Abstract

The article is an unmanned aerial vehicle capable of vertical take-off and landing. During horizontal flight, the front of the unmanned aerial vehicle is oriented horizontally, as shown in the [right side view] and the like. Also, during takeoff and landing, as shown in [Reference Figure 1], the unmanned aerial vehicle can take off and land (glide) with the front facing substantially horizontally (slightly above the horizontal direction), or [Reference Figure 2]. ], vertical take-off and landing can also be performed with the front of the unmanned aerial vehicle facing upward and the tail downward. The unmanned aerial vehicle pertaining to this article comprises a fuselage, four main wings each connected to the fuselage in an X-shape when viewed from the front, and two wings provided on each of the four main wings for obtaining lift or propulsion force. and a skid mounted on the underside of the unmanned aerial vehicle. Of the four main wings, the two upper wings on the upper side when viewed from the front are swept back and dihedral, and the two lower wings on the lower side of the four main wings are swept and dihedral. ing. This enables the unmanned aerial vehicle to glide with its front facing substantially horizontally during takeoff and landing in an emergency or in normal times. The eight propellers are composed of four inner propellers provided inside the leading edges of the four main wings and four outer propellers provided outside the leading edges of the four main wings. During flight, the skid can be placed along the bottom of the fuselage as shown in [Right Side View], etc., and during gliding, the skid can be positioned so that the wing does not touch the ground, as shown in [Reference Figure 1]. The skid can be pulled out from the fuselage to a degree, and the skid can also be slid using only the thrust of the propeller without pulling it out of the fuselage. During vertical takeoff and landing, as shown in [Reference Figure 2], the skid can be extended to the maximum and the front of the unmanned aerial vehicle can face upward. The front of the aircraft can also be oriented upward.
