Patent number: 9994312Abstract: A vertical take-off and landing aircraft includes a propulsion mechanism that generates lift and thrust, a main frame that supports seating and a landing undercarriage, a sub-frame which supports the propulsion mechanism and is arranged so as to be swingable back and forth relative to the main frame, a motive power supply unit supported by the main frame and supplying motive power to the propulsion mechanism, a control stick connected to the sub-frame, and a main wing arranged on the propulsion mechanism, wherein the main wing is formed to be retracted to a position not interfering with an air flow of the propulsion mechanism in a normal time and to be movable to a position where lift is generated when thrust is lost. Gliding is made possible even if thrust is lost while increasing in size of a fuselage is avoided.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2015Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: IHI CORPORATIONInventors: Masayoshi Tsunekawa, Tetsuya Tamura
