Patent No. 3817591
　従来の飛行機能を有する自動車１０は、自動車の幅や自動車の高さが大きく、航空路は、ハブ空港から、各地方空港への空路と、各地方空港を結ぶ空路、地方空港から離島、山間部を結ぶ空路など、地方空港を経由する必要があった。道路から道路へ直接飛べば非常に近い距離であるにも関わらず、長い距離を飛ぶことになり、無駄に時間がかかってしまう。 The car 10 with the conventional flight function has a large width and height of the car, and the air routes are air routes from the hub airport to the regional airports and routes connecting the regional airports, remote islands from the regional airports, and mountains It was necessary to go through regional airports, such as air routes connecting departments. If you fly directly from road to road, you will fly long distances despite the fact that they are very close, and it will take time.
　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。
　本発明のある様態は自動車である。この自動車は、進行方向を決める操舵の車輪と、走行用の動力が伝えられる駆動の車輪とを備える自動車であって、前記操舵の車輪を動かす走行用操舵部と、走行に必要な動力を前記駆動の車輪に伝える駆動部と、当該自動車の飛行に必要な揚力を発生するための配置した翼の集まりと、飛行時に当該自動車の姿勢を制御する舵と、前記舵を動かす飛行用操舵部と、飛行に必要な推進力を発生する推進部と、を備える。自動車の姿勢を制御する舵は、当該自動車のロール、ピッチ、ヨーを制御するための舵である。
　この自動車は、離着陸時に当該自動車に、横方向の力が働くように、横推進部を更に備えてもよい。横風があるときの着陸時、自動車の姿勢を、道路の進む方向より、風の吹く方向に傾けるが、横推進部により、横風の影響を軽減し、自動車の姿勢を道路の進む方向に近づけることができる。離陸時も、横風の影響を軽減でき、離陸が容易になる。 The present inventor has created a car that enables traveling and flying that can be taken off from the road and landed on the road by reducing the width of the car and the height of the car by using a set of arranged wings. The
A set of arranged wings means that the width direction of the wings is the left and right direction of the car, and the wings are arranged in the plane consisting of the vertical direction of the car and the longitudinal direction of the car, and each wing generates almost the same lift. A collection of wings that control the mounting angle of each wing so that it is at an angle of attack. The mounting angle of each wing is different at the longitudinal position of the car, and is controlled so that the wing behind is at an angle of attack that generates lift for the air flow behind the trailing edge of the wing, so it is behind the car In accordance with, the mounting angle gradually increases. 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.
One aspect of the present invention is a car. 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.
　将来の航空路は、自動車の現在位置より地上を走行し、現在位置に近い離陸できる道路まで行って離陸し、最短航空路を飛行し、目標地点近くの着陸できる道路に着陸し、目標地点まで地上を走行する。
　本発明者は、自動車の幅や自動車の高さを小さくすることにより、道路より離陸し、道路へ着陸できるように本発明をなしたものであり、その目的は、移動時間の短縮、道路渋滞の緩和、所要駐車面積の縮小、消費エネルギーの軽減などができて、環境にやさしい自動車を提供することにある。 The future air route will travel on the ground from the current position of the car, go to the road where it can take off close to the current position, take off, fly the shortest route, land on the landable road near the target point, and reach the target point Drive on the ground.
The inventors of the present invention have made the present invention so that they can be taken off from the road and landed on the road by reducing the width of the car and the height of the car, and the purpose is to shorten traveling time and road congestion To reduce the required parking area, reduce energy consumption, etc., and to provide environmentally friendly vehicles.

　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。

　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 a car 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 the aft 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 the vehicle 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 the vehicle 100 of FIG.
7 is a rear view of the vehicle 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 the vehicle 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, the propulsion 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, the propulsion 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 attachment angle 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.
