Abstract
To provide an electronic component capable of performing attitude control of an aircraft in an ex-post manner. An electronic component according to the present disclosure is attachable to an aircraft. The electronic component includes an arm part, an attachment part for attaching to the main body part of the aircraft, and a connecting part for connecting the arm part and the attachment part so that the arm part and the attachment part can be displaced within a predetermined range. The connecting part is connected to a position that coincides with or substantially coincides with the center of gravity of the arm part. Further, when attached to the aircraft, the connecting part coincides with or substantially coincides with the lift generating center of the aircraft.
Claims12
An aircraft, comprising:
- a main body part;
- and
- an electronic component,
- wherein the electronic component comprises an arm part having one or more devices, an attachment part for attachment to the main body part at a single point and being detachable from the main body part, and a connecting part for connecting the arm part and the attachment part so as to rotate the arm part within a predetermined range,
- wherein the attachment part is attached to the main body part at a backward position within a predetermined range from a lift generating center of the aircraft,
- wherein the arm part is bent toward the main body part at a point between the connecting part and an end of the arm part, and
- wherein the connecting part is connected to a position that coincides with or substantially coincides with the center of gravity of the arm part.
An aircraft, comprising:
- a main body part;
- and
- an electronic component,
- wherein the electronic component comprises:
