本発明者は、配置した翼の集まりを用い、自動車の幅や、自動車の高さを小さくすることで、道路から離陸し、道路へ着陸できる走行および飛行を可能にする自動車を創作するに至った。
配置した翼の集まりとは、翼の幅方向を、自動車の左右方向とし、自動車の上下方向と、自動車の前後方向とよりなる面内に翼を配置し、各翼がほぼ同じ揚力を発生する迎え角になるように、各翼の取付角を制御する翼の集まりである。各翼の取付角は、自動車の前後方向の位置で異なり、翼の後縁から後ろの気流に対し後ろの翼が揚力を発生する迎え角になるように制御することから、自動車の後ろになるに従い、徐々に取付角が大きくなる。上下方向の翼と翼との間隔は、例えば、翼弦長とほぼ同じとし、前後方向の翼と翼との隙間間隔は、翼弦長に比べ、かなり小さくすることもできる。自動車の走行時などで、揚力の発生が不要のときは、迎え角を小さくする。例えば、翼が対称翼の時は、翼の取付角を水平にすればよい。

The space between the wing in the vertical direction and the wing may be, for example, approximately the same as the chord length, and the space between the wing and the wing in the front and rear direction may be considerably smaller than the chord length. When driving a car, etc., when it is not necessary to generate lift, reduce the angle of attack. For example, when the wing is a symmetrical wing, the mounting angle of the wing may be made horizontal.

This automobile is provided with a steering wheel for determining the traveling direction and a drive wheel for transmitting driving power, and the driving steering unit for moving the steering wheel and the power required for traveling are A drive unit for transmitting to the drive wheels, a collection of arranged wings for generating lift necessary for the flight of the vehicle, a rudder for controlling the attitude of the vehicle during flight, a flight steering unit for moving the rudder And a propulsion unit that generates a propulsion force necessary for flight. The rudder which controls the attitude of the vehicle is a rudder for controlling the roll, pitch and yaw of the vehicle.
The vehicle may further include a lateral propulsion unit so that lateral force is exerted on the vehicle at takeoff and landing. At the time of landing when there is a crosswind, the attitude of the car is inclined in the wind blowing direction from the direction in which the road advances, but the lateral propulsion unit reduces the influence of the crosswind and brings the attitude of the car closer to the road traveling Can. At the time of takeoff, the influence of the crosswind can be reduced and takeoff is facilitated.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を、図1、図4~図8に基づいて説明する。
図1は、自動車100の側面図である。自動車100は、飛行に必要な揚力を発生する配置した翼の集まり158、推進部156としてのプロペラ、飛行中の縦安定性を高める先尾翼154、飛行中の方向の安定のための垂直安定板127、ピッチ方向制御を行う昇降舵124、ロール方向制御を行う補助翼126、ヨー方向の制御を行う方向舵128、走行時に利用する左操舵の車輪152a、左駆動の車輪153aおよび横風の影響を軽減するための左横推進部157aを本体150に備える。左操舵の車輪152aおよび左駆動の車輪153aは図示しない動力源108からの動力により駆動され、前進および後進の方向に回転が可能である。
図4は、自動車の左から見た配置した翼の集まりの例の側面図である。図4は、上下方向に翼が4葉、前後方向に翼が4葉のときの、全部で16葉の翼の集まりの一例である。
実施例として、上下方向に翼が12葉、前後方向に翼が7葉のときの、配置した翼の集まりの全部で84葉の実効の翼面積の概算値を示す。
翼幅が自動車の幅の1.68米とし、翼弦長が0.1米のときで、上下方向の翼と翼との間隔を0.1米、前後方向の翼と翼との隙間間隔を0.01米とした場合、1葉の面積は0.168平方米、84葉あるから、全部で14.112平方米となる。しかし上下方向に多葉の場合、翼の揚力の実効効率が下がり、上下方向12葉のときは揚力の実効効率が約56パーセントとなるとする。さらに、駆動の車輪のある部分を翼面積から差し引き、有効部分が97.5パーセントになるとすると、全部で84葉の翼の実効の翼面積が約7.7平方米となる。自動車の前部にある先尾翼154の揚力の分担を15パーセントとし、後部の84葉の配置した翼の集まり158の揚力の分担を85パーセントとすると、先尾翼154の揚力は1.4平方米で、7.7平方米と1.4平方米の合計で9.1平方米となり、飛行に必要とする揚力を発生できる。後部の配置した翼の集まり158の大きさは、上下方向は1.1米、前後方向は0.76米、左右方向は1.68米となる。先尾翼154については、翼幅1.2米、翼弦長0.15米、上下方向の翼と翼との間隔を0.15米、前から3葉、4葉、4葉の合計11葉の翼の集まりで、大きさは、上下方向は0.3~0.45米、前後方向は0.47米、左右方向は1.2米で、上下方向に多葉の揚力の実効効率が72~77パーセントになるとすると、先尾翼154の翼の実効の翼面積は、約1.4平方米となる。
なお、上下方向の翼の葉数、上下方向の翼と翼との間隔、前後方向の翼の葉数および各翼の一葉の面積を増加することで、実効の翼面積を増加するができる。
図5は、図1の自動車100の正面図である。本図において既に説明した符号と同一の符号は、説明済みの符号と機能が同じである。
図6は、図1の自動車100の上面図である。
図7は、図1の自動車100の背面図である。推進部156としてのプロペラは、安全性を高めるために、4個備えている。
図8は、図1の自動車100の機能ブロック図である。この機能ブロック図は、動力源108として、2次電池、蓄電器などを用い、左操舵の車輪152a、右操舵の車輪152b、左駆動の車輪153aおよび右駆動の車輪153bに電動機組込みの車輪を用い、プロペラである推進部156の回転動力として、電動機を用いた場合のものである。推進部156をプロペラとレシプロエンジンやジェットエンジンを用いる場合、そのエンジンに機械結合した発電機により、動力源108の2次電池を充電し、左操舵の車輪152a、右操舵の車輪152b、左駆動の車輪153aおよび右駆動の車輪153bの動力とする。動力源108として、燃料電池、ガスタービンなどを用いてもよい。操作部106は、ハンドルや操縦桿などであって、運転者からの操作を受け付ける。走行用操舵部104は、操作部106の操作に応じて、左操舵の車輪152aおよび右操舵の車輪152bを動かす。動力源108は、駆動部110、前輪駆動部114、推進部156および横推進部157に動力を伝達する。駆動部110は、左駆動の車輪153aおよび右駆動の車輪153bを駆動する。前輪駆動部114は、左操舵の車輪152aおよび右操舵の車輪152bを駆動する。左操舵の車輪152a、右操舵の車輪152b、左駆動の車輪153aおよび右駆動の車輪153bは、ブレーキを備えている。走行と飛行の切替部130は、走行にするか飛行にするかの切り替えを、操作部106から操作を受け付け、状態検出部112に伝える。状態検出部112は、当該自動車の状態を検出し、操作部106、走行用操舵部104、飛行用操舵部122および動力制御部116に伝える。状態検出部112は、例えば、速度、高度、位置、地上走行中か飛行中かなどを検出する。飛行用操舵部122は、操作部106の操作に応じて、姿勢を制御する舵120を動かす。姿勢を制御する舵120には、昇降舵124、補助翼126および方向舵128がある。動力制御部116は、操作部106と状態検出部112から供給される自動車100の状態に応じて、動力源108を動作させる。
離陸するとき、離陸前の走行時に、推進部156、駆動部110、前輪駆動部114を動作させ、プロペラ、左操舵の車輪152a、右操舵の車輪152b、左駆動の車輪153aおよび右駆動の車輪153bを同時に回転させることにより、離陸滑走距離を短縮できる。なお、自動車が停止や後進している時、危険防止のために、推進部156を動作させないで、車輪により地上を前進走行し、加速後、推進部156を動作させる。
着陸するとき、着陸前の飛行時に、推進部156、駆動部110、前輪駆動部114を動作させ、プロペラ、左操舵の車輪152a、右操舵の車輪152b、左駆動の車輪153aおよび右駆動の車輪153bを同時に回転させ、車輪の回転を着陸速度相当に合わすことにより、着陸時の道路と車輪との摩擦による車輪の減耗を減らすことができ、着陸時の衝撃も、減らすことができる。
翼取付角制御部160は、操作部106からの運転者の操作に応じて、配置した翼の集まり158の翼の取付角を制御する。翼取付角制御部160は、翼の取付角を制御するとき、翼の取付角を翼毎に制御するような、角度制御を用いてもよいが、上下方向の翼は、同じ取付角でよいことから、上下方向の翼の同じ部分を可動の機械要素で上下に結合し、機械要素を上下に動かし、上下方向の翼をまとめて共通の角度制御を用いることもできる。更に、上下方向の翼の共通の角度制御を、前後方向に、後の翼ほど取付角を大きくするように、歯車などで機械的に結合すれば、翼の集まりの全部の翼の取付角を、一つの角度制御で制御することもできる。取付角は固定の翼と、可変の翼とに分けることもできる。角度設定値は、連続または段階的にすることもできる。
横推進部157は、動力源108から動力を受け、操作部106から運転者の操作を受ける。横推進部157は、横風の自動車左右方向成分を打ち消して、自動車が横風に流されないようにする。例えば、プロペラ、電動機などで構成した推進できる機構を自動車の左右側面のほぼ中央に取付ける。
このような自動車100は、道路だけでなく、空港、農道、校庭、空地、屋上などで離着陸することができる。
以上、本発明を実施の形態をもとに説明した。実施の形態は例示であり、それらの構成要素や、各処理プロセスの組合せにいろいろな変形例が可能で、そうした変形例も本発明の範囲にある。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 and 4 to 8.
FIG. 1 is a side view of acar 100. As shown in FIG. The automobile 100 includes a set of arranged wings 158 for generating lift necessary for flight, a propeller as a propulsion unit 156, a tail wing 154 for enhancing longitudinal stability in flight, a vertical stabilizer for directional stability in flight 127, elevator 124 for pitch direction control, auxiliary wing 126 for roll direction control, rudder 128 for yaw direction control, left steering wheel 152a used during traveling, left driven wheel 153a and reduction of side wind The main body 150 is provided with a left lateral propulsion portion 157a for the purpose. The left steering wheel 152a and the left driving wheel 153a are driven by power from a power source 108 (not shown), and can rotate in forward and reverse directions.
FIG. 4 is a side view of an example of a collection of deployed wings as viewed from the left of the vehicle. FIG. 4 is an example of a collection of wings of 16 leaves in total when the wings are 4 in the vertical direction and the wings are 4 in the front-back direction.
As an example, when the wing is 12 leaves in the vertical direction and the wing is 7 leaves in the front-rear direction, a total of 84 wings of the arranged wing groups is an estimated value of the effective wing area of the leaf.
When the width of the car is 1.68 US and the chord length is 0.1 US, the space between the vertical wing and the wing is 0.1 US, and the space between the wing and the longitudinal wing Since the area of one leaf is 0.168 square rice and 84 leaves, the total area is 14.112 square rice. However, in the case of multi-leaf in the vertical direction, the effective efficiency of the lift of the wing decreases, and in the case of 12 leaves in the vertical direction, the effective efficiency of the lift is about 56%. In addition, if one part of the drive wheel is subtracted from the wing area, and the effective part is 97.5%, the effective wing area of a total of 84 leaves is about 7.7 square meters. Assuming that the lift share of theaft wing 154 at the front of the car is 15% and the lift share of the rear 84-wing arranged wing group 158 is 85%, the lift of the aft wing 154 is 1.4 square rice So, the sum of 7.7 square rice and 1.4 square rice is 9.1 square rice, which can generate the lift necessary for flight. The size of the wing set 158 disposed at the rear is 1.1 rice in the vertical direction, 0.76 rice in the front-rear direction, and 1.68 rice in the left-right direction. For the wing wing 154, the wing width is 1.2 rice, the chord length is 0.15 rice, the distance between the vertical wing and the wing is 0.15 rice, and there are a total of 11 leaves of 3 leaves, 4 leaves and 4 leaves from the front A collection of wings of 0.3 ~ 0.45 rice in the vertical direction, 0.47 rice in the front-rear direction, 1.2 rice in the left-right direction, effective efficiency of lift of multi-leaf in the vertical direction Assuming 72 to 77 percent, the effective wing area of the wing of the canard wing 154 will be approximately 1.4 square rice.
The effective wing area can be increased by increasing the number of wing leaves in the vertical direction, the distance between the wing and the wing in the vertical direction, the number of wing leaves in the longitudinal direction, and the area of one leaf of each wing.
FIG. 5 is a front view of thevehicle 100 of FIG. The same symbols as the symbols already described in the figure have the same functions as the symbols already described.
6 is a top view of thevehicle 100 of FIG.
7 is a rear view of thevehicle 100 of FIG. The propeller as the propulsion part 156 is equipped with four in order to improve safety.
FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram of thevehicle 100 of FIG. This functional block diagram uses a secondary battery, a capacitor, etc. as the power source 108, and uses wheels incorporating a motor for the left steering wheel 152a, the right steering wheel 152b, the left driving wheel 153a, and the right driving wheel 153b. The motor is used as the rotational power of the propulsion unit 156 which is a propeller. When the propulsion unit 156 uses a propeller and a reciprocating engine or jet engine, the secondary battery of the power source 108 is charged by a generator mechanically coupled to the engine, and the left steering wheel 152a, the right steering wheel 152b, and the left drive And the right driving wheel 153b. As the power source 108, a fuel cell, a gas turbine or the like may be used. The operation unit 106 is a steering wheel or a control stick, and receives an operation from the driver. The traveling steering unit 104 moves the left steering wheel 152 a and the right steering wheel 152 b in accordance with the operation of the operation unit 106. The power source 108 transmits power to the drive unit 110, the front wheel drive unit 114, the propulsion unit 156, and the side propulsion unit 157. The drive unit 110 drives the left driving wheel 153 a and the right driving wheel 153 b. The front wheel drive unit 114 drives the left steering wheel 152 a and the right steering wheel 152 b. The left steering wheel 152a, the right steering wheel 152b, the left driving wheel 153a, and the right driving wheel 153b are provided with a brake. The switching unit 130 for traveling and flight receives an operation from the operation unit 106 and notifies the state detection unit 112 of switching between traveling and flying. The state detection unit 112 detects the state of the vehicle and transmits it to the operation unit 106, the steering unit 104 for traveling, the steering unit 122 for flight, and the power control unit 116. The state detection unit 112 detects, for example, the speed, the altitude, the position, and whether the vehicle is traveling on the ground or in flight. The flight steering unit 122 moves the rudder 120 that controls the attitude in accordance with the operation of the operation unit 106. The rudders 120 that control the attitude include elevators 124, auxiliary wings 126 and rudders 128. The power control unit 116 operates the power source 108 according to the state of the vehicle 100 supplied from the operation unit 106 and the state detection unit 112.
When taking off, when driving before taking off, thepropulsion unit 156, the drive unit 110, and the front wheel drive unit 114 are operated, and a propeller, a left steering wheel 152a, a right steering wheel 152b, a left driving wheel 153a and a right driving wheel By rotating 153b simultaneously, the takeoff run distance can be shortened. When the vehicle is stopped or moving backward, the propulsion unit 156 is not driven by the operation of the propulsion unit 156 to prevent danger, and the vehicle travels forward on the ground with wheels, and after acceleration, the propulsion unit 156 is operated.
When landing, at the time of flight before landing, thepropulsion unit 156, the drive unit 110, and the front wheel drive unit 114 are operated, and a propeller, a left steering wheel 152a, a right steering wheel 152b, a left driving wheel 153a and a right driving wheel By simultaneously rotating the wheels 153b to match the rotation of the wheels to the landing speed, it is possible to reduce the wear of the wheels due to the friction between the road and the wheels upon landing, and also to reduce the impact upon landing.
The wing attachmentangle control unit 160 controls the attachment angle of the wings of the arranged wing assembly 158 according to the operation of the driver from the operation unit 106. The wing attachment angle control unit 160 may use angle control to control the attachment angle of the wing for each wing when controlling the attachment angle of the wings, but the wings in the vertical direction may have the same attachment angle Thus, the same parts of the wings in the vertical direction can be coupled up and down with movable mechanical elements, the mechanical elements can be moved up and down, and the wings in the vertical direction can be grouped together to use a common angle control. Furthermore, if the common angle control of the wings in the vertical direction is mechanically connected by gears or the like so as to increase the mounting angle in the back and forth direction in the back and forth direction, the mounting angles of all the wings of the collection of wings are It can also be controlled by one angle control. The mounting angle can also be divided into fixed wings and variable wings. The angle settings can also be continuous or stepwise.
Lateral propulsion unit 157 receives power from power source 108 and receives an operation of the driver from operation unit 106. The lateral propulsion unit 157 cancels the lateral component of the lateral wind of the vehicle so that the vehicle does not flow in the lateral wind. For example, a propulsable mechanism composed of a propeller, an electric motor, etc. is mounted approximately at the center of the left and right sides of the vehicle.
Such acar 100 can take off and land not only on roads but also at airports, farm roads, schoolyards, open spaces, rooftops, and the like.

図4は、自動車の左から見た配置した翼の集まりの例の側面図である。図4は、上下方向に翼が4葉、前後方向に翼が4葉のときの、全部で16葉の翼の集まりの一例である。
実施例として、上下方向に翼が12葉、前後方向に翼が7葉のときの、配置した翼の集まりの全部で84葉の実効の翼面積の概算値を示す。
翼幅が自動車の幅の1.68米とし、翼弦長が0.1米のときで、上下方向の翼と翼との間隔を0.1米、前後方向の翼と翼との隙間間隔を0.01米とした場合、1葉の面積は0.168平方米、84葉あるから、全部で14.112平方米となる。しかし上下方向に多葉の場合、翼の揚力の実効効率が下がり、上下方向12葉のときは揚力の実効効率が約56パーセントとなるとする。さらに、駆動の車輪のある部分を翼面積から差し引き、有効部分が97.5パーセントになるとすると、全部で84葉の翼の実効の翼面積が約7.7平方米となる。自動車の前部にある先尾翼154の揚力の分担を15パーセントとし、後部の84葉の配置した翼の集まり158の揚力の分担を85パーセントとすると、先尾翼154の揚力は1.4平方米で、7.7平方米と1.4平方米の合計で9.1平方米となり、飛行に必要とする揚力を発生できる。後部の配置した翼の集まり158の大きさは、上下方向は1.1米、前後方向は0.76米、左右方向は1.68米となる。先尾翼154については、翼幅1.2米、翼弦長0.15米、上下方向の翼と翼との間隔を0.15米、前から3葉、4葉、4葉の合計11葉の翼の集まりで、大きさは、上下方向は0.3~0.45米、前後方向は0.47米、左右方向は1.2米で、上下方向に多葉の揚力の実効効率が72~77パーセントになるとすると、先尾翼154の翼の実効の翼面積は、約1.4平方米となる。
なお、上下方向の翼の葉数、上下方向の翼と翼との間隔、前後方向の翼の葉数および各翼の一葉の面積を増加することで、実効の翼面積を増加するができる。

図6は、図1の自動車100の上面図である。
図7は、図1の自動車100の背面図である。推進部156としてのプロペラは、安全性を高めるために、4個備えている。
図8は、図1の自動車100の機能ブロック図である。この機能ブロック図は、動力源108として、2次電池、蓄電器などを用い、左操舵の車輪152a、右操舵の車輪152b、左駆動の車輪153aおよび右駆動の車輪153bに電動機組込みの車輪を用い、プロペラである推進部156の回転動力として、電動機を用いた場合のものである。推進部156をプロペラとレシプロエンジンやジェットエンジンを用いる場合、そのエンジンに機械結合した発電機により、動力源108の2次電池を充電し、左操舵の車輪152a、右操舵の車輪152b、左駆動の車輪153aおよび右駆動の車輪153bの動力とする。動力源108として、燃料電池、ガスタービンなどを用いてもよい。操作部106は、ハンドルや操縦桿などであって、運転者からの操作を受け付ける。走行用操舵部104は、操作部106の操作に応じて、左操舵の車輪152aおよび右操舵の車輪152bを動かす。動力源108は、駆動部110、前輪駆動部114、推進部156および横推進部157に動力を伝達する。駆動部110は、左駆動の車輪153aおよび右駆動の車輪153bを駆動する。前輪駆動部114は、左操舵の車輪152aおよび右操舵の車輪152bを駆動する。左操舵の車輪152a、右操舵の車輪152b、左駆動の車輪153aおよび右駆動の車輪153bは、ブレーキを備えている。走行と飛行の切替部130は、走行にするか飛行にするかの切り替えを、操作部106から操作を受け付け、状態検出部112に伝える。状態検出部112は、当該自動車の状態を検出し、操作部106、走行用操舵部104、飛行用操舵部122および動力制御部116に伝える。状態検出部112は、例えば、速度、高度、位置、地上走行中か飛行中かなどを検出する。飛行用操舵部122は、操作部106の操作に応じて、姿勢を制御する舵120を動かす。姿勢を制御する舵120には、昇降舵124、補助翼126および方向舵128がある。動力制御部116は、操作部106と状態検出部112から供給される自動車100の状態に応じて、動力源108を動作させる。

着陸するとき、着陸前の飛行時に、推進部156、駆動部110、前輪駆動部114を動作させ、プロペラ、左操舵の車輪152a、右操舵の車輪152b、左駆動の車輪153aおよび右駆動の車輪153bを同時に回転させ、車輪の回転を着陸速度相当に合わすことにより、着陸時の道路と車輪との摩擦による車輪の減耗を減らすことができ、着陸時の衝撃も、減らすことができる。
翼取付角制御部160は、操作部106からの運転者の操作に応じて、配置した翼の集まり158の翼の取付角を制御する。翼取付角制御部160は、翼の取付角を制御するとき、翼の取付角を翼毎に制御するような、角度制御を用いてもよいが、上下方向の翼は、同じ取付角でよいことから、上下方向の翼の同じ部分を可動の機械要素で上下に結合し、機械要素を上下に動かし、上下方向の翼をまとめて共通の角度制御を用いることもできる。更に、上下方向の翼の共通の角度制御を、前後方向に、後の翼ほど取付角を大きくするように、歯車などで機械的に結合すれば、翼の集まりの全部の翼の取付角を、一つの角度制御で制御することもできる。取付角は固定の翼と、可変の翼とに分けることもできる。角度設定値は、連続または段階的にすることもできる。
横推進部157は、動力源108から動力を受け、操作部106から運転者の操作を受ける。横推進部157は、横風の自動車左右方向成分を打ち消して、自動車が横風に流されないようにする。例えば、プロペラ、電動機などで構成した推進できる機構を自動車の左右側面のほぼ中央に取付ける。
このような自動車100は、道路だけでなく、空港、農道、校庭、空地、屋上などで離着陸することができる。
以上、本発明を実施の形態をもとに説明した。実施の形態は例示であり、それらの構成要素や、各処理プロセスの組合せにいろいろな変形例が可能で、そうした変形例も本発明の範囲にある。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 and 4 to 8.

FIG. 4 is a side view of an example of a collection of deployed wings as viewed from the left of the vehicle. FIG. 4 is an example of a collection of wings of 16 leaves in total when the wings are 4 in the vertical direction and the wings are 4 in the front-back direction.
As an example, when the wing is 12 leaves in the vertical direction and the wing is 7 leaves in the front-rear direction, a total of 84 wings of the arranged wing groups is an estimated value of the effective wing area of the leaf.
When the width of the car is 1.68 US and the chord length is 0.1 US, the space between the vertical wing and the wing is 0.1 US, and the space between the wing and the longitudinal wing Since the area of one leaf is 0.168 square rice and 84 leaves, the total area is 14.112 square rice. However, in the case of multi-leaf in the vertical direction, the effective efficiency of the lift of the wing decreases, and in the case of 12 leaves in the vertical direction, the effective efficiency of the lift is about 56%. In addition, if one part of the drive wheel is subtracted from the wing area, and the effective part is 97.5%, the effective wing area of a total of 84 leaves is about 7.7 square meters. Assuming that the lift share of the
The effective wing area can be increased by increasing the number of wing leaves in the vertical direction, the distance between the wing and the wing in the vertical direction, the number of wing leaves in the longitudinal direction, and the area of one leaf of each wing.
