  • Publication number: 20240343425
    Abstract: An engine-carrying flight device capable of stably hovering is provided. The engine-carrying flight device 10 can fly in a hovering state in which an altitude is maintained and in an ascending/descending state in which the altitude is changed. The engine-carrying flight device 10 includes main rotors 14, sub-rotors 15, an engine 26; motors 21; and an arithmetic control unit 25. The main rotors 14 are rotated by drive force received from the engine 26, the sub-rotors 15 are rotated by drive force received from the motors 21, and the arithmetic control unit 25 causes a thrust generated by rotation of the main rotors 14 to be smaller than a thrust necessary for keeping the altitude constant, in the hovering state.

  • Publication number: 20240343423
    Abstract: A flight device that can accurately perform attitude control with a sub-rotor is provided. The flight device 10 includes an airframe 19, an engine 30, motors 21, main rotors 14, and sub-rotors 15. The engine 30 rotates the main rotors 14. The motors 21 rotate the sub-rotors 15. The main rotors 14 are arranged below the sub-rotors 15. In the flight device 10, arranging the main rotors 14 below the sub-rotors 15 prevents the sub-rotors 15 from being affected by an air flow generated by rotation of the main rotors 14. Accordingly, the sub-rotors 15 can provide thrusts as designed by being rotated, and the position and the attitude of the airframe 19 can be accurately adjusted.
