Abstract: A controller of a thrust generating device executes one of first control of controlling thrust by changing the pitch angle of each blade while maintaining the rotational speed of a propeller at a reference value, or second control of allowing the thrust greater than the thrust generated in the first control to be generated by making the rotational speed of the propeller larger than the reference value.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an enzyme having ?-1,6-glucosyl transfer activity, which can use a partially degraded starch product as a substrate and is heat resistant and suitable for industrial applications; an enzyme preparation for use in manufacturing ?-1,6-glucan, comprising the enzyme as an active ingredient; and a method for manufacturing ?-1,6-glucan using the enzyme or enzyme preparation. The present invention provides an enzyme having ?-1,6-glucosyl transfer activity, which is any one of proteins (a), (b), and (c): (a) a protein consisting of an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3; (b) a protein consisting of an amino acid sequence having at least 90% amino acid sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3; and (c) a protein consisting of an amino acid sequence in which one or several amino acid(s) have been substituted, inserted, deleted and/or added in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a protein that catalyzes an ?-1,6-glucosyl transfer reaction and can efficiently produce an ?-1,6-glucan, an enzyme preparation for producing an ?-1,6-glucan, which comprise said protein as an active ingredient, and a method for producing an ?-1,6-glucan using the enzyme preparation. The present invention provides a protein having an activity for catalyzing an ?-1,6-glucosyl transfer reaction, which is any of the proteins (a) to (c) mentioned below: (a) a protein consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3; (b) a protein consisting of an amino acid sequence having an amino acid sequence identity of 90% or higher to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3; and (c) a protein consisting of an amino acid sequence in which one or several amino acid(s) have been substituted, inserted, deleted and/or added in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3.
