FIELD: air and gas blowers; vertical take-off and landing flying vehicles. SUBSTANCE: diaphragm supercharger includes housing with radial fins on which power oscillating drives are secured and one or two leaf-type diaphragms connected with them; diaphragms perform functions of valve and pistons. Power oscillating drive includes electrodynamic converter made in form of two core-type magnetic circuits connected by their lower flanges, two magnetizing coils located on opposite cores and two power coils connected in phase coincidence. Diaphragm helicopter belongs to new class of cargo-passenger air transport facilities whose lift force is created by diaphragm superchargers located in cells of bearing lattice of lifting plane. All superchargers or some of them have several degrees of freedom for creation of propulsive force and control of flying vehicle. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 4 cl, 7 dwg
