Description

Luftfahrzeug  aircraft
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Luftfahrzeug, insbesondere ein vollelektrisches, senkrecht Start- und landefähiges (vertical take-off and landing, VTOL) Luftfahrzeug. The present invention relates to an aircraft, in particular a fully electric, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft.
Als VTOL wird in der Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik sprachübergreifend jedwede Art von Flugzeug, Drohne oder Rakete bezeichnet, welche die Fähigkeit besitzt, im Wesentlichen senkrecht und ohne Start- und Landebahn abzuheben und wieder aufzusetzen. Dieser Sammelbegriff wird nachfolgend in einem weiten Sinne verwendet, der nicht nur In the aerospace industry, VTOL refers to any type of aircraft, drone or rocket that has the ability to take off and put back on essentially vertically and without a runway. This collective term is used in a broad sense below that is not only
Starrflügelflugzeuge mit Tragflächen, sondern ebenso Drehflügler wie Hub-, Trag-, Flugschrauber und Hybride wie Verbundhub- oder Kombinationsschrauber sowie Fixed-wing aircraft with wings, but also rotary-wing aircraft such as helicopters, gyroplanes, flight screwdrivers and hybrids such as compound helicopters or combination screwdrivers as well
Wandelflugzeuge einschließt. Erfasst seien des Weiteren Luftfahrzeuge mit der Fähigkeit, auf besonders kurzen Strecken zu starten und zu landen ( short take-off and landing, STOL), auf kurzen Strecken zu starten, aber senkrecht zu landen (short take-off and vertical landing, STOVL) oder senkrecht zu starten, aber horizontal zu landen ( vertical take-off and horizontal landing, VTHL). US2017/0274992A1 schlägt einen Motor vor, der aus zylindrisch gestapelten Includes convertible aircraft. Also included are aircraft with the ability to take off and land on particularly short distances (short take-off and landing, STOL), take off on short distances but land vertically (short take-off and vertical landing, STOVL). or take off vertically, but land horizontally (vertical take-off and horizontal landing, VTHL). US2017 / 0274992A1 proposes an engine that is made of cylindrically stacked

CN 204858936 U bezieht sich auf ein magnetisches Übertragungssystem für einen Propeller von einer seitens der Rotoranordnung versetzten Achse. CN 204858936 U refers to a magnetic transmission system for a propeller from an axis offset from the rotor assembly.
Offenbarung der Erfindung Disclosure of the invention
Die Erfindung stellt ein Luftfahrzeug, insbesondere ein vollelektrisches, im obigen Sinne senkrecht Start- und landefähiges Luftfahrzeug gemäß dem unabhängigen Anspruch 1 bereit. Ein Vorzug dieser Lösung liegt in der erfindungsgemäß verringerten Abschattung der Wirkfläche des Propellers, welche bei herkömmlichen Luftfahrzeugen aus der mittigen Anordnung des Motors folgt. The invention provides an aircraft, in particular a fully electric aircraft capable of taking off and landing vertically in the above sense, according to independent claim 1. An advantage of this solution lies in the reduced shading of the active surface of the propeller according to the invention, which in conventional aircraft follows from the central arrangement of the engine.
Ausführungsformen der Erfindung ermöglichen zudem eine Steigerung der Effizienz sowie einen höheren Integrationsgrad des Propellermantels. Embodiments of the invention also allow an increase in efficiency and a higher degree of integration of the propeller shell.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the dependent
Patentansprüchen angegeben. So kann das Luftfahrzeug etwa mit abgeknickten oder gar wahlweise abknickbaren Tragflächen ausgestattet sein. Eine entsprechende Variante vergrößert die im Horizontalflug wirksame Flügelfläche, ohne aber die Standfläche des Luftfahrzeuges auszudehnen. Claims specified. For example, the aircraft can be equipped with kinked or even optionally kinkable wings. A corresponding variant increases the wing area effective in horizontal flight, but without extending the footprint of the aircraft.
Ferner mag das Luftfahrzeug über ein schnell ladbares Batteriesystem verfügen, welches die Antriebsenergie für Senkrechtstart und -landung sowie Horizontalflug bereitstellt und eine kurzfristige Aufladung des Luftfahrzeuges im Stand ermöglicht. Furthermore, the aircraft may have a quickly chargeable battery system which provides the drive energy for vertical take-off and landing as well as horizontal flight and enables the aircraft to be charged at short notice when stationary.
Zum Antrieb des Luftfahrzeuges können hierbei anstelle freifahrender Rotoren mehrere Mantelpropeller ( ducted fans) auch unterschiedlicher Größe zum Einsatz kommen, wie sie abseits der Luftfahrttechnik etwa von Luftkissenfahrzeugen oder Sumpfbooten bekannt sind. Das den Propeller umgebende zylindrische Gehäuse vermag in einer derartigen Ausführungsform die Schubverluste infolge von Verwirbelungen an den Blattspitzen beträchtlich zu reduzieren. Geeignete Mantelpropeller mögen horizontal oder vertikal ausgerichtet, zwischen beiden Stellungen schwenkbar ausgeführt oder aus Instead of free-running rotors, several ducted fans of different sizes can be used to drive the aircraft, as are known apart from aeronautical engineering, for example, from hovercraft or sump boats. In such an embodiment, the cylindrical housing surrounding the propeller can considerably reduce the thrust losses due to turbulence at the blade tips. Suitable jacketed propellers may be oriented horizontally or vertically, designed to be pivotable between two positions or out
aerodynamischen Gründen im Horizontalflug durch Lamellen (louvers) abgedeckt sein. Zudem ist eine reine Horizontalschuberzeugung mittels feststehender Mantelpropeller denkbar. aerodynamic reasons in horizontal flight must be covered by louvers. In addition, pure horizontal thrust generation by means of fixed jacket propellers is conceivable.
Schließlich kommt - neben einem vorzugsweise vollautonomen Betrieb des Finally, in addition to preferably fully autonomous operation of the
Luftfahrzeuges - bei hinreichender Qualifikation auch die Einräumung einer manuellen Kontrolle an den menschlichen Piloten in Betracht, was der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung eine größtmögliche Flexibilität in der Handhabung verleiht. Aircraft - with sufficient qualification also the granting of a manual Control on the human pilot into consideration, which gives the device according to the invention the greatest possible flexibility in handling.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im Folgenden näher beschrieben. Die Figur zeigt ein Prinzipbild der Erfindung. An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail below. The figure shows a schematic diagram of the invention.
Die einzige Figur illustriert die konstruktiven Merkmale einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Luftfahrzeuges. Bei jedem seiner elektrisch angetriebenen Propeller (10) ist innerhalb des Mantels eine elektrische Maschine (11 , 12) in den Außenring integriert. Sowohl deren Rotor (11) als auch Stator (12) befinden sich außerhalb des Wirkungsbereiches (14) des zugehörigen Mantelpropellers (10). Dadurch wird dessen Abschattung vermieden und die Antriebskraft vollständig genutzt. Eine Führungsschiene oder ein anderweitiges Axiallager (13) hält den Luftspalt der elektrischen Maschine (11 , 12) aufrecht. The single figure illustrates the structural features of a preferred embodiment of the aircraft according to the invention. In each of its electrically driven propellers (10), an electrical machine (11, 12) is integrated into the outer ring within the casing. Both their rotor (11) and stator (12) are outside the effective range (14) of the associated jacket propeller (10). This avoids shadowing and fully uses the driving force. A guide rail or other axial bearing (13) maintains the air gap of the electrical machine (11, 12).
Für den Mantelpropeller (10) kommt eine minimale strukturelle Unterstützung unter Inkaufnahme einer vernachlässigbaren Abschattung in Betracht, ohne den Rahmen der Erfindung zu verlassen. For the jacket propeller (10), minimal structural support comes into consideration while accepting negligible shading, without leaving the scope of the invention.
