Flying apparatus, aircraft, and method for controlling flight of flying apparatus

An aircraft, comprising:

• a flying apparatus configured to carry a fuselage;
• wherein the flying apparatus comprises:
• a tandem tiltrotor system, comprising a front tiltrotor and a rear tiltrotor;
• and
• a structural frame, configured to support the tandem tiltrotor system and comprising a front rotor-fixing support, a rear rotor-fixing support, and a linear support configured to connect and fix the front rotor-fixing support and the rear rotor-fixing support;
• wherein the front tiltrotor is disposed at a middle portion of the front rotor-fixing support;
• and the rear tiltrotor is disposed at a middle portion of the rear rotor-fixing support,
• wherein the front tiltrotor and the rear tiltrotor are arranged in a tandem manner,
• wherein the front tiltrotor is configured to tilt at a front tilt angle to a gravity direction to control a flight of the flying apparatus, and the rear tiltrotor is configured to tilt at a rear tilt angle to the gravity direction to control the flight of the flying apparatus,
• wherein the front tiltrotor is configured to, in response to a failure of the rear tiltrotor, maintain controllability of the flying apparatus, to ensure a controlled flight or a safe landing, or the rear tiltrotor is configured to, in response to a failure of the front tiltrotor, maintain controllability of the flying apparatus, to ensure a controlled flight or a safe landing.

A method for controlling flight of an aircraft, comprising:

• receiving, from a control terminal, an instruction reflecting a flight trajectory;
• and
• controlling, in accordance with the instruction, a front tilt angle, a front rotation speed, and a front rotation direction of a front tiltrotor, and a rear tilt angle, a rear rotation speed, and a rear rotation direction of a rear tiltrotor, wherein the front tiltrotor is disposed at a middle portion of a front rotor-fixing support;
• and the rear tiltrotor is disposed at a middle portion of a rear rotor-fixing support, the front tiltrotor and the rear tiltrotor are arranged in a tandem manner, and the front tiltrotor is configured to tilt at the front tilt angle to a gravity direction to control a flight of the aircraft, and the rear tiltrotor is configured to tilt at the rear tilt angle to the gravity direction to control the flight of the aircraft, and
• in response to a failure of one of the front tiltrotor or the rear tiltrotor, controlling a remaining operable tiltrotor to maintain controllability of the aircraft, to ensure a controlled flight or a safe landing.
