Abstract
An aircraft, etc., which can reduce the shock to a mounted object during unloading and improve the quality of delivery by lowering the mounted object from the aircraft after landing while maintaining its posture and releasing it so that the shock generated to the mounted object at the time of detachment is within a predetermined shock range. An aircraft equipped with a holding mechanism that holds the mounted object, wherein the holding mechanism moves the mounted object at least vertically downward after landing legs of the aircraft are grounded, while maintaining the mounted object horizontal.
Claims14
An aircraft equipped with a holding mechanism that holds a payload,
- wherein the holding mechanism is designed to move the payload at least vertically downward while maintaining its horizontal orientation upon contact of landing legs with the ground.
A method for loading a payload using an aircraft equipped with a holding mechanism, comprising:
- a step of moving the payload at least vertically downward while holding the payload horizontally using the holding mechanism of the aircraft, after the landing legs of the aircraft has touched the ground.
A system of executing a loading method on an aircraft equipped with a holding mechanism, comprising:
- a processor that is equipped on the aircraft and executes the loading method,
- wherein the loading method comprises a step of moving the payload at least in a downward vertical direction while maintaining the payload in a horizontal position using the holding mechanism of the aircraft after the landing legs of the aircraft is in contact with the ground.
