CENTRAL WING PANEL FOR A FLYING VEHICLE AND METHOD OF ITS CONTROL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/057004
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
A central wing panel for a hybrid transportation vehicle for ground and air transportation. The central wing panel has a front frame section and a rear frame section connected by one or more cross members. The central wing panel can also have a first vertical axis and a second vertical axis, positioned near opposite ends of the front frame section, wherein a first wing is configured to rotate about the first vertical axis and a second wing is configured to rotate about the second vertical axis for transitioning between an air mode and a ground mode. The central wing panel can further have a first horizontal axis extending substantially parallel along a lower portion of the front frame section, wherein the central wing panel is configured to rotate about the first horizontal axis enabling adjustment of an angle of attack of the vehicle. The central wing panel can also have a second horizontal axis extending along a lower portion of the rear frame section, wherein the rear frame section is configured to rotate about the second horizontal axis to enable coupling and uncoupling of the rear frame section from the first wing and the second wing for transitioning between the air mode and the ground mode. The central wing panel can also have a third horizontal axis extending along the trailing edge of the wings allowing rotation of the ailerons and flaps so that they fold over onto the top front portion of the wings thereby reducing the depth of the wings.
