## Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a flying body. The flying body includes a mounting space for mounting an object, a loading port for loading the object in the mounting space, and a take-out port for taking out the object loaded in the mounting space, wherein the loading port and the take-out port are provided at least partially at different positions. According to such a configuration, even a person without specialized knowledge can operate it easily and safely.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A flying body comprising:
a mounting space for mounting an object;
a loading port for loading the object in the mounting space; and
a take-out port for taking out the object loaded in the mounting space,
wherein the loading port and the take-out port are provided at least partially at different positions.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The flying body according to claim 1,
wherein the loading port is provided above the mounting space, and
wherein the take-out port is provided below the mounting space.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The flying body according to claim 1,
wherein the loading port is provided on the side of the mounting space, and
wherein the take-out port is provided below the mounting space.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The flying body according to claim 1,
wherein the take-out port has a discharge mechanism for discharging the object.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The flying body according to claim 1,
wherein the discharge mechanism communicates with a predetermined device at a landing point and receives a discharge execution signal to perform the discharge.

### Claim 6

A transport method of a load using a flying body comprising:
a mounting space for mounting an object;
a loading port for loading the object in the mounting space; and
a take-out port for taking out the object loaded in the mounting space,
wherein the loading port and the take-out port are provided at least partially at different positions,
the method comprising:
a step of mounting the object into the mounting space from the loading port along a first direction;
a step of flying the flying body to a destination; and
a step of taking out the object from the take-out port along a second direction.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The flying body according to claim 2,
wherein the take-out port has a discharge mechanism for discharging the object.

### Claim 8 (depends on 3)

The flying body according to claim 3,
wherein the take-out port has a discharge mechanism for discharging the object.

### Claim 9 (depends on 2)

The flying body according to claim 2,
wherein the discharge mechanism communicates with a predetermined device at a landing point and receives a discharge execution signal to perform the discharge.

### Claim 10 (depends on 3)

The flying body according to claim 3
wherein the discharge mechanism communicates with a predetermined device at a landing point and receives a discharge execution signal to perform the discharge.

### Claim 11 (depends on 4)

The flying body according to claim 4,
wherein the discharge mechanism communicates with a predetermined device at a landing point and receives a discharge execution signal to perform the discharge.

### Claim 12 (depends on 7)

The flying body according to claim 7,
wherein the discharge mechanism communicates with a predetermined device at a landing point and receives a discharge execution signal to perform the discharge.

### Claim 13 (depends on 8)

The flying body according to claim 8,
wherein the discharge mechanism communicates with a predetermined device at a landingpoint and receives a discharge execution signal to perform the discharge.
