in the left-right direction is L, and the mounting point of the auxiliary propeller 32 is spaced from the root of the tilting airfoil 31 by a distance a, so that 0.4L is equal to or less than a and equal to or less than 0.5L, so that two auxiliary propellers 32 mounted on both sides of the front end of the frame and the main propeller 2 mounted on the rear end of the frame form a three-point power layout. The auxiliary propellers 32 on the tilting wings 31 on the two sides of the front end of the frame 1 and the main propellers 2 on the rear end of the frame 1 form a three-point power layout, and based on a three-point balance principle, the aircraft 1000 has enough pitching and rolling static stability redundancy in vertical take-off and landing and hovering states, and pitch and rolling are controlled through speed change and differential motion of the two auxiliary propellers 32. On this basis, the rotation diameter of the auxiliary propeller 32 is smaller than the length of the tilting wing 31, so that the air flow can cover the tilting wing 31 when the auxiliary propeller 32 rotates, and the tilting wing 31 is subjected to lift-increasing effect.
In addition, in the present embodiment, two of the tilting wings 31 are installed at both sides of the front end of the frame 1, and the distance between the tilting wings and the main rotor 2 installed at the rear end of the frame 1 is required to satisfy the following two conditions: first, a distance of at least 0.5m is reserved between the front edge of the projection surface when the main rotor 2 rotates and the rear edge of the tilting airfoil 31 when the main rotor 2 is in the forward flight mode, and second, a distance of at least 0.5m is reserved between the front edge of the projection surface when the main rotor 2 rotates and the rear edge of the projection surface when the auxiliary rotor 32 rotates on the tilting airfoil 31 when the main rotor 2 is in the landing mode. The objective is to minimize the air flow interference between the main rotor 2 and the auxiliary rotor 32 during the landing mode, and to generate a significant lift-increasing effect on the tilting airfoil 31 by the downwash air flow generated by the main rotor 2 during the forward flight mode.
In this embodiment, a rotation shaft is mounted on the rib 3113 between 50% and 100% span of the rear beam 3112 of the tilting wing 31 and is fixedly connected to the aileron 312, so that the aileron 312 has a rotation angle β, and β is greater than or equal to-30 ° and less than or equal to-30 °. The wing span length of the tilting airfoil 31 in the left and right directions is L, the chord length in the front and rear directions is C, the length of the aileron 312 in the left and right directions is B, and the width is D, so that B is more than or equal to 0.3L and less than or equal to 0.5L, and D is more than or equal to 0.3C and less than or equal to 0.4C. In the landing mode, the ailerons mounted on the two tilting wings on both sides of the frame can provide yaw rotation moment for the aircraft by differential motion; in the forward flight mode, the ailerons may provide pitch and roll moments to the aircraft by co-rotating or differential motion.
Furthermore, the aircraft 1000 is movably provided with a landing gear at a position at the bottom of the frame 1, so that on a movable stroke of the landing gear, the landing gear has a storage position attached to the frame 1 and a support position movable to a position below the frame 1 to support the aircraft 1000 against a support surface. The landing gear is movably arranged to retract and retract the landing gear, so that the air resistance of the landing gear on the way of the flight of the aircraft 1000 is reduced, and the influence of the air resistance on the flight of the aircraft 1000 is avoided.
Further, the landing gear includes a nose landing gear 4 mounted to the tilting wing 31 and a rear landing gear 5 movably mounted to the rear end of the frame 1. Specifically, the root of the tilting wing 31 is provided with the nose landing gear 4 along the front-rear chord direction, the nose landing gear 4 rotates synchronously with the tilting wing 31 around the left-right axis so that in the landing mode, the nose landing gear 4 rotates to a vertical position along with the tilting wing 31, and the aircraft 1000 is supported by a supporting surface under the frame 1; in the forward flight mode, the nose landing gear 4 rotates backward with the tilting wing 31 to a horizontal position so as to be attached to and stored on both sides of the bottom of the frame. When the tilt wing assembly 3 is in the landing mode, the nose landing gear 4 rotates with the tilt wing 31 to a vertical position, providing support for the aircraft 1000; when the tilt wing assembly 3 is in the forward flight mode, the nose landing gear 4 rotates with the tilt wing 31 rearward and upward to a position approximately parallel to the fuselage to reduce aerodynamic drag. In particular, in the embodiment of flight and storage or transport, the aircraft 1000 may lock the nose landing gear 4 on both sides of the frame 1 after rearward rotation to compress the space size.
In addition, rear landing gears 5 are hinged on both sides of the rear end of the frame 1, so that the rear landing gears 5 can rotate along the left-right direction axis of the hinge, and the rear landing gears 5 have a storage position attached to both sides of the frame 1 in a forward rotation manner, a support position rotated downward to support the aircraft 1000 against a support surface, and a flying position rotated backward to a horizontal direction on the rotation stroke of the rear landing gears 5; the tail end of the rear landing gear 5 is provided with a vertical tail wing 51, and the vertical tail wing 51 is provided with a steering rudder, and when the rear landing gear 5 is positioned at the flying position, the vertical tail wing 51 is vertically arranged to control the heading of the aircraft 1000. The rear landing gear 5 is mounted on both sides of the rear end of the frame 1 by means of a hinge, and is connected to the fuselage by means of a driving member and a link mechanism, so that the rear landing gear 5 can be rotated 160 degrees and switched between the storage position, the supporting position and the flying position. When the aircraft 1000 is in a retracted and transported state, the rear landing gear 5 can drive the vertical tail 51 to rotate forward to the retracted position below the two sides of the frame 1; in the landing mode, the rear landing gear 5 rotates to the support position for use as a rear landing gear 4 to provide support for the aircraft 1000; in the forward flight mode, the rear landing gear 5 rotates upwards and backwards to a position close to parallel to the frame 1, so that the vertical tail fin 51 is in a vertical arrangement, at this time, the vertical tail fin 51 is vertically downwards in the incoming flow and the downward washing air flow generated by the main propeller 2, and the control surface of the steering rudder can deflect about the rotating shaft thereof by +/-30 degrees under the driving of the steering engine, so that the course control is realized by controlling the control surface. It will be appreciated that the tilt wing assembly 3 shares the shaft and drive means with the nose landing gear 4, and that the mounting of the vertical tail 51 on the rear landing gear 5 provides steering and landing gear 4 functions, both resulting in a lightweight construction and reduced space size for lifting and retraction. On this basis, in the present embodiment, by controlling the pitch, roll and yaw of the aircraft 1000 by manipulating the ailerons 312 and the vertical tail plane 51, a complex mechanism that requires manipulation of the pitch disk and pitch of the main rotor 2 is simplified or even replaced.
Furthermore, the main rotor 2 comprises a coaxial double rotor. The overall size is reduced while meeting the lift requirements. In this embodiment, the auxiliary propeller 32 is rotated to a nearly horizontal position to generate a pulling force, so that the coaxial double propeller can maintain a horizontal state to provide only a lifting force, thereby eliminating an additional aerodynamic resistance and power consumption generated by tilting the propeller disc to generate a pulling force component.
Furthermore, in some embodiments, the co-axial double propellers fixed at the aft end of the fuselage are provided with a forward tilt mounting angle of less than 15 degrees, i.e. the main propeller 2 is provided with a forward tilt mounting angle, and the forward tilt mounting angle is θ, θ < 15 °, so that the aircraft 1000 improves pitch stability in landing mode, in which the co-axial double propellers provide part of the thrust and achieve cyclic pitching.
The utility model also proposes a flight transportation device comprising the aircraft 1000, the specific structure of the aircraft 1000 being referred to the above embodiments. Because the flight transportation device adopts all the technical schemes of all the embodiments, the flight transportation device at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical schemes of the embodiments, and the description is omitted herein. The lower end of the frame 1 of the aircraft 1000 is used for hanging a load for flying and transporting. It can be appreciated that the aircraft 1000 may fly independently to a designated location as a carrying platform in an unmanned plane manner, or may be assembled with a cabin at the lower part of the frame 1 or hang cargo for air transportation to meet the multipurpose demands of users.
Specifically, the frame 1 is an elongated box structure, and does not include a cabin or a cargo compartment, the tilting wings 31 are installed in parallel on both sides of the front end of the frame 1, the main rotor 2 is installed on the rear end of the frame, a hub and a variable pitch rotor or a simplified fixed rotor of a conventional helicopter can be used, and the rotor can be folded to the upper part of the frame when parked on the ground.
