AIRCRAFT FOR VERTICAL TAKE-OFF AND LANDING Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: aircraft industry; helicopter engineering.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is dealt with the field of helicopter engineering and may be used in the small-size aviation for increase of safety of the individually piloted aircraft. The aircraft contains two aerohydrodynamic propulsors located on both sides from a seat of a pilot, which is fixed on a tubular frame, the lower part of which is mounted on the chassis supplied with elastically mounted wheels. Bodies of the propulsors are installed into the bushes of the frame with a capability to turn and to be fixed and due that control of the aircraft is exercised. Propulsors are kinematically connected with a motor installed on the chassis of the aircraft. A taper is fixed to the upper part of the frame with its vertex downwards and the base upward. The taper is made from a rigid framework covered with an airproof cloth. The aircraft center of gravity is shifted from the axis of the taper forward in direction of flight on a distance of no less than one fourth of radius of the taper base. The technical result is an increased safety of flights of an individually piloted aircraft.

EFFECT: increased safety of flights of an individually piloted aircraft.
