Abstract
Provided is a VTOL aircraft that includes a main wing, a first rotary wing part, and a second rotary wing part, and, during flight using lift generated by the first rotary wing, folds at least a part of the main wing to reduce the plane projection area of the aircraft and makes it less susceptible to updrafts and the like.
Claims13
An aircraft including:
- a body part;
- a main wing extending in a horizontal direction from the body part so as to intersect with a longitudinal direction;
- and
- a rotary wing part disposed on the aircraft,
- the main wing having, at a position in the main wing outside the body part, a rotary portion that is able to rotate an outer portion of the main wing outside the position in the main wing, along a rotation direction with a rotation axis being the longitudinal direction, with respect to an extension direction of the main wing.
