Abstract
A drive unit for air vehicle, which allows building the vertical take-off and landing vehicles, intended for use, for instance, in the production of flying taxis, as well as in the model-making branch and in the toy industry. The drive unit is composed of the air channel, in the form of a straight segment of a tube with circular section, which has fans with engines fixed on its both ends. The vertical draft force outlet-inlet nozzle opening is located between fixed fans of the drive unit.

A ski jump and wingsuit free flight simulator comprising a flight chamber and fans directing the air jets upwards, providing a possibility to universally control and adjust the simulator to any user's size, characterized in that it has two mutually parallel side tunnels, a horizontal tunnel (1a) with a power unit (2a) and a horizontal tunnel (1b) with a power unit (2b) enforcing two separate airflows respectively, an airflow (3a) in the horizontal tunnel (1a) and an airflow (3b) in the horizontal tunnel (1b), and
- the simulator has also, situated between the horizontal tunnels, a middle, oblique tunnel (4) with a floor (5), wherein a part of the floor (5) is a movable tilting platform (6) being an entry and exit of the simulator, affixed in the lower part of the floor (5) of the oblique tunnel (4), a pivot axis of the platform (6) is situated transversely in relation to the floor (5) and in the upper part of the movable platform (6) the simulator is equipped with a swinging threshold (7) always maintaining horizontal position regardless of what the angle relative to the ground the platform (6) is at the moment,
- the simulator further comprises a vertical tunnel (8) connecting to the upper end of the oblique tunnel (4) and the vertical tunnel (8) placed at 90° angle in relation to the horizontal tunnel (1a) and its parallel horizontal tunnel (1b) and the lower end of the vertical tunnel (8) is inserted into the medium upper part of a longitudinal tunnel (12) conducted between the horizontal tunnel (1a) and the horizontal tunnel (1b),
- the horizontal tunnel (1a) and the horizontal tunnel (1b) connect to the longitudinal tunnel (12) transverse to them and
- the vertical tunnel (8) comprises obstacles (10) on the way of the airflow (3a) and the airflow (3b), breaking the air jets of airflow (3a) and airflow (3b),
- wherein one of the ends of each mutually parallel tunnels:
- the horizontal tunnel (1a), oblique tunnel (4) and horizontal tunnel (1b) is connected to a tunnel transverse tot hem, which constitutes a confusor (11),
- wherein in the spot of the conjunction of the individual tunnels, and in the vicinity of their junction:
- the horizontal tunnel (1a) with the confusor (11),
- the horizontal tunnel (1b) with the confusor (11),
- the horizontal tunnel (1a) with the longitudinal tunnel (12),
- the horizontal tunnel (1b) with the longitudinal tunnel (12),
- the oblique tunnel (4) with the confusor (11),
- the oblique tunnel (4) with the vertical tunnel (8), and
- the vertical tunnel (8) with the longitudinal tunnel (12),
- at least one flow guide (9) is located and wherein the airflow (3a) is controlled by the change of the turning speed of the power unit (2a) and the airflow (3b) is controlled by the change of the turning speed of the power unit (2b).
