Abstract
An aircraft capable of carrying at least one passenger and at least one baggage item. The aircraft may include: a fuselage comprising a baggage compartment door, wherein the baggage compartment door comprises at least one securement mechanism configured to secure the at least one baggage item to an interior of the baggage compartment door; a wing mechanically coupled to the fuselage; and at least a first and a second primary variable speed rotors configured to provide lift for the fuselage, wherein each of the at least the first and the second primary variable speed rotors are driven by at least one electric motor that is driven by a power source. Other aspects are described and claimed.
Claims20
An aircraft capable of carrying at least one passenger and at least two baggage items, comprising:
- a fuselage comprising a baggage compartment door, wherein the baggage compartment door has an interior surface and comprises at least two securement mechanisms each mounted to the interior surface, wherein each of the at least two securement mechanisms is configured to attach and retain one of the at least two baggage items against the interior surface when the baggage compartment door is in a closed configuration;
- wherein a first securement mechanism of the at least two securement mechanisms is of a different type than a second securement mechanism of the at least two securement mechanisms;
- a wing mechanically coupled to the fuselage;
- and
- at least a first and a second primary variable speed rotors configured to provide lift for the fuselage, wherein each of the at least the first and the second primary variable speed rotors are driven by at least one electric motor that is driven by a power source.
An aircraft comprising a door system, wherein the door system comprises:
- a baggage compartment door configured to be coupled to an aircraft body of the aircraft via a hinge, the baggage compartment door having a first surface and a second surface;
- and
- at least two securement mechanisms integrated with the baggage compartment door, wherein each of the at least two securement mechanisms are mounted to the first surface and are each configured to attach and retain one of at least two objects against the first surface when the baggage compartment door is in a first operational state and wherein a first securement mechanism of the at least two securement mechanisms is of a different type than a second securement mechanism of the at least two securement mechanisms;
- wherein the second surface is substantially flush with the aircraft body when the baggage compartment door is in the first operational state;
- wherein the baggage compartment door is configured to rotate about the hinge and extend away from the aircraft body in a second operational state;
- wherein the first operational state of the baggage compartment door corresponds to a closed configuration and wherein the second operational state of the baggage compartment door corresponds to an open configuration.
