Abstract
The mobile comprising a gliding static structure (100) provided in a lower region with a set of gliding elements (110, 120g, 120d). It further includes means (300) for the removable mounting of a rotary-mind drone with multiple rotors (221-224) forming a propulsion group (200), whose rotors each exert a thrust with a component according to a main axis (X-X) of gliding of the mobile, the proportional and individualized drive of the rotors (221-224) allowing the piloting of the mobile in speed and direction with no rudder.
Claims21
A mobile comprising a gliding static structure (100) provided in a lower region with a set of gliding elements (110, 120g, 120d;
- 122g, 122d, 112, 114;
- 422g, 422d, 412;
- 522g, 522d, 512),
- characterized in that it further comprises means (300) for the removable mounting of a rotary-wing drone with multiple rotors (221-224) forming a propulsion unit (200), the rotors being adapted to each exert a thrust with a component according a main axis (X-X) of gliding of the mobile, the proportional and individualized drive of the rotors (221-224) allowing to pilot the mobile in speed and direction.
