- FIG. 3 is an external perspective view showing a modified example 2 of the duct used in the multicopter 10.
- the duct Dr in FIG. 3 is a substantially cylindrical duct, and the length from the position of the rotating surface of the rotor blade Pa to the end on the exhaust side varies depending on the position in the circumferential direction.
- the duct Dr in FIG. 3 includes a duct half Df from the position of the rotating surface of the rotor blade Pa to the intake side end, and a duct half Dm from the position of the rotor blade Pa to the exhaust side end. It consists of two parts.

- the shape of the duct half Dm may be a shape in which the flow of air from the intake side to the exhaust side of the rotor blades Pa does not become the same flow in the entire circumference, and the flow of air is unbalanced as a whole.
- the air flow of the rotor blades Pa is unbalanced in the circumferential direction.
- the propulsive force of the rotor blade Pa is partially acting not only in the front-rear direction but also in the surface direction of the rotating surface of the rotor blade Pa. That is, by controlling the arrangement angle of the duct half body Dm, it is possible to propel the airframe not only in the front-rear direction of the rotary blade Pa but also in the plane direction.
- the airframe is propelled in an arbitrary direction by appropriately adjusting the rotational speeds of a plurality of rotor blades. This is based on the assumption that the airframe is inclined.

- the duct half Dm and the duct half Df of the duct Dr can be arranged upside down.
- the relationship between the position control and the attitude control of the multicopter 10 when the configuration of the duct Dr is applied to each of the ducts D1 to D4 is as follows.
- the data processing unit C0 rotates the ducts D1 to D4 by a predetermined angle in the circumferential direction via the duct rotation control unit C4. Since the ducts D1 to D4 have different duct lengths to the exhaust side end depending on their circumferential positions, a part of the airflow generated by the rotor blades P1 to P4 also acts as a thrust in the horizontal direction.
- the data processing unit C0 When the multicopter 10 is raised and lowered, the data processing unit C0 that has received the control signal for raising or lowering from the control receiving unit C1 keeps the posture of the aircraft horizontal based on the information from the posture motion detecting unit C2. Raise or lower the aircraft vertically. At this time, the data processing unit C0 controls the rotational speeds of the plurality of rotor blades P1 to P4 and at the same time appropriately rotates the ducts D1 to D4 formed to be rotatable, so that the horizontal direction can be reduced without tilting the fuselage. The position can also be maintained.
- the data processing unit C0 determines whether the instructed movement amount and movement speed are high-speed movement that tilts the aircraft or precise movement that rotates the ducts D1 to D4. Judging. That is, in response to an instruction that the movement speed is high and the movement amount is expected to be large, the rotational speed of the rotary blades P1 to P4 is controlled by the rotary blade control unit C3, and the aircraft is moved quickly by tilting the airframe. On the other hand, in response to an instruction that the movement speed is slow and the movement amount is expected to be small, the duct rotation control unit C4 is instructed to rotate the ducts D1 to D4, and appropriate rotation positions of the ducts D1 to D4 are determined. Perform precise movement in the horizontal direction. The above two types of movement methods can be performed in combination at the same time.

- the length in the vertical direction from the intake side end to the exhaust side end of the duct Da is formed to be the same length at any position in the circumferential direction.
- the duct Da has a shape that can further suppress the possibility of occurrence of a vortex ring state and can generate a thrust in the horizontal direction as compared with the duct of FIGS. 1 and 3.
- the duct Da has a portion with a long duct length on the upper side in FIG. 4 (a) and a portion with a shorter duct length on the lower side in FIG. 4 (a) arranged at the same position in the circumferential direction. In a place shifted by 180 degrees in the circumferential direction, the portion where the duct length on the upper side is short and the duct length on the lower side is long is arranged at the same position.
- the shape of the duct Da may be a shape obtained by inverting the top and bottom of the ducts D1 to D4 in FIG. That is, the duct length from the position of the rotating surface of the rotating blade Pa to the intake side end of the duct Da is formed to be different depending on the position in the circumferential direction, and conversely, the duct Da is determined from the position of the rotating surface of the rotating blade Pa.
- the duct length up to the exhaust side end may be the same over the entire circumference.
- the shape of the duct of the present invention is not limited to the above shapes, and any combination is possible.
- a portion having a long intake side duct length and a long exhaust side duct length are provided.
- the portion may be arranged at the same circumferential position, and a portion having a short duct length on the intake side and a portion having a short duct length on the exhaust side may be arranged at a position shifted by 180 degrees in the circumferential direction therefrom. .
- the difference in the drag force with respect to the traveling direction, particularly when moving horizontally, is greatly changed by the rotation of the duct, that is, the amount of transfer lift (lift by increasing the air flow rate passing through the rotor blades) can be changed. It becomes like this.
- the duct Da of FIG. 4 may be configured to be rotatable in the circumferential direction like the duct Dr of the second modification.
- the duct Da is divided into two ducts, such as a duct half on the intake side with respect to the position of the rotation surface of the rotor blade Pa and a duct half on the exhaust side with respect to the position of the rotation surface. Any one of them may be configured to be rotatable, or both ducts may be configured to be independently rotatable.
- FIG. 5 is an explanatory view of the multicopter 10 in flight as seen from the side.
- Ducts ducts that are rotatable in the circumferential direction are used for the ducts D1 to D4 of the multicopter 10 in FIG.
- the arrow in FIG. 5 indicates the traveling direction of the multicopter 10, and the multicopter 10 in FIG. 5 is propelled toward the left side in the figure.
- all of the ducts D1 to D4 of the multicopter 10 have a portion with a short duct length directed toward the traveling direction side.
- each duct D1 to D4 has the same function as when the aircraft flap is lowered.
- an increase in the transfer lift can be expected, and a flight with lower power consumption is possible.
- the ducts D1 to D4 are rotated so that the intermediate part of the duct length is directed in the traveling direction, the projected area of the ducts D1 to D4 with respect to the traveling direction is minimized, so that the drag provided by the outer surface of the duct is minimized. . It is also possible to fly in such an arrangement of the ducts D1 to D4 depending on the balance between lift and moving speed.
- FIG. 6 is a side view showing a state in which the long duct lengths of the ducts D1 to D4 of the multicopter 10 of FIG. 5 are all directed outward with respect to the center of the frame F1.
- the multicopter 10 does not move in the horizontal direction.
- the posture can be stabilized by minimizing the influence of wind from the horizontal direction.
- the thrust escapes slightly toward the direction where the duct length is short. Therefore, if there is some disturbance, the ducts D1 to D4 are rotated to cause the thrust in the horizontal direction. And the current position of the multicopter 10 can be maintained.
- FIG. 7 is a view showing a fourth modification of the duct of the present invention.
- the duct Db according to the modification 4 is an example in which the duct has a double cylinder structure.
- FIG. 7A is an external perspective view of the duct Db
- FIG. 7B is a plan view of FIG. 7A.
- the rotatable portions of the duct Db are arranged concentrically in a double manner.
- the rotatable part of the duct Db includes two substantially cylindrical ducts, an outer outer cylinder part Dm1 and an inner cylinder part Dm2.
- the outer cylinder part Dm1 and the inner cylinder part Dm2 are configured to be rotatable in the circumferential direction independently of each other about a line connecting the centers in the radial direction.
- the duct Db can appropriately change the ratio of the duct length in the circumferential direction by rotating the outer cylinder part Dm1 and the inner cylinder part Dm2.
- the outer cylinder part Dm1 and the inner cylinder part Dm2 are formed in substantially the same shape, and in the state where these long duct lengths are completely overlapped in the circumferential direction, the outer appearance is the same as that of the rotary duct D of FIG. .
- the inner cylinder part Dm2 when the inner cylinder part Dm2 is rotated in a state where the outer cylinder part Dm1 is fixed here, the overlap of the long duct length part is shifted, and the duct occupies more space.
- the inner cylinder part Dm2 is arranged in a state of being rotated by approximately 90 degrees with respect to the outer cylinder part Dm1.
- the ratio of the portion having a long duct length in the circumferential direction of the duct Db is larger than the state in which the two ducts (the outer cylinder portion Dm1 and the inner cylinder portion Dm2) are completely overlapped.
- FIG. 8 is an external perspective view showing a state where the inner cylindrical portion Dm2 of the duct Db of FIG. 7 is further rotated by 90 degrees in the circumferential direction. That is, the inner cylinder part Dm2 is arranged at a position rotated approximately 180 degrees from the position where it has completely overlapped with respect to the position of the outer cylinder part Dm1.
