Abstract

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: flying car comprises bearing body, hybrid power plant, ICE, running gear and four propellers. Sais propellers are drive by motors running in opposite directions and at different angular velocities. Said motors are fed by electrical generators driven by said ICE. Two propellers are arranged at car front in symmetry with its lengthwise axis. Two other propellers are arranged at car rear, one above the other at lengthwise shaft, and feature diameter larger than that of first two propellers. Frying vehicle is equipped with hybrid power plant generating electric power for motors of propellers in motion on roads and in flight. Car moves on ground when drive by ICE, transmission and running gear.

EFFECT: accelerated conversion to flying state.

Description

A car with flight performance refers to vehicles capable of traveling on the ground and in the air.

The first serious attempt to create a car capable of flying, was the project of the company "Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor" (USA 1917). The body of this triple car was made of aluminum alloys. The pilot-driver was in front of the cockpit, and behind him were two passengers next to each other. The engine was located in the bow of the car and set the rear wheels in motion through the gearbox and driveshaft. On the other side of the engine, a shaft emerged that propelled the four-blade propeller through belt and chain transmissions. The design of this car used standard wings from the triplane “model L” [P. Bowers. "Aircraft of unconventional schemes." 1991].

There was a construction of the so-called gyroplanes. The Werlvint road gyroplane from Pitcairn (1928) consisted of an all-metal fuselage and a cockpit. A traditional pulling screw was installed in the bow of the apparatus. The engine of the device was placed in the fuselage behind the cockpit; the propeller was driven through the shaft. The engine power during take-off was divided: part of the power was supplied to the rotor for preliminary unwinding, and the rest was transmitted to the rear wheel, ensuring the movement of the device on the road. During ground operation, the rotor blades folded [P. Bowers. "Aircraft of unconventional schemes." 1991].

Another representative is the “Playmobile” (1947). The device looked more like an airplane than a car. It consisted of a steel frame covered with fabric trim. The engine was installed in the bow of the apparatus and served to drive the propeller and rear oversized wheel. The wings had a peculiarity to develop (when moving on the ground) [P. Bowers. "Aircraft of unconventional schemes." 1991].

Also known is the “Flying Car” [Utility Model Patent RU 128556]. “A flying car consists of an automobile part comprising a body, an internal combustion engine, a running gear, a rudder and a handle for controlling elevators, and a flight kit containing wings with ailerons and tail unit. From the engine, with the help of a belt drive, propellers are located, which are located in the upper part of the car. The transmission is designed in such a way that the wheels and screws can work together or separately. The vehicle uses the upper location of the main wing and the lower location of the additional wing. When moving on the ground, the wings and screws are able to fold, and traction is transmitted to the rear wheels. Each wing plane consists of three folding sections that have the ability to hide in special niches on the sides of the car and act as exterior body panels. An additional wing hides in the engine compartment.

The disadvantages of the above models is the need to use wings for flight and, as a result, the need for free space for takeoff and landing.

The technical task is the creation of a universal car with flying operational properties and the possibility of vertical take-off and landing; the absence of wings, which does not require the performance of work, and therefore, the time required to bring the car into flight condition.

The technical problem is solved in that the car with flight performance, consisting of a supporting body, inside which is an internal combustion engine, chassis, transmission, hybrid installation that generates electrical energy, four propellers (two in front and two in rear, located one above the other ) The transmission is designed so that when driving on the ground from an internal combustion engine, the front drive wheels and the electric current generator of the hybrid unit are driven, and during flight only the electric current generator. The vehicle uses a horizontal arrangement of propellers that are built into the car body and are protected from external influences by special retractable blinds while driving on the ground. Propellers are driven by electric motors.

A car with flight performance is a single whole (combination) of a car and an aircraft.

The invention is illustrated by drawings:

- figure 1 shows a car with flight performance, kinematic diagram, top view:

- figure 2 shows a car with flight performance, top view;

- figure 3 shows a car with flight performance, kinematic diagram, side view.

A car with flight performance properties includes: a carrying body 1, front 2 and rear 3 propellers, an internal combustion engine 4, a clutch 5, a gearbox 6, a driven driven 7 and a driven 8 recovery wheels, an electric current generator 9, and batteries 10.

A car with flight performance is as follows. When driving on a road, the car moves with the help of an internal combustion engine 4, the torque of which is converted into the transmission of the car and fed to the front driven steered wheels 7. The car with flight performance is controlled like a regular car.

To take off the car, the propellers 2 and 3 are connected using the electronic control module. The flight altitude is set by a person, and the device is stabilized in air using controllers. In air, the car moves and turns around by changing the angle of the car, which is provided by different angular speeds of rotation of the propellers, which the driver-pilot can set using the screw control module.

Since the propellers 2 and 3 are equipped with electric motors, a hybrid power plant is included in the design of a car with flying performance properties, which includes an internal combustion engine 4, a car transmission, an electric current generator 9, batteries 10, recovery wheels 7 and 8.

The hybrid power plant is designed in such a way that the electric current generator 9 generates electric current constantly: during flight using the internal combustion engine 4, and while driving on the road with the internal combustion engine 4, electric current generator 9 and recovery wheels 7 and 8 The electric charge accumulates in the batteries 10, which are located in the base of the car body 1.

To move through the air does not require a change in the layout of the car. The driver-pilot can carry out all preparation for the flight directly from the driver’s seat by turning on the propellers using the control module.

The development of vehicles capable of driving and flying is an important task for countries with difficult terrain, namely, territories with low bearing capacity of soils (tundra, swamps), mountainous areas, the construction of roads for which is fraught with high financial costs. In addition, such vehicles will make it possible to connect settlements torn off from highways and roads, to deliver goods along the road “from door to door”, and will also allow more efficient development of new areas. With the advent of such vehicles, it becomes possible to avoid movement on public roads, and in the case of deteriorating weather conditions, it is easy to return to the road and continue on the road.
