Abstract
The invention pertains to a remote-controlled miniature aircraft with at least one lift surface (17), with at least one pair of propeller drives (12, 13) and with a weight element (20), the position of which can be varied in the longitudinal direction of the miniature aircraft (10) in order to change the center of gravity of the miniature aircraft (10). In order to realize a more compact and more robust construction with improved flying characteristics, the lift surface (17) of the miniature aircraft (10) is arranged above a plane defined by the rotational axes of the propeller drives (12, 13) in order to generate a lifting force for taking off and/or landing from a standstill.
Claims15
A miniature aircraft comprising:
- an upper lift surface and a lower lift surface,
- at least one pair of propeller drives, and
- a weight element, a position of the weight element can be linearly displaced in a longitudinal direction of the miniature aircraft in order to change a center of gravity of the miniature aircraft, wherein the upper lift surface is arranged above a plane defined by a rotational axis of the at least one pair of propeller drives in order to generate a lifting force, the upper lift surface is arranged above the lower lift surface, in that the miniature aircraft is in a form of a flying wing, and a flight attitude on a longitudinal axis or a vertical axis of the miniature aircraft is adjusted by a difference between rotational speeds of the at least one pair of propeller drives.
