  • Publication number: 20150232178
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an aircraft comprising a fuselage (100) comprising a fuselage axis (101), a first wing arrangement (110) and a second wing arrangement (120). The first wing arrangement (110) is mounted to the fuselage (100) such that the first wing arrangement (110) is tiltable around a first longitudinal wing axis (111) of the first wing arrangement (110) and such that the first wing arrangement (110) is rotatable around the fuselage axis (101). The second wing arrangement (120) comprises at least one propulsion unit (122), wherein the second wing arrangement (120) is mounted to the fuselage (100) such that the second wing arrangement (120) is tiltable around a second longitudinal wing axis (121) of the second wing arrangement (120) and such that the second wing arrangement (120) is rotatable around the fuselage axis (101).

  • Publication number: 20150028155
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for generating aerodynamic lift and in particular an aircraft (100) for vertical take-off and landing. A wing arrangement (110) comprises at least one propulsion unit (111), wherein the propulsion unit (111) comprises a rotating mass which is rotatable around a rotary axis (117). The wing arrangement (110) is mounted to a fuselage (101) such that the wing arrangement (110) is tiltable around a longitudinal wing axis (112) of the wing arrangement (110) and such that the wing arrangement (110) is rotatable with respect to the fuselage (101) around a further rotary axis that differs to the longitudinal wing axis (112). An adjusting mechanism adjusts a tilting angle of the wing arrangement (110) around the longitudinal wing axis (112) under influence of a precession force (Fp) which forces the wing arrangement (110) to tilt around the longitudinal wing axis (112).

  • Publication number: 20140008498
    Abstract: An aircraft for vertical take-off and landing. The aircraft comprises a first wing, a second wing and a fuselage. The first wing comprises a first longitudinal wing axis and the second wing comprises a second longitudinal wing axis. The first wing extends along the first longitudinal wing axis and the second wing extends along the second longitudinal wing axis from the fuselage. The first wing is tiltable with a first rotational direction around the first longitudinal wing axis and the second wing is tiltable with a second rotational direction around the second longitudinal wing axis. In a fixed-wing flight mode, the wings do not rotate around a second axis. In a hover flight mode, the wings are tilted around the longitudinal wing axis with respect to its orientation in the fixed-wing flight mode and that the wing rotates around the second axis.
