Abstract
A flying object includes: a fuselage; a wing that extends laterally from the fuselage and can generate lift during cruising; and a thrust generation unit that can generate thrust. The wing includes a fixed wing portion fixed to the fuselage, and a deployable wing portion deployable forward in a front-rear direction from the fixed wing portion, and a plane area of the wing in a deployed state in which the deployable wing portion is deployed forward in the front-rear direction is larger than a plane area of the wing in a superposed state in which the deployable wing portion is superposed on the fixed wing portion.
Claims12
A flying object comprising:
- a fuselage;
- a wing extending laterally from the fuselage and configured to generate lift during cruising;
- and
- a thrust generation unit configured to generate thrust,
- wherein the wing includes a fixed wing portion fixed to the fuselage, and a deployable wing portion deployable forward in a front-rear direction from the fixed wing portion,
- an area of a planform of the wing in a deployed state in which the deployable wing portion is deployed forward in the front-rear direction is larger than an area of the planform of the wing in a superposed state in which the deployable wing portion is superposed on the fixed wing portion, and
- in the deployed state, at least a part of the deployable wing portion is locatable forward of a leading edge of the fixed wing portion in the front-rear direction.
A flying object comprising:

- and
- a thrust generation unit configured to generate thrust,
- wherein the wing includes a fixed wing portion fixed to the fuselage, and a deployable wing portion deployable forward in a front-rear direction from the fixed wing portion,
- an area of a planform of the wing in a deployed state in which the deployable wing portion is deployed forward in the front-rear direction is larger than an area of the planform of the wing in a superposed state in which the deployable wing portion is superposed on the fixed wing portion,
- the deployable wing portion includes a first deployable wing portion and a second deployable wing portion, and
- an angle formed by the first deployable wing portion and the second deployable wing portion is equal to an angle formed by the fixed wing portion and the second deployable wing portion.
