Abstract
An aircraft that can improve cruising speed by making the body shape of the airframe (especially, multicopter) into a shape that has less unnecessary positive lift force by the main body and less drag in the cruising posture of the airframe. An aircraft equipped with a plurality of rotary blades including a propeller and a motor, wherein the aircraft comprises a main body with an inverted airfoil shape. The main body has an attack angle that does not generate a lift force or produces a negative lift force during cruising. The main body has a positive attack angle of 12 degrees or less. Further, it is provided with a mounting unit on which a mounted object can be mounted. The mounting unit is connected to the main body via the connection unit.
Claims9
An aircraft comprising:
- a plurality of rotary blades each including a propeller and a motor;
- and
- a main body with an inverted airfoil shape in which a camber line is lower than a blade chord;
- and
- a mounting unit configured to store an object therein,
- wherein the main body is rotatably connected to the mounting unit via a connection unit about an axis perpendicular to a plane defined by a traveling direction of the aircraft and a vertical direction, and the mounting unit and the connection unit are inside of the main body.
