Description

Airfreight method, transport plane and airfreight system
Technical field
The present invention relates to be used for the airfreight method of various goods transports to various objectives ground.In addition, the present invention relates to transport plane and airfreight system, all be suitable for various goods transports are arrived various objectives ground, wherein goods is object and/or people.
Background technology
For various goods transports being arrived various objectives ground, known use has the transport plane of corresponding transport capacity at various goods.Transport plane loads in the departure place, takes off in this departure place and unloads in first destination landing.After unloading, and after further loading under possible situation, transport plane takes off again and flies to second destination.After the landing of second destination, carry out another loading and/or unloading.Transport plane arrives corresponding next destination with cargo-carring goods transport thus, and at least a portion goods is organized there.
In order to reduce the finishing time of loading and unloading transport plane, reprint and unload transport plane by known cargo consolidation to the specific goods space that will transport certain destination to of DE 199 14 939 A1, corresponding goods space is replaced by other goods space.Avoided thus directly transport plane loading and unloading single bag goods or passenger.
The shortcoming of known airfreight method is: because the necessary huge transport capacity of transport plane, transport plane designs relatively largely, thus only can be at this large-sized aircraft and design-calculated field takeoff and landing.Thus, because can go to without any the alternate airport, the great risk of existence is that some goods transport is quite long to the route of certain final destination.Therefore, because the size of transport plane must be accepted long distance transportation when some goods of transportation.In addition, consumption of fuel is very high and floor time transport plane is very long, thereby the operating cost of transport plane is higher and operation transport plane is very uneconomical with respect to the work capacity of transport plane.
Summary of the invention
An object of the present invention is to provide a kind of airfreight method, a kind of transport plane and a kind of airfreight system, thus the transportation of airfreight to various objectives ground can be realized more economically, particularly reloading repeatedly not.
According to the present invention, this purpose is to realize by airfreight method as claimed in claim 1, transport plane as claimed in claim 9, airfreight system as claimed in claim 12 and secondary-line-aircraft as claimed in claim 16.
Utilize airfreight method of the present invention, various goods transports are to various objectives ground, and wherein goods can be object and/or people.A kind of airflight transport plane at first is provided, and this transport plane also can comprise a plurality of operational elements with common heading own.Transport plane leaps at least three flight ranges, and each flight range is associated with certain bus stop.In addition, bus stop is associated with the destination of the various goods of transport plane transportation.According to the present invention, goods transport from transport plane to the bus stop that is associated with the corresponding destination of goods is not the landing realization by transport plane, but by taking off from corresponding bus stop and goods transport being realized to the operational secondary-line-aircraft of the bus stop related with the goods destination.Operational secondary-line-aircraft also can additionally or alternatively be transported to transport plane with goods from corresponding bus stop.Goods is transported to transport plane and/or is transported to secondary-line-aircraft from transport plane from secondary-line-aircraft and occurs in the air.Each secondary-line-aircraft only is transported to these goods the corresponding bus stop that those are associated with the destination of corresponding goods.
The transport capacity of secondary-line-aircraft is especially less than the transport capacity of transport plane, thereby secondary-line-aircraft has less relatively wing load.In addition, may can be with the goods transport of going to various objectives ground to transport plane for a plurality of secondary-line-aircrafts, transport plane preferably is made of a plurality of secondary-line-aircrafts.When corresponding transport plane is transported to corresponding bus stop, preferred only transportation just has the goods of a destination, and this destination is related with the corresponding bus stop that secondary-line-aircraft flies to.Airfreight method of the present invention makes only provides a take-off process and a landing process just at every goods.Thus, avoided some goods repeat take off and land, thereby reduced the consumption of fuel of transport plane.In addition, use secondary-line-aircraft to rise and the various goods that land, thereby transport plane need not to take off and land, and has further reduced consumption of fuel thus.In addition, because it is especially less than the transport capacity of the transport capacity of transport plane, secondary-line-aircraft can not be at the landing transport plane and design-calculated field takeoff and landing.Thus, can make the arrangement of flight path of transport plane have more changeability, especially, can adjust and make haulway and haulage time shorten respectively.Airfreight can be decentralized thus, thereby particularly, can avoid high volume of traffic and corresponding high latency on big airport.For example use physical transportation facilities such as highway, railway, water route to be avoided or at least significantly reduce.In addition, employed secondary-line-aircraft can for example be the helicopter or the vertical take-off and landing aircraft (VTOL aircraft) in landing space that need be especially little, thereby need not to provide the bus stop that has airport and a large amount of affiliated facilities thereof.Particularly, when using helicopter or vertical take-off and landing aircraft (VTOL aircraft) as secondary-line-aircraft, secondary-line-aircraft take off and the place of landing can be same bus stop, thereby reduced logistics support.
Preferably the secondary-line-aircraft Transhipment Cargo between secondary-line-aircraft and transport plane by becoming a transport plane part thus, can be avoided in transport plane goods being reloaded into another secondary-line-aircraft from a secondary-line-aircraft.Secondary-line-aircraft and transport plane have formed the conventional transport of the transport capacity with increase thus together.Thus, goods is transferred to transport plane with secondary-line-aircraft.For reaching this effect, secondary-line-aircraft can physically be connected to transport plane, for example by wireless common control.Because secondary-line-aircraft becomes the integral part of transport plane at this, its function as secondary-line-aircraft at least temporarily stops, and and if only if secondary-line-aircraft recover again from the transport plane separation and when no longer forming transport plane a part of.In addition, transport plane can pass through physically coupling connection of flexibility or rigidity attaching parts---i.e. connection---to transport plane.Especially, transport plane and secondary-line-aircraft can be the aircrafts of same type.Transport plane can be thus by single secondary-line-aircraft or logically a plurality of and/or physically the bonded assembly secondary-line-aircraft constitute.For example, secondary-line-aircraft can be coupled on the transport plane that is made of at least one secondary-line-aircraft and become the part of transport plane thus, when the other parts of transport plane separate and as secondary-line-aircraft with goods transport after certain bus stop, itself forms transport plane.Thus, the whole mechanism of transport plane can change, and especially can be individually and adapt to required transport capacity neatly.Under the mode of " train that can fly ", the corresponding train of transport plane and corresponding each compartment of secondary-line-aircraft need not complicated meticulous infrastructure.
In preferred embodiment, transport plane is made of at least two interconnective secondary-line-aircrafts.This means that transport plane only forms by connecting two secondary-line-aircrafts aloft.The quantity of interconnective secondary-line-aircraft considers that especially the required density of cargo of the expection of transport plane selects.Especially, quantity is selected after each cargo transfer automatically.Thus, can secondary-line-aircraft be connected with transport plane temporarily and be used for loading or unloading, thereby the loading or unloading required time does not influence or minimal effect haulage time only.Especially, secondary-line-aircraft is taken off from first bus stop, may be connected with transport plane and be used for loading or unloading, and in next bus stop landing.Particularly when secondary-line-aircraft transports the goods that is associated with proper what a bus stop, it is sufficient that logic between secondary-line-aircraft and the transport plane connects, that is, the combination of several secondary-line-aircrafts by single aircraft screw by realizing to the automatic transmitting control commands of other secondary-line-aircraft.Thus, can control transport plane or secondary-line-aircraft group easily.
As for secondary-line-aircraft, use the especially little aircraft of low deadweight, it is basically by container---particularly the container of corresponding some standard (normalisation)---, and constitute, this container is connected to operational propulsion unit and/or wing.Propulsion unit can be the screw propeller and/or the jet-propelled engine that can pivot.Thus, under low deadweight, obtained high capacity weight, and required fuel capacity keeps lower.Particularly, the size of container and/or weight can be adapted to the goods that held.In addition, need not container fuselage on every side.
According to an independent invention, flivver is basically by container---particularly being connected to the container on wing and/or the propulsion unit---constitutes.Preferably, container is a volumetric standard, and this container for example also can be by steamer, train or truck transport, and has the required standard size of this purpose.Wing and/or propulsion unit preferably are connected to container with separable or detouchable mode, for example connect by clamping, engaging or insertion.Thus, flivver is designed to " operational container " basically, thereby the required technical characterictic of air objective can be reduced to minimum, thus, keep being used for that the aircraft of airfreight is formed into columns and the fund obligation that produces significantly reduces because of the technology of cheapness comparatively, improved efficient thus.Preferably, flivver can be especially by container according to the physical connection that concerns straight line, side by side and/or stacked.Preferably, secondary-line-aircraft connects as the crow flies or abreast, thereby in the end portion or outermost secondary-line-aircraft can advance interconnective secondary-line-aircraft and form transport plane.Secondary-line-aircraft forwardly will be pushed forward but not drag, thereby need not to be used to transmit being rigidly connected such as the screw bonded assembly of pulling force, and for example contact loosely connected being enough to as physical connection such as thrust face.
Preferably, transport plane flies along projected route, thereby can go to same bus stop for several times with same sequence.Owing to can thus obtained rule fly, can also guarantee the goods that transportation in time can not obtain at corresponding bus stop before secondary-line-aircraft takes off.
Particularly, if transhipment is the fuel of skyborne transport plane supplying energy or postcombustion when shifting goods, can avoid transport plane is the stoppage in transit that postcombustion produces, because transport plane postcombustion aloft.This makes it possible to be suitable for single lighter secondary-line-aircraft is transport plane or the secondary-line-aircraft postcombustion that forms transport plane in simple and economical mode.For example, can be like this, a secondary-line-aircraft of transport plane provides electric power with by the power electric motors of cable for other secondary-line-aircraft, only comprises that the secondary-line-aircraft of power supply equipment is replaced.Preferably, the transport plane that is made of a plurality of secondary-line-aircrafts comprises a secondary-line-aircraft for other secondary-line-aircraft supply electric power or fuel just, thereby only this secondary-line-aircraft must be supplied with electric power or fuel, thinks all secondary-line-aircraft supply electric power or fuel of forming transport plane.Especially, this permission only provides electrical generator and/or tanks basically in this single secondary-line-aircraft, thus the tanks of other secondary-line-aircraft or for example power storage device such as battery can significantly reduce.Particularly, in other secondary-line-aircraft, can only provide the required fuel of brake power when landing, relatively low thereby the deadweight of other secondary-line-aircraft is compared with capacity weight.
In addition, goods can be classified in transport plane.Preferably, goods is according to each bus stop classification related with the destination of corresponding goods.Thus, for example, be transported to several goods that come from different port of shipments of transport plane or part and can have made up and form a big unit, the packing of larger volume for example, this packing is transported to corresponding bus stop by means of at least one secondary-line-aircraft subsequently.
The invention still further relates to the transport plane of airfreight, utilize this transport plane, particularly, can carry out above mentioned goods air transport method.According to the present invention, transport plane has first secondary-line-aircraft and second secondary-line-aircraft, and they couple together the formation transport plane.Preferably, first secondary-line-aircraft has first wing and second secondary-line-aircraft has second wing, thereby two secondary-line-aircrafts rigid connector by first wing to the second wing interconnects.In addition, be presented as that particularly the secondary-line-aircraft of flivver can couple together at the goods transport of shipping goods between these two secondary-line-aircrafts lock by being used for, thereby, particularly, the goods of can aloft classifying.The goods transport lock is positioned at the district that is rigidly connected of flivver especially, thereby for example, the goods that is seated in the wing can exchange with plain mode.Particularly, the quantity of the secondary-line-aircraft that the density of cargo of transport plane can be by being used for forming transport plane is adapted to current transportation volume.
The invention still further relates to the airfreight system of airfreight, this system is particularly suitable for realizing above mentioned goods air transport method.The airfreight system comprises the transport plane that concrete mode is as mentioned above constructed.In addition, the airfreight system comprises first secondary-line-aircraft that is associated with first bus stop and second secondary-line-aircraft that is associated with second bus stop.According to the present invention, first secondary-line-aircraft is suitable for linking to each other with transport plane with second secondary-line-aircraft, is used for Transhipment Cargo.Secondary-line-aircraft can logically and/or physically be realized with being connected of transport plane, be used for supply and/or cargo transfer purpose.
Be suitable for airfreight of the present invention system, can improve the period of service of aircraft, improve the conveying efficiency of airfreight thus by reducing the ground-surface time of landing.
Preferably, secondary-line-aircraft has wing and/or at least one propulsion unit, and they are basically perpendicular to heading, thereby can pivot together and/or independently.In addition or alternatively, the length of wing and/or variable-width.
Especially, secondary-line-aircraft is taked the flivver form, that is, goods is positioned at wing when transportation.Preferably, secondary-line-aircraft comprises the propulsion unit that allows perpendicular movement.Thus, secondary-line-aircraft can be specifically designed to vertical take-off and landing aircraft (VTOL aircraft).

The specific embodiment
In the airfreight method, transport plane 10 for example can be along the flight path 12 of closed loop basically.Transport plane 10 leaps three flight ranges 14,16,18, and each flight range is associated with a for example bus stop 20,22,24 on airport etc.Bus stop 20,22,24 is associated with the various objectives ground 26,28,30 that different goods transports go to.According to the present invention, transport plane 10 is not in any bus stop 20,22,24 landing.On the contrary, utilize secondary-line-aircraft 32 that goods from corresponding bus stop 20,22,24 is transported to transport plane 10 or is transported to corresponding bus stop 20,22,24 from transport plane 10.Cargo transfer between transport plane 10 and secondary-line-aircraft 32 occurs in the flight range 14,16,18 that is associated with corresponding bus stop 20,22,24.
Secondary-line-aircraft 32 for example can be the aircraft of vertical takeoff and landing, thereby secondary-line-aircraft 32 takes off and lands (Fig. 1) at same bus stop 20,22,24.Secondary-line-aircraft 32 can be logically or is physically connected transport plane 10, thereby secondary-line-aircraft 32 becomes the part of transport plane 10.In the case, secondary-line-aircraft 32 can take off and lands (Fig. 2) at different bus stop 20,22,24.
Airfreight method of the present invention allows to reduce the transportation distance of every goods.For example, other place of taking off/land that if bus stop 20 is little airport or transport plane 10 can't go to, the goods transport that airfreight method of the present invention is used secondary-line-aircraft 32 to provide will to go to destination 26 is to the possibility of bus stop 20, thereby avoided from having greatly the bus stop 22 on airport or 24 long-distance transportation distance 34 (Fig. 1).
Suitable transport plane 10 for example can be " many bodies of Lockheed aircraft ", " Lockheed flatbed aircraft ", Boeing VLA or Boeing DLF.As for secondary-line-aircraft 32, flivver is suitable especially, for example follows the flivver of " the heeling wing ", " the mixing wing " or " leap loader " notion.
Especially, secondary-line-aircraft 32 can form transport plane 10 of the present invention (Fig. 3) in its wing 36,38 places connection.Preferably, secondary-line-aircraft 32 consists essentially of container 39, for example with wing 36,38 and may situation under the container that links to each other with propulsion unit.Under the situation of pilot driver secondary-line-aircraft 32, he can be in the wing 36,38.Move towards each other by autonomous cruise speed system especially in order to interconnect 36,38, two secondary-line-aircrafts 32 of two wings, need not wing 36,38 and at first contact.Wing 36,38 has Connection Element 40,42, and for example, they stretch out (Fig. 4) in wing 36,38.Connection Element 40,42 preferably launches then, thus when further near the time, two wings 36,38 are centering each other automatically particularly.At last, attaching parts 44 stretches out from first wing 36 and/or second wing 38, has formed to be rigidly connected between wing 36,38.Particularly, attaching parts 44 is designed to the goods transport lock.If for example secondary-line-aircraft is " a leap loader ", then the goods transport between the transport space in wing 36,38 can be realized in simple especially mode thus.
Transport plane 10 can constitute (Fig. 5) by a plurality of secondary-line-aircrafts 32.If a secondary-line-aircraft 32 because of technical matters lost efficacy, can be avoided the inefficacy of whole transport plane 10 thus.Each secondary-line-aircraft 32 can connect 46 by logics such as for example radio and connect.Alternatively, each secondary-line-aircraft 32 can interconnect by for example flexible connecting member such as flexible pipe or cable 48.In the case, for example, fuel or little goods can be carried by flexible pipe.Each secondary-line-aircraft 32 can also directly interconnect, for example by each the secondary-line-aircraft direct connection that has thrust face 50 is provided, wherein at each secondary-line-aircraft butt of thrust face 50 places.This allows in the end that the secondary-line-aircraft 32 of portion provides propulsive force along arrow 54 directions by its thrust, and this will physically keep together each secondary-line- aircraft 32,52, thereby forms transport plane 10.Simultaneously, can change the combination of each secondary-line- aircraft 32,52 aloft, adapt to current demand thus neatly.Compare with being rigidly connected, connect with to separate each secondary-line-aircraft simpler.
Compare with single big transport plane, the present invention is reduced by the energy requirement of the transport plane 10 that a plurality of secondary-line- aircrafts 32,52 constitute.For example, under 150 tons capacity weight, the gross weight of known transport plane is 550 tons.In order to transport 150 tons capacity weight, require transport plane to have corresponding strong structure and corresponding large-sized actuating device and wing.Particularly, because large-sized wing and actuating device produce big moment of torsion on the fuselage of transport plane, this moment of torsion must be by the corresponding strong structure compensation that has additional components.Thus, known transport plane is compared with capacity weight and is had big deadweight.In contrast, for example, secondary-line-aircraft 32 gross weight under 10 tons of capacity weights is 15 tons.Because secondary-line-aircraft 32 has small size, they certainly will bear less load, thereby can use cheap material to guarantee required intensity.In addition, compare with traditional transport plane, some parts can omit, and the deadweight of secondary-line-aircraft 32 can further reduce thus.In above-mentioned example, 15 gross weights of needs are that 225 tons secondary-line-aircraft 32 transports 150 tons capacity weight, thereby compare with traditional transport plane, and the ability need of transport plane 10 of the present invention reduces.In addition, each secondary-line-aircraft 32 can be with the low cost manufacturing, thereby the manufacturing cost of transport plane of the present invention 10 reduces greatly.Because the quantity of secondary-line-aircraft 32 can adapt to required capacity weight, traffic cost can further reduce.
In traditional transport plane, a plurality of independently body parts are riveted, are spirally connected, weld or are bonded together to form a stack-mounted fuselage.What fuselage linked to each other therewith is a pair of wing, for example attachable jet-propelled engine on the wing.By comparison, each fuselage element of transport plane 10 of the present invention itself all is suitable for flight, for example by thrust face 50.Capacity weight/deadweight the ratio that does not have to utilize bigger transport plane to obtain bigger capacity weight and accept thus to reduce, transport plane 10 of the present invention provides the capacity weight that disperses to distribute, and on a plurality of secondary-line-aircrafts 32, obtained the distribution of stress that disperses thus, further improved capacity weight/deadweight ratio thus.In addition, the transport capacity that is provided can almost change arbitrarily, from rather than capacity weight adjust according to transport plane, but transport plane 10 is adjusted according to capacity weight.Thus, the volume of capacity weight does not rely on the deadweight of transport plane 10.
The present invention can also can take off and land because be each element of the transport plane 10 of each secondary-line-aircraft 32 form independently from very little field takeoff thus.When each secondary-line-aircraft 32 independently after field takeoff, they can aloft make up and form the almost transport plane 10 of any desired size, for example, connect by logic.For this reason, for example, all secondary-line-aircrafts 32 by firm what a secondary-line-aircraft 32 are controlled or remote controls, thereby form transport plane 10 of the present invention.When transport plane 10 reached the destination, each element of transport plane 10 can lean on self landing respectively by each secondary-line-aircraft 32 independent landing.Thus, a plurality of secondary-line-aircrafts 32 can take off in same place and all secondary-line-aircrafts land in same place.This allows sizable transport plane 10 in field takeoff and landing too small for the traditional transport plane with cooresponding density of cargo, carries out by the element that uses secondary-line-aircraft 32 because take off and land.Thus can more flexible and more lowland realization of cost by means of the airfreight of transport plane 10 of the present invention.
Each secondary-line-aircraft 32 and each secondary-line-aircraft 32 (Fig. 6) that is connected transport plane 10 by wing 36,38 side by side that can also connect transport plane 10 by container 39 front and back.In this embodiment, the transport plane 10 that is formed by secondary-line- aircraft 32,52 comprises a plurality of rear portions secondary-line-aircraft 52, and they provide shipping goods described thrust together.The thrust power of transport plane 10 can be thus distributed between several rear portion secondary-line-aircrafts 52, and the fuel quantity that rear portion secondary-line-aircraft 52 carries according to them is especially selected.
Because the small size of secondary-line-aircraft 32 of the present invention, this secondary-line-aircraft 32 can be by truck 56 transportations (Fig. 7) on trailer 58.Particularly, if secondary-line-aircraft 32 is the conventional container 39 that is provided with wing 36 basically, then secondary-line-aircraft 32 is easy to especially by truck 56 transportations.Especially, can pre-install the wing 36 of secondary-line-aircraft 32 and pre-if possible cartridge rotor etc. and/or make wing 36 to pivot.Truck 56 transportation secondary-line-aircraft 32 under the situation that wing 36 is not given prominence to can used thus on the express highway.For the secondary-line-aircraft 32 that takes off, wing 36 can be pivoted to its flight position along arrow 60 directions.This allows secondary-line-aircraft 32 to rolling takeoff and need not to unload secondary-line-aircraft 32 from the trailer 58 of truck 56.Particularly, when truck 56 when the direction of arrow 62 moves, the part of secondary-line-aircraft 32 energy that takes off is provided by truck 56, thus the expenditure of energy of secondary-line-aircraft 32 reduces.For example, truck can be in 25 seconds accelerates to 100km/h from 0, and under this speed, secondary-line-aircraft 32 discharges from trailer 32, and secondary-line-aircraft 32 can take off thus.For the secondary-line-aircraft 32 that lands, container can separate and the whereabouts from wing 36, may be by decelerations such as parachutes, and the wing 36 thereby the less braking energy of needs lands.Particularly under accident conditions, container can separate from wing 36, thereby the system that forms thus will be to land than jogging speed.
