AEROMECHANICAL METHOD OF CONTROLLING CONFIGURATION AND FLIGHT MODE OF CONVERTED AIRCRAFT (CONVERTOPLANE) Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B64C37/00 

FIELD: aviation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aircraft with vertical take-off and landing. Aeromechanical method of control over configuration and flight of convertoplane consists in formation of unbalanced torque from engines thrust by front and rear engines to control engine inclination angle. In vertical take-off and landing mode, control of convertoplane is performed by varying each engine speed. To switch to acceleration mode, traction of rear engines is increased, as a result unbalanced moment is generated relative to hinged fastening of rear wing, which is transmitted through levers and thrust to rotation axis of front wing, entire system starts turning, forming horizontal component of engine thrust, providing acceleration of convertoplane. Switching to horizontal flight mode is carried out by increasing thrust on front engines, wherein said unbalanced moment is generated from engine thrust to turn entire system of engines to take-off position, rotary wings turn to increase of angle of attack, creating high aerodynamic resistance and providing formation of aerodynamic brake.

EFFECT: higher reliability, longer range and speed of flight.
