Description

人力飛行体験装置Human-powered flight experience device
　本発明は、操縦者が自分の手足を動かして空を飛ぶ体験をすることができる、人力飛行体験装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a human-powered flight experience apparatus that allows a pilot to move his or her hands to fly in the sky.
　人間が空を飛ぶことを疑似体験する遊戯装置として、人間を高所から吊るしてスイングする装置が知られている。この装置を利用すれば、ケーブルに繋がれた人間が高所から飛び降りることでカーブ軌道を描いてスイングし、あたかも空を飛んでいるような感覚を味わうことができる。 A device for hanging and swinging a person from a high place is known as a game device that simulates human beings flying in the sky. Using this device, a person connected to a cable jumps down from a high place, can draw a curve track and swing, and can feel as if it is flying in the sky.
　この装置を利用すれば、空中飛行を疑似体験することはできるものの、飛行ルートとなる軌道は予め決まっており、そこから逸脱することはない。すなわち、搭乗者は飛行を能動的に制御することができず、ただ重力に任せて振り子運動するだけであった。 With this device, although it is possible to simulate airborne flight, the trajectory serving as the flight route is predetermined and does not deviate from it. That is, the passenger was not able to control the flight actively, but was merely pendulum driven by gravity.
　そこで、ケーブルで繋がれてスイングする装置に、動力源を併用することで、能動的に飛行を制御することが可能な遊戯装置が知られている。特許文献１には、ケーブルで高所から吊るされた人間がモータ駆動のプロペラを背負い、プロペラの出力及び方向舵を制御することによって、飛行ルートを自分の意思で選択できるような装置が記載されている（特許文献１、図４参照）。 Therefore, there is known a game apparatus capable of actively controlling flight by using a power source together with a device connected by a cable and swinging. Patent Document 1 describes a device in which a human being suspended from a high place by a cable carries a motor-driven propeller and controls the output of the propeller and the rudder to select the flight route at his own discretion. (See Patent Document 1 and FIG. 4).
　しかし特許文献１に記載の装置を使用した場合、人間が制御するのはモータの出力と方向舵であり、これらはコントローラを操作だけで実現できる。すなわち、空を飛ぶにあたって人間はほとんど身体を動かすことはなく、自力で飛んでいるという感覚は得られない。 However, when the device described in Patent Document 1 is used, what is controlled by a human is the output of the motor and the rudder, which can be realized only by operating the controller. In other words, when flying in the sky, humans hardly move their bodies, and there is no sense that they are flying by themselves.
　人類は古来より鳥のように空を飛ぶことを夢見てきた。現代においても羽ばたき飛行への憧れ抱く人は多い。しかし特許文献１の装置では「鳥のように」飛びたいという欲求を満足することはできなかった。 Mankind has dreamed of flying like a bird since ancient times. Even today, there are many people who yearn for flapping flight. However, the device of Patent Document 1 can not satisfy the desire to fly "like a bird".

［第一実施形態］
　本発明の第一実施形態に係る人力飛行体験装置について、図１～７に基づき説明する。人力飛行体験装置１は、図１に示すように、ケーブル１０で上から吊るされた操縦者Ｐが、腕Ａに主翼３０，３０を装着し、脚Ｌに尾翼８０，８０を装着して構成される。 First Embodiment
A human-powered flight experience apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. The human-powered flight experience apparatus 1 is configured such that the pilot P suspended from above with the cable 10 mounts the main wings 30, 30 on the arm A and mounts the tail 80, 80 on the leg L as shown in FIG. Be done.
　ケーブル１０は、操縦者Ｐを上から吊るす。ケーブル１０は、十分な強度を有するワイヤーから成る。ケーブル１０は体育館などの広い室内の天井や、クレーンなどの支持点１１から吊り下げられる。また、渓谷に架けられた橋などから吊り下げることもできる。 The cable 10 suspends the pilot P from above. The cable 10 consists of a wire having sufficient strength. The cable 10 is suspended from a large indoor ceiling such as a gymnasium and a support point 11 such as a crane. You can also hang it from a bridge over the valley.
　ケーブル１０と操縦者Ｐとは、操縦者Ｐが着用するハーネス２０を介して結合される。ハーネス２０の背中側にはリングなどの結合具が設けられており、カラビナやシャックルなどを適宜使用してケーブル１０に結合される。これにより、操縦者Ｐがうつ伏せになるような姿勢でケーブル１０に吊るされる。ハーネス２０は、ハンググライダーやスカイダイビング等のスカイスポーツ用のハーネスや、スタントアクション用のハーネスを使用することができる。 The cable 10 and the pilot P are coupled via a harness 20 worn by the pilot P. A coupler such as a ring is provided on the back side of the harness 20 and is coupled to the cable 10 using a carabiner or a shackle as appropriate. As a result, the operator P is hung on the cable 10 in such a posture as to lie prone. The harness 20 can use a harness for sky sports such as a hang glider or sky diving, or a harness for stunt action.
　操縦者Ｐの左右の腕Ａには主翼３０が装着されている。操縦者Ｐがうつ伏せの姿勢で腕Ａを上下に動かすことによって、主翼３０を羽ばたかせることができる。 The main wing 30 is mounted on the left and right arms A of the pilot P. The main wing 30 can be flapped by moving the arm A up and down in the prone position.
　操縦者Ｐの左右の脚Ｌには尾翼８０が水平に装着されている。操縦者Ｐがうつ伏せの姿勢で脚Ｌを上下に動かすことによって、尾翼８０を上下に動かすことができる。 Tails 80 are mounted horizontally on the left and right legs L of the pilot P. The tail wing 80 can be moved up and down by moving the leg L up and down in the prone position.
　操縦者Ｐはケーブル１０により吊るされているため、空を飛ぶためには揚力を得る必要はなく、推力さえあれば飛行を体験することができる。推力は主翼３０及び尾翼８０により発生する。以下に推力が発生する原理を説明する。 Since the pilot P is suspended by the cable 10, it is not necessary to obtain lift to fly in the sky, and it is possible to experience flight only by thrust. Thrust is generated by the main wing 30 and the tail wing 80. The principle of thrust generation will be described below.
　図２は、本発明の実施形態に係る主翼３０の翼断面を示したものである。前縁ＬＥは丸く滑らかであり、後縁ＴＥは鋭角である。主翼３０の翼型は翼弦に関して上下対称の形状である。最大翼厚となる位置は前縁ＬＥの近傍であり、本実施形態では前縁から翼弦長の約２０％の位置が最大翼厚部となっている。最大翼厚部付近と後縁ＴＥとは直線で結ばれ、概ね平面状となっている。 FIG. 2 shows a wing cross section of a main wing 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The leading edge LE is round and smooth, and the trailing edge TE is acute. The wing shape of the main wing 30 is symmetrical in the vertical direction with respect to the chord. The position where the maximum blade thickness is obtained is in the vicinity of the leading edge LE. In the present embodiment, the position of about 20% of the chord length from the leading edge is the maximum blade thickness portion. The vicinity of the maximum blade thickness and the trailing edge TE are connected in a straight line, and are generally planar.
　次に、この主翼３０を羽ばたかせた時に推力が発生することを、図３に基づいて説明する。図３は、主翼３０を上下に動かした場合の空気の流れを模式的に表した図である。主翼３０を下に動かした場合、図３（ａ）に示すように、主翼３０より下にある空気は、主翼３０の下面に当り前後いずれかに進行方向を変える。このとき、主翼３０の最大翼厚部は前縁近傍にあるので、前方に偏向する空気より後方に偏向する空気の量が多い。そのため、主翼３０には前方に向く力、すなわち推力が発生する。主翼３０を上に動かした場合も同様に、図３（ｂ）に示すように、主翼３０より上にある空気は、主翼３０の上面に当り前後いずれかに進行方向を変える。このとき、主翼３０の最大翼厚部は前縁近傍にあるので、前方に偏向する空気より後方に偏向する空気の量が多い。そのため、主翼３０には前方に向く力、すなわち推力が発生する。 Next, the generation of thrust when the main wing 30 flaps will be described based on FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing the flow of air when the main wing 30 is moved up and down. When the main wing 30 is moved downward, as shown in FIG. 3A, the air below the main wing 30 hits the lower surface of the main wing 30, and changes its traveling direction either forward or backward. At this time, since the maximum blade thickness of the main wing 30 is near the leading edge, a large amount of air is deflected rearward than air deflected forward. Therefore, a force, that is, a thrust, directed forward is generated on the main wing 30. Similarly, when the main wing 30 is moved upward, as shown in FIG. 3B, the air above the main wing 30 hits the upper surface of the main wing 30, and changes its traveling direction either forward or backward. At this time, since the maximum blade thickness of the main wing 30 is near the leading edge, a large amount of air is deflected rearward than air deflected forward. Therefore, a force, that is, a thrust, directed forward is generated on the main wing 30.
　このように、操縦者Ｐが主翼３０を上下に動かす、すなわち羽ばたき運動をすることによって、推力を得ることができる。操縦者Ｐは、ケーブル１０により吊るされているため揚力は必要なく、推力だけで飛ぶことが可能となる。 Thus, the thrust can be obtained by the pilot P moving the main wing 30 up and down, that is, by fluttering motion. Since the pilot P is suspended by the cable 10, no lift is necessary, and it is possible to fly only by the thrust.
　なお、主翼３０において最大翼厚部が前縁から翼弦長の５０％以内であれば、後方に偏向する空気の量が多いため、推力を得ることができる。最大翼厚部は前縁に近い方が、効率的に推力を得ることができる。 If the maximum blade thickness in the main wing 30 is within 50% of the chord length from the leading edge, the amount of air deflected rearward can be large, and thus thrust can be obtained. The thrust can be efficiently obtained when the maximum blade thickness is closer to the leading edge.
　また、推力を発生するのは主翼３０だけではなく、尾翼８０によっても推力を得ることができる。尾翼８０を用いて推力を得る方法は後述する。 Also, not only the main wing 30 but also the tail wing 80 can generate thrust. The method of obtaining thrust using the tail wing 80 will be described later.
　次に、発明の第一実施形態に係る人力飛行体験装置を使用した飛行体験の一例を、図４に基づいて説明する。操縦者Ｐは、静止状態から主翼３０を羽ばたかせることによって、推力を得て前進する。このとき、左右いずれか一方の主翼３０のストロークを大きくするなどして、左右の推力を非対称にすると、旋回する。そして徐々に推力を大きくしていくと、螺旋状に旋回半径が大きくなっていく。そして、図４に示すように、大きな旋回半径で飛べるようになる。このとき、まるで鳥になって空を飛んでいるかのような体験をすることができる。 Next, an example of a flight experience using the human-powered flight experience apparatus according to the first embodiment of the invention will be described based on FIG. The pilot P gains thrust and moves forward by flapping the wing 30 from the stationary state. At this time, if the left and right thrusts are made asymmetric by, for example, increasing the stroke of either the left or right main wing 30, the vehicle will turn. And as the thrust is gradually increased, the turning radius increases in a spiral. And, as shown in FIG. 4, it can fly with a large turning radius. At this time, you can experience as if you were flying in the sky as a bird.
　なお、飛行経路は図４に示すような経路に限られることはなく、スキルを磨くことで、例えば８の字状に飛ぶことも、また特定のコースをスラロームのように飛ぶことも可能となる。また、タイムトライアルのような競技を行うことも可能である。 Note that the flight path is not limited to the path shown in FIG. 4, and it is possible to fly in a figure of eight, for example, or to fly a specific course like a slalom by polishing the skill. . It is also possible to play a competition like a time trial.
　次に、本実施形態に係る人力飛行体験装置における主翼３０の構造について、図５，６に基づいて説明する。図５は、本発明の第二実施形態に係る人力飛行体験装置における主翼を外板の一部を破断して示す図であって、（ａ）は平面図、（ｂ）は底面図である。図６は、本発明の第一実施形態に係る人力飛行体験装置における主翼を示す図であって、（ａ）は図５のＡ－Ａ矢視を示す矢視図であり、（ｂ）は図５のＢ－Ｂ矢視を示す矢視図であり、（ｃ）は図５のＣ－Ｃ矢視を示す矢視図である。 Next, the structure of the main wing 30 in the human-powered flight experience apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described based on FIGS. FIG. 5 is a view showing the main wing in the human-powered flight experience apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention with a part of the outer plate broken away, wherein (a) is a plan view and (b) is a bottom view. . FIG. 6 is a view showing a main wing in the human-powered flight experience apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention, wherein (a) is a view as seen from the arrow AA in FIG. FIG. 6 is an arrow view showing a B-B arrow view of FIG. 5 and (c) is an arrow view showing a C-C arrow view of FIG. 5;
　主翼３０はその外側が外板３１で覆われており、外板３１の内側に翼型に成形されたリブ３２，３３，３４，３５が設けられている。外板３１は樹脂のシート、段ボールやプラスチック段ボールを湾曲することで構成されている。 The outer side of the main wing 30 is covered with the outer plate 31, and the inner side of the outer plate 31 is provided with ribs 32, 33, 34, 35 shaped into a wing shape. The outer plate 31 is formed by curving a sheet of resin, cardboard or plastic cardboard.
　リブ３２，３３，３４，３５は発泡スチロール、発泡ポリスチレンや発泡ウレタンなどの軽量な樹脂からなる。外板３１とリブ３２，３３，３４，３５とは、接着などの適宜な方法で結合されている。 The ribs 32, 33, 34, 35 are made of lightweight resin such as expanded polystyrene, expanded polystyrene or expanded urethane. The outer plate 31 and the ribs 32, 33, 34, 35 are joined by an appropriate method such as adhesion.
　主翼３０の翼根側は開放されており、この開口３０ａから操縦者Ｐの腕を挿入可能となっている。また主翼３０の翼端には翼端材３６が設けられている。翼端材３６は外に露出するため、空力的に滑らかに形成されている。翼端材３６は、リブ３２，３３，３４，３５と同様の材料で構成され、接着などの適宜な方法で外板３１に接着される。 The wing root side of the main wing 30 is open, and the arm of the operator P can be inserted from the opening 30a. Further, a wing tip 36 is provided at the wing end of the main wing 30. Since the wing tip 36 is exposed to the outside, it is aerodynamically smoothly formed. The wing tip 36 is made of the same material as the ribs 32, 33, 34, 35, and is bonded to the outer plate 31 by an appropriate method such as bonding.
　リブ３２には、図６（ａ）に示すように、貫通孔３２ａが設けられている。リブ３３は、図６（ｂ）に示すように、翼型の前縁付近が切り欠かれ、概ね三角形の形状を有している。リブ３４には、図６（ｃ）に示すように、内舷側に向けて突き出た把手３７が設けられている。操縦者Ｐの腕が貫通孔３２ａ及びリブ３３の前方の切り欠き部分を通り、手で把手３７を握ることができるようになっている。これにより、操縦者Ｐが把手３７を握って主翼３０を羽ばたかせることが可能となる。 The rib 32 is provided with a through hole 32a as shown in FIG. 6 (a). As shown in FIG. 6 (b), the rib 33 is cut away near the front edge of the airfoil and has a substantially triangular shape. As shown in FIG. 6C, the rib 34 is provided with a handle 37 protruding toward the inner side. The arm of the operator P passes through the through hole 32a and the front notch of the rib 33 so that the handle 37 can be gripped by hand. As a result, the pilot P can hold the handle 37 and fly the wing 30.
　主翼３０にスパン方向の曲げモーメントが作用した場合でも、圧縮応力が発生する側の外板３１が座屈して皺が発生しないように構成されている。すなわち、本実施形態に係る主翼３０は、応力外皮構造（モノコック構造）を有している。段ボールやプラスチック段ボールは、方向によって強度及び剛性が異なるという性質を持っているが、外板３１に段ボールやプラスチック段ボールを使用する場合、強度及び剛性が高い方向を主翼３０のスパン方向に向けることによって、主翼３０を軽量に構成することが可能となる。 Even when a bending moment in the span direction acts on the main wing 30, the outer plate 31 on the side where the compressive stress is generated is configured so as not to buckle and cause a crease. That is, the main wing 30 according to the present embodiment has a stress skin structure (monocoque structure). Corrugated cardboard and plastic corrugated cardboard have the property that strength and rigidity differ depending on the direction, but when corrugated cardboard or plastic corrugated cardboard is used for the outer plate 31, the strength and rigidity are higher by directing the direction to the span direction of the wing 30 The main wing 30 can be configured to be lightweight.
　図５（ｂ）に示すように、外板３１の下面３１ｂには開口３１ｃが設けられている。これにより、操縦者Ｐは、腕に主翼３０を装着したままで、開口３１ｃから手を出して作業をしたり、開口３１ｃから手を出して危険を回避したりすることができる。 As shown in FIG. 5B, the lower surface 31b of the outer plate 31 is provided with an opening 31c. As a result, the pilot P can carry out work by putting his hand out of the opening 31 c or putting his hand out of the opening 31 c to avoid danger, with the main wing 30 attached to the arm.
　なお、把手３７を取り付ける位置は任意に設定することができ、例えば外板３１の下面３１ｂや、開口３１ｃの縁に設けることも可能である。 The position at which the handle 37 is attached can be set arbitrarily, and can be provided, for example, on the lower surface 31 b of the outer plate 31 or the edge of the opening 31 c.
　次に、本実施形態に係る主翼３０の翼型の他の例について、図７に基づいて説明する。図７に示す主翼３０には、その上面ＵＳ及び下面ＬＳそれぞれにおいて、最大翼厚部から後縁に亘って凹面が形成されている。これによって、主翼３０を上下に動かした場合、より多くの空気が後方に向かって流れることになると共に、後方に流れる空気の速度成分において、上下方向の速度成分が少なく、空気がまっすぐ後方に進行するため、効率的に推力を得られることになる。 Next, another example of the airfoil of the main wing 30 according to the present embodiment will be described based on FIG. 7. On the upper surface US and the lower surface LS of the main wing 30 shown in FIG. 7, a concave surface is formed from the maximum wing thickness to the trailing edge. As a result, when the main wing 30 is moved up and down, more air flows backward, and the speed component of the air flowing backward has less speed component in the vertical direction, and the air travels straight backward In order to obtain thrust efficiently.
　なお、上下に凹部を有する形状のリブを使用し、そのリブを巻くように外板を設置すれば、図７に示すような上下面に凹面が形成された主翼３０を構成することが可能となる。 It should be noted that, by using a rib having a shape having recesses on the upper and lower sides and installing an outer plate so as to wind the rib, it is possible to configure the main wing 30 having concaves on the upper and lower surfaces as shown in FIG. Become.
　なお、上述の応力外皮構造の主翼は、外板とリブとが結合されてなる応力外皮構造であるが、軽量な樹脂の塊を削り出すなどして、一体の主翼を構成することも可能である。 In addition, although the main wing of the above-mentioned stress shell structure is a stress shell structure in which an outer plate and a rib are combined, it is possible to form an integrated main wing by scraping out a lightweight resin mass, etc. is there.
［第二実施形態］
　次に、本発明の第二実施形態に係る主翼の構造について、図８，９に基づいて説明する。図８は、本発明の第二実施形態に係る人力飛行体験装置における主翼を外板の一部を破断して示す平面図である。図９は、本発明の第二実施形態に係る人力飛行体験装置における主翼を示す図であって、（ａ）は図８のＤ－Ｄ矢視を示す矢視図であり、（ｂ）は図８のＥ－Ｅ矢視を示す矢視図であって主翼を下に動かした状態の図であり、（ｃ）は図８のＥ－Ｅ矢視を示す矢視図であって主翼を上に動かした状態の図である。 Second Embodiment
Next, the structure of a main wing according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. FIG. 8 is a plan view showing the main wing of the human-powered flight experience apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention with a part of the outer plate broken away. FIG. 9 is a view showing a main wing in a human-powered flight experience apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention, wherein (a) is a view as viewed from the arrow DD in FIG. FIG. 10 is an arrow view showing EE arrow view of FIG. 8 in a state in which the main wing is moved downward, and FIG. 8 (c) is an arrow view view showing EE arrow view of FIG. It is a figure of the state moved up.
　本実施形態に係る主翼３０は、翼根からリブ３４までの間は第一実施形態と同様に構成されており、リブ３４より外舷において、第一実施形態と異なっている。主翼３０の上下面を覆う外板３１は、翼根の開口３０ａからリブ３４まで延びている。リブ３４より外舷において主翼３０を構成するのは、膜４１、前縁材４２、翼型規制部材４３，４４及び翼端材３６である。前縁材４２及び翼型規制部材４３，４４はそれぞれリブ３４及び翼端材３６に結合されている。前縁材４２は、その断面形状が円形であり（図９（ｂ），（ｃ）参照）、リブ３４及び翼端材３６それぞれの前縁を結ぶように設置されている。膜４１は風圧で変形する程度の柔軟な樹脂や繊維のシートからなり、翼型規制部材４３と翼型規制部材４４とで上下に挟まれるように配置されている（図９（ｂ），（ｃ）参照）。 The main wing 30 according to the present embodiment is configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment from the blade root to the rib 34, and is different from the first embodiment in the outer sheath than the rib 34. The outer plate 31 covering the upper and lower surfaces of the main wing 30 extends from the opening 30 a of the wing root to the rib 34. It is the membrane 41, the leading edge member 42, the wing shape restricting members 43 and 44, and the wing tip 36, which constitute the main wing 30 in the outer sheath from the rib 34. The leading edge 42 and the wing-shaped regulating members 43 and 44 are coupled to the rib 34 and the wing tip 36, respectively. The leading edge material 42 has a circular cross-sectional shape (see FIGS. 9B and 9C), and is installed so as to connect the respective leading edges of the rib 34 and the wing tip 36. The film 41 is made of a sheet of a flexible resin or fiber that can be deformed by wind pressure, and is disposed so as to be vertically sandwiched between the wing-shaped restricting member 43 and the wing-shaped restricting member 44 (FIGS. c) see
　膜４１の前縁には、膜４１の縁を巻き回して形成される環状部４１ｃが設けられており、環状部４１ｃ内を前縁材４２が通っている（図９（ｂ），（ｃ）参照）。前縁材４２に対して環状部４１ｃは滑って自由に回転可能である。すなわち、膜４１は、前縁において回転自由な単純支持を受けている。 An annular portion 41c formed by winding the edge of the membrane 41 is provided at the front edge of the membrane 41, and the front edge member 42 passes through the annular portion 41c (FIGS. 9 (b) and (c). )reference). The annular portion 41 c is slidable and freely rotatable with respect to the front edge member 42. That is, the membrane 41 receives simple rotation free support at the leading edge.
　膜４１の後縁内舷側４１ａはリブ３４の後縁に部分的に結合されており、膜４１の後縁外舷側４１ｂは翼端材３６の後縁に部分的に結合されている。これらの結合には接着や幅の細い粘着テープなど適宜な手段が用いられる。膜４１の後縁、すなわち後縁内舷側４１ａと後縁外舷側４１ｂとの間は、スパン方向に弛まずに直線的に張っている。したがって、膜４１は、後縁において回転自由な単純支持を受けている。 The trailing edge inner side 41 a of the membrane 41 is partially coupled to the trailing edge of the rib 34 and the trailing edge 41 b of the membrane 41 is partially coupled to the trailing edge of the wing tip 36. An appropriate means such as adhesion or a narrow adhesive tape is used for these bonds. The trailing edge of the membrane 41, that is, between the trailing edge inner side 41a and the trailing edge outer side 41b, is stretched linearly without slack in the span direction. Thus, the membrane 41 receives simple rotation free support at the trailing edge.
　なお、前縁及び後縁での膜４１の支持方法は適宜の方法を採用することができる。すなわち、後縁も前縁と同様に、膜４１に環状部を設けて後縁を回転可能に支持することもできる。 In addition, the support method of the film | membrane 41 in a front edge and a rear edge can employ | adopt an appropriate method. That is, as with the leading edge, the membrane 41 can be provided with an annular portion to rotatably support the trailing edge as well as the leading edge.
　膜４１は柔軟なシートであるため、風圧を受けて上下に移動する。膜４１は前縁材４２により前縁で単純支持され、後縁内舷側４１ａ及び後縁外舷側４１ｂにおいて後縁で単純支持されている。そのため、膜４１は、翼弦の中間付近において最も大きく上下に移動する。そして翼型規制部材４３，４４が、膜４１の移動を規制してため、膜４１が風圧で上下に移動しても、あらかじめ規定した翼型となる。 Since the membrane 41 is a flexible sheet, it moves up and down by wind pressure. The membrane 41 is simply supported at the leading edge by the leading edge material 42 and is simply supported at the trailing edge at the trailing edge inner side 41a and the trailing edge mantle side 41b. Therefore, the membrane 41 moves up and down most around the middle of the chord. And since the wing | blade type | mold control members 43 and 44 control the movement of the film | membrane 41, even if the film | membrane 41 moves up and down with a wind pressure, it becomes the wing | blade shape prescribed beforehand.
　次に、本実施形態に係る主翼３０を上下に動かした場合の、リブ３４より外舷側における空気の流れについて、図９（ｂ）及び（ｃ）に基づいて説明する。 Next, the flow of air from the rib 34 on the side of the mantle when the main wing 30 according to the present embodiment is moved up and down will be described based on FIGS. 9 (b) and 9 (c).
　主翼３０を下に動かした場合、図９（ｂ）に示すように、膜４１が、前縁および後縁で支持されつつ、風圧により上に押し上げられ、翼弦中央付近で翼型規制部材４３に当って、形状が規定される。主翼３０より下にある空気は、膜４１の下面に当り進行方向を変える。このとき、膜４１の下面は、凹面となっている。すなわち、図７に示した翼型と同様に、多くの空気が後方に偏向するとともに、上下方向の速度成分が少なく、まっすぐ後方に進行する。 When the main wing 30 is moved downward, as shown in FIG. 9B, the membrane 41 is pushed up by the wind pressure while being supported by the leading edge and the trailing edge, and the wing-shaped regulating member 43 near the chord center The shape is defined. The air below the main wing 30 strikes the lower surface of the membrane 41 and changes its traveling direction. At this time, the lower surface of the film 41 is concave. That is, as in the case of the airfoil shown in FIG. 7, a large amount of air is deflected rearward, and the velocity component in the vertical direction is small, and the air travels straight backward.
　主翼３０を上に動かした場合も同様に、図９（ｃ）に示すように、膜４１が、前縁および後縁で支持されつつ、風圧により下に押し下げられ翼弦中央付近で翼型規制部材４４に当って、形状が規定される。主翼３０より上にある空気は、膜４１の上面に当り進行方向を変える。このとき、膜４１の上面は、凹面となっている。すなわち、図７に示した翼型と同様に、多くの空気が後方に偏向するとともに、上下方向の速度成分が少なく、まっすぐ後方に進行する。 Similarly, as shown in FIG. 9C, when the main wing 30 is moved upward, the membrane 41 is pushed down by the wind pressure while being supported by the leading edge and the trailing edge, and the wing shape control is performed near the chord center The shape is defined at the member 44. The air above the main wing 30 hits the top surface of the membrane 41 and changes its traveling direction. At this time, the upper surface of the film 41 is concave. That is, as in the case of the airfoil shown in FIG. 7, a large amount of air is deflected rearward, and the velocity component in the vertical direction is small, and the air travels straight backward.
　このように、主翼３０を上下に動かした場合、より多くの空気が後方に向かって流れると共に、後方に流れる空気の速度成分がについて、上下方向の速度成分が少なく、まっすぐ後方に進行するため、効率的に推力を得られることになる。 In this way, when the main wing 30 is moved up and down, more air flows backward and the velocity component of the air flowing backward has less velocity component in the vertical direction and proceeds straight backward. The thrust can be obtained efficiently.
［第三実施形態］
　次に、本発明の第三実施形態に係る主翼の構造について、図１０に基づいて説明する。図１０は、本発明の第三実施形態に係る人力飛行体験装置における主翼を装着した操縦者を見る正面図であって、（ａ）は主翼を下に動かした状態の図であり、（ｂ）は主翼を上に動かした状態の図であり、（ｃ）は（ａ）の部分Ｆを拡大して示す拡大図である。 Third Embodiment
Next, the structure of a main wing according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG. FIG. 10 is a front view looking at a pilot equipped with a main wing in the human-powered flight experience apparatus according to the third embodiment of the present invention, wherein (a) is a view in which the main wing is moved downward; FIG. 6 is a view of a state in which the main wing is moved upward, and FIG. 7 (c) is an enlarged view showing a part F of FIG.
　図１０に示すように、本実施形態に係る主翼３０は、操縦者の胴体に隣接する内舷翼５０と、内舷翼５０の外側に配置された外舷翼６０とに分割されている。内舷翼５０及び外舷翼６０はそれぞれ応力外皮構造である。図１０（ｃ）に示すように、外舷翼６０は、ヒンジ７０を介して内舷翼５０に結合されている。ヒンジ７０の回転軸は翼弦方向であり、これにより、外舷翼６０は内舷翼５０に対して翼弦方向の回転軸を中心として、回転可能となっている。ヒンジ７０は公知の構成のものを用いることができる。 As shown in FIG. 10, the main wing 30 according to the present embodiment is divided into an inner wing 50 adjacent to the operator's body and an outer wing 60 disposed outside the inner wing 50. The inner wing 50 and the outer wing 60 each have a stress skin structure. As shown in FIG. 10 (c), the winglet 60 is coupled to the winglet 50 via a hinge 70. The rotation axis of the hinge 70 is in the chord direction, whereby the winglet 60 is rotatable relative to the inner wing 50 about the rotation axis in the chord direction. The hinge 70 may have a known configuration.
　内舷翼５０には、操縦者Ｐの腕がスパン方向に貫通する孔が設けられており、操縦者Ｐの手が内舷翼５０と外舷翼６０との結合部付近に到達する。図１０（ｃ）に示すように、外舷翼６０に把手６３が設けられており、操縦者Ｐが把手６３を操作することによって、外舷翼６０のヒンジ７０回りの回転を制御することができる。なお、内舷翼５０における操縦者Ｐの腕がスパン方向に貫通する孔は、第一実施形態と同様に構成することで設けることができる。 The inner wing 50 is provided with a hole through which the arm of the operator P passes in the span direction, and the hand of the pilot P reaches near the joint portion between the inner wing 50 and the outer wing 60. As shown in FIG. 10C, the outer wing 60 is provided with a handle 63, and the pilot P controls the rotation of the outer wing 60 around the hinge 70 by operating the handle 63. it can. In addition, the hole which the pilot's P arm in inner wing | blade 50 penetrates in a span direction can be provided by comprising similarly to 1st embodiment.
　次に、本実施形態に係る主翼３０を上下に動かした場合について説明する。 Next, a case where the main wing 30 according to the present embodiment is moved up and down will be described.
　主翼３０を下に動かす場合は、外舷翼６０をヒンジ７０回りに下向きに回転させて、内舷翼５０より更に下に移動させる（図１０（ａ）参照）。これにより、外舷翼６０は下方向に移動するストロークが大きくなり、大きな推力を得ることができる。 When the main wing 30 is to be moved downward, the outer wing 60 is rotated downward about the hinge 70 to move it further below the inner wing 50 (see FIG. 10A). As a result, the stroke of the envelope wing 60 moving downward increases, and a large thrust can be obtained.
　主翼３０を上に動かす場合は、外舷翼６０をヒンジ７０回りに上向きに回転させて、内舷翼５０より更に上に移動させる（図１０（ｂ）参照）。これにより、外舷翼６０は上方向に移動するストロークが大きくなり、推力が更に増すことになる。 When the main wing 30 is moved upward, the outer wing 60 is rotated upward about the hinge 70 to move it further above the inner wing 50 (see FIG. 10B). As a result, the stroke of the sheath wing 60 moving upward increases, and the thrust further increases.
　なお、内舷翼５０と外舷翼６０とを結合するのに、ヒンジ７０ではなく、任意のベアリングや簡易な軸受構造（例えばボールとボール受けの組合せ）を使用することもできる。また、内舷翼５０と外舷翼６０とをゴムひもなどで結合して、内舷翼５０と外舷翼６０とがなす角が所定の角度に戻るように、復元力を付与する構成にすることも可能である。 Note that, instead of the hinge 70, any bearing or a simple bearing structure (for example, a combination of a ball and a ball receiver) can be used to connect the inner wing 50 and the outer wing 60. In addition, the inner wing 50 and the outer wing 60 are connected by a rubber cord or the like, and a restoring force is applied so that the angle between the inner wing 50 and the outer wing 60 returns to a predetermined angle. It is also possible.
　なお上記の主翼は、手首の力や握力を使って把手６３を操作し、外舷翼６０を上下に動かす構成となっているが、外舷翼６０に操縦索を取り付けて、腕力で操縦索を引っ張って外舷翼６０を上下に動かすよう構成することも可能である。 The wing described above is configured to operate the handle 63 using the force and grip of the wrist to move the wing wing 60 up and down. It is also possible to configure to move the winglet 60 up and down by pulling the.
［第四実施形態］
　次に、本発明の第四実施形態に係る主翼の構造について、図１１，１２に基づいて説明する。図１１は、本発明の第四実施形態に係る人力飛行体験装置における主翼を外板の一部を破断して示す平面図である。図１２は、本発明の第四実施形態に係る人力飛行体験装置における主翼を示す図であって、（ａ）は図１１のＨ－Ｈ矢視を示す矢視図であり、（ｂ）は図１１のＪ－Ｊ矢視を示す矢視図である。 Fourth Embodiment
Next, the structure of a main wing according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. FIG. 11 is a plan view showing the main wing of the human-powered flight experience apparatus according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention with a part of the outer plate broken away. FIG. 12 is a view showing a main wing in a human-powered flight experience apparatus according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, wherein (a) is an arrow view showing HH arrow view of FIG. It is an arrow directional view which shows the JJ arrow of FIG.
　本実施形態に係る主翼３０は、操縦者の胴体に隣接する内舷翼５０と、内舷翼５０の外側に配置された外舷翼６０とで構成されている。このうち内舷翼５０は応力外皮構造であり、翼根からリブ５３４までは第一実施形態の主翼３０と同様に構成されている。内舷翼５０の上下面を覆う外板５１は、翼根の開口５０ａからリブ５３４まで延びている。 The main wing 30 according to the present embodiment is composed of an inner wing 50 adjacent to the operator's body and an outer wing 60 disposed outside the inner wing 50. Among them, the inner wing 50 has a stress skin structure, and the blade root to the rib 534 are configured in the same manner as the main wing 30 of the first embodiment. The outer plate 51 covering the upper and lower surfaces of the inner wing 50 extends from the opening 50 a of the blade root to the rib 534.
　主翼３０において、リブ５３４より外舷は外舷翼６０を構成しており、外舷翼６０は、第二実施形態に係る主翼３０の外舷部分と概ね同様の構成である。すなわち、外舷翼６０を構成するのは、膜６４１、前縁材６４２、翼型規制部材６４３，６４４及び翼端材６３６である。前縁材６４２はリブ５３４及び翼端材６３６に結合されている。前縁材６４２は、その断面形状が円形であり、リブ５３４及び翼端材６３６それぞれの前縁を結ぶように設置されている。 In the main wing 30, the outer wing constitutes the outer wing 60 from the rib 534, and the outer wing 60 has substantially the same configuration as the outer wing portion of the main wing 30 according to the second embodiment. That is, it is the membrane 641, the leading edge 642, the wing type regulating members 643 and 644, and the wing tip 636 that make up the winglet 60. The leading edge 642 is coupled to the rib 534 and the wing tip 636. The leading edge 642 has a circular cross-sectional shape, and is installed to connect the leading edges of the rib 534 and the wing tip 636, respectively.
　翼型規制部材６４３，６４４は、リブ５３４の外舷側に隣接する回転体６１１と、翼端材６３６とを架け渡すように設置されている。リブ５３４の内舷側には把手６３７が設けられており、リブ５３４に設けられた貫通孔５３４ａを通って、把手６３７は回転体６１１に結合されている。把手６３７を操作することでよって、回転体６１１はスパン方向に延びる軸を中心に回転する（図１２（ｂ）参照）。回転体６１１が回転することにより、回転体６１１に結合された翼型規制部材６４３，６４４も追随して回転し、翼型規制部材６４３，６４４が回転することによって、これらに結合された翼端材６３６も回転する。すなわち、把手６３７を操作することで、外舷翼６０をスパン方向に延びる軸周りに回転させることができる。 The wing shape restricting members 643 and 644 are installed to bridge the rotor 611 adjacent to the mantle side of the rib 534 and the wing tip 636. A handle 637 is provided on the inner side of the rib 534, and the handle 637 is coupled to the rotating body 611 through a through hole 534 a provided in the rib 534. By operating the handle 637, the rotating body 611 rotates about an axis extending in the span direction (see FIG. 12B). The rotation of the rotating body 611 causes the wing-shaped restricting members 643 and 644 coupled to the rotating body 611 to follow and rotate, and the wing-shaped restricting members 643 and 644 rotate to thereby connect the wing tips coupled thereto. The material 636 also rotates. That is, by operating the handle 637, the winglet 60 can be rotated about an axis extending in the span direction.
　膜６４１は風圧で変形する程度の柔軟な樹脂や繊維のシートからなり、翼型規制部材６４３と翼型規制部材６４４とで上下に挟まれるように配置されている。 The film 641 is made of a sheet of a flexible resin or fiber which is deformed by wind pressure, and is disposed so as to be vertically sandwiched between the wing-shaped regulating member 643 and the wing-shaped regulating member 644.
　膜６４１の前縁には、膜６４１の縁を巻き回して形成される環状部６４１ｃが設けられており、環状部６４１ｃ内を前縁材６４２が通っている（図１２（ｂ）参照）。前縁材６４２に対して環状部６４１ｃは滑って自由に回転可能である。すなわち、膜６４１は、前縁において回転自由な単純支持を受けている。 The front edge of the membrane 641 is provided with an annular portion 641 c formed by winding the edge of the membrane 641, and the front edge material 642 passes through the annular portion 641 c (see FIG. 12 (b)). The annular portion 641c can slide and freely rotate with respect to the front edge 642. That is, the membrane 641 receives simple rotation free support at the front edge.
　膜６４１の後縁内舷側６４１ａはリブ５３４の後縁に部分的に結合されており、膜６４１の後縁外舷側６４１ｂは翼端材６３６の後縁に部分的に結合されている。これらの結合には接着や幅の細い粘着テープなど適宜な手段が用いられる。膜６４１の後縁、すなわち後縁内舷側６４１ａと後縁外舷側６４１ｂとの間は、スパン方向に弛まずに直線的に張っている。したがって、膜６４１は、後縁において回転自由な単純支持を受けている。 The trailing edge inner side 641 a of the membrane 641 is partially coupled to the trailing edge of the rib 534, and the trailing edge side 641 b of the membrane 641 is partially coupled to the trailing edge of the wing tip 636. An appropriate means such as adhesion or a narrow adhesive tape is used for these bonds. The trailing edge of the membrane 641, that is, between the trailing edge inner side 641a and the trailing edge outer side 641b, is stretched linearly without slack in the span direction. Thus, the membrane 641 receives simple rotation free support at the trailing edge.
　なお、前縁及び後縁での膜６４１の支持方法は適宜の方法を採用することができる。すなわち、後縁も前縁と同様に、膜６４１に環状部を設けて後縁を回転可能に支持することも可能である。 In addition, the support method of the film | membrane 641 in a front edge and a rear edge can employ | adopt an appropriate method. That is, it is also possible to provide an annulus on the membrane 641 to rotatably support the trailing edge, as well as the trailing edge.
　膜６４１は柔軟なシートであるため、風圧を受けて上下に移動する。膜６４１は前縁材６４２により前縁で単純支持され、後縁内舷側６４１ａ及び後縁外舷側６４１ｂにおいて後縁で単純支持されている。そのため、膜６４１は、翼弦の中間付近において最も大きく上下に移動する。そして翼型規制部材６４３，６４４が、膜６４１の移動を規制してため、膜６４１が風圧で上下に移動しても、あらかじめ規定した翼型となる。 Since the film 641 is a flexible sheet, it moves up and down by wind pressure. The membrane 641 is simply supported at the leading edge by the leading edge 642 and at the trailing edge on the trailing edge inner side 641a and the trailing edge outer side 641b. Therefore, the film 641 moves up and down most around the middle of the chord. Then, since the wing shape restricting members 643, 644 restrict the movement of the film 641, even if the film 641 moves up and down by the wind pressure, it becomes the wing shape defined in advance.
　次に、本実施形態に係る主翼３０を上下に動かした場合について説明する。本実施形態の主翼３０を上下に動かした場合、第二実施形態に係る主翼が有する機能にさらに外舷翼６０の回転を組み合わせることができる。 Next, a case where the main wing 30 according to the present embodiment is moved up and down will be described. When the main wing 30 of this embodiment is moved up and down, the rotation of the outer wing 60 can be further combined with the function of the main wing according to the second embodiment.
　すなわち、本実施形態の主翼３０を下に動かした場合、さらに把手６３７を操作して外舷翼６０前縁を下げるように回転させることで、多くの空気が後方に偏向するとともに、まっすぐ後方に進行する。本実施形態の主翼３０を上に動かした場合、さらに把手６３７を操作して外舷翼６０前縁を上げるように回転させることで、多くの空気が後方に偏向するとともに、まっすぐ後方に進行する。 That is, when the main wing 30 of the present embodiment is moved downward, a large amount of air is deflected rearward by operating the handle 637 to further lower the front edge of the outer wing 60, and straight backward proceed. When the main wing 30 of the present embodiment is moved upward, by operating the handle 637 to further rotate the front wing 60 so as to raise the front edge, a large amount of air is deflected backward and proceeds straight backward. .
　このように、主翼３０を上下に動かす場合に、外舷翼６０の回転も併用することによって、より多くの空気が後方に偏向することになるとともに、後方に流れる空気がまっすぐ後方に進行するため、効率的に推力を得られることになる。 Thus, when moving the main wing 30 up and down, by combining the rotation of the outer wing 60, more air will be deflected backward, and the air flowing backward will advance straight backward. Will be able to get thrust efficiently.
［第五実施形態］
　次に、本発明の第五実施形態に係る主翼の構造について、図１３に基づいて説明する。本実施形態に係る主翼３０は、第一実施形態と同様に応力外皮構造であり、翼型も図２と同様である。しかし本実施形態に係る主翼３０は、図１３に示すように、平面視で曲線的に湾曲しており、すなわち翼根から翼端に行くにつれて後退角が大きくなっていく。 Fifth Embodiment
Next, the structure of a main wing according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG. The main wing 30 according to the present embodiment has a stress skin structure as in the first embodiment, and the wing shape is also the same as FIG. 2. However, as shown in FIG. 13, the main wing 30 according to the present embodiment is curved in a curved manner in a plan view, that is, the receding angle increases as it goes from the root to the wing tip.
　本実施形態に係る主翼３０を上下に動かすと、翼弦方向後方への流れだけでなく、翼根から翼端に向かうスパン方向の流れが発生する。本実施形態に係る主翼３０は、その後退角が翼根から翼端に行くにつれて大きくなっていくため、翼根から翼端に向かう流れは後方に偏向される。したがって、後方に進行する空気の量が多いため、効率的に推力を得ることができる。 When the main wing 30 according to the present embodiment is moved up and down, not only the flow in the chord direction aft, but also the flow in the span direction from the root to the tip of the wing. As the receding angle of the main wing 30 according to the present embodiment increases as going from the blade root to the blade tip, the flow from the blade root to the blade tip is deflected rearward. Therefore, since the amount of air traveling backward is large, it is possible to obtain thrust efficiently.
［尾翼］
　次に、本発明の実施形態に係る尾翼について、図１４，１５に基づき説明する。なお、尾翼は全実施形態で共通である。図１４に示すように、尾翼８０は応力外皮構造であって、その外側が外板８１で覆われており、外板８１の内側に翼型に成形されたリブ８２，８３，８４，８５が設けられている。外板８１は樹脂のシート、段ボールやプラスチック段ボールを湾曲することで構成されている。 [tail]
Next, a tail according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. The tail is common to all the embodiments. As shown in FIG. 14, the tail wing 80 has a stress skin structure, the outer side of which is covered by the outer plate 81, and the inner side of the outer plate 81 has wing shaped ribs 82, 83, 84, 85. It is provided. The outer plate 81 is formed by curving a sheet of resin, cardboard or plastic cardboard.
　リブ８２，８３，８４，８５は発泡スチロールや発泡ウレタンなどの軽量な樹脂からなる。外板８１とリブ８２，８３，８４，８５とは、接着などの適宜な方法で結合されている。また、尾翼８０の翼端には翼端材８６が設けられている。翼端材８６は外に露出するため、空力的に滑らかに形成されている。翼端材８６は、リブ８２，８３，８４，８５と同様の材料で構成され、接着などの適宜な方法で外板８１に接着される。 The ribs 82, 83, 84, 85 are made of lightweight resin such as polystyrene foam or urethane foam. The outer plate 81 and the ribs 82, 83, 84, 85 are coupled by an appropriate method such as adhesion. Further, a wing tip 86 is provided at the wing tip of the tail wing 80. Since the wing tip 86 is exposed to the outside, it is aerodynamically smoothly formed. The wing tip 86 is made of the same material as the ribs 82, 83, 84, 85, and is bonded to the outer plate 81 by an appropriate method such as bonding.
　尾翼８０の翼根にはベルト８７，８８が設けられており、ベルト８７，８８を操縦者Ｐの脚に巻き付けて装着される。操縦者Ｐが脚を動かすことで尾翼８０が上下に動き、これにより推力が発生する。 Belts 87 and 88 are provided on the wing roots of the tail wing 80, and the belts 87 and 88 are wound around the legs of the operator P and mounted. The pilot P moves the legs to move the tail 80 up and down, thereby generating thrust.
　次に、本発明の実施形態に係る尾翼により推力を得る方法について、図１５に基づいて説明する。図１５は、本実施形態に係る尾翼を装着して脚を動かした場合の空気の流れを示す模式図であり、（ａ）は尾翼を下に動かした場合、（ｂ）は尾翼を上に動かした場合の図である。 Next, a method of obtaining thrust by the tail wing according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG. FIG. 15 is a schematic view showing the flow of air when the leg according to the present embodiment is attached and the leg is moved. FIG. 15 (a) shows the tail when the tail is moved downward. It is a figure at the time of moving.
　図１５（ａ）に示すように、操縦者Ｐが膝を曲げた状態で脚Ｌを動かして、装着された尾翼８０を上から下に移動させると、尾翼８０より下にある空気は、尾翼８０の下面に当り進行方向を変える。このとき、尾翼８０は前縁が後縁より下がった姿勢になっているため、尾翼８０の下面に当った空気の多くは後方に偏向する。そのため、尾翼８０には前方に向く力、すなわち推力が発生する。 As shown in FIG. 15 (a), when the pilot P moves the leg L with the knee bent to move the mounted tail 80 from the top, the air below the tail 80 is the tail Hit the lower surface of 80 and change the traveling direction. At this time, since the trailing wing 80 is in a posture in which the leading edge is lower than the trailing edge, most of the air that has hit the lower surface of the trailing wing 80 is deflected rearward. Therefore, a force directed to the front, that is, a thrust is generated on the tail wing 80.
　図１５（ｂ）に示すように、操縦者Ｐが膝を伸ばした状態で脚Ｌを動かして、装着された尾翼８０を下から上に移動させると、尾翼８０より上にある空気は、尾翼８０の上面に当り進行方向を変える。このとき、尾翼８０は前縁が後縁より上がった姿勢になっているため、尾翼８０の上面に当った空気の多くは後方に偏向する。そのため、尾翼８０には前方に向く力、すなわち推力が発生する。 As shown in FIG. 15 (b), when the pilot P moves the leg L while moving the knee in a state where the knee is extended, the air above the tail 80 is the tail Hit the top of the 80 and change the direction of travel. At this time, since the trailing wing 80 is in a posture in which the leading edge is raised above the trailing edge, most of the air that has hit the upper surface of the trailing wing 80 is deflected rearward. Therefore, a force directed to the front, that is, a thrust is generated on the tail wing 80.
　これらの上下の動きを繰り返すことにより、継続的に推力を得ることができる。この動きはいわゆるドルフィンキックと類似の動きとなる。 By repeating these up and down movements, it is possible to continuously obtain thrust. This movement is similar to a so-called dolphin kick.
　なお、上述の尾翼８０に代えて、図１６に示すような足ヒレ９０やモノフィンを脚に装着して脚を上下させることでも、推力を得ることが可能である。なお図１６は、本発明の実施形態に係る人力飛行体験装置において足ヒレを装着して脚を動かした場合の空気の流れを示す模式図である。 The thrust can also be obtained by attaching the fin 90 or monofin as shown in FIG. 16 to the leg and moving the leg up and down instead of the tail wing 80 described above. In addition, FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram which shows the flow of air at the time of mounting | wearing with a fin and moving a leg in the man-powered flight experience apparatus based on embodiment of this invention.
　また、上述の尾翼８０の他に、飛行姿勢を安定されるための安定板を脚に装着することも可能である。 In addition to the tail wing 80 described above, it is also possible to attach a stabilizer to the leg for stabilizing the flight attitude.
　また、本実施形態では主翼及び尾翼を併用して推力を得ていたが、どちらか一方のみを使用することも勿論可能である。 Moreover, although the thrust was obtained using the main wing and the tail wing in combination in this embodiment, it is of course possible to use only one of them.
