AEROMOBILE

WIPO Patent Application WO/1999/061267

A1

The present invention pertains to the field of vehicles intended for transportation in the air or on the ground, and essentially relates to an aeromobile. In order to simplify its structure and to reduce the aerodynamic loads as it travels on the ground, the aeromobile comprises a body (1), a wing (2) capable of rotation as a whole and comprising a rotation unit (3) as well as connection means (4, 5), aircraft engines (9) connected to the wing which also includes aerodynamic obstacles (12), a tail unit (6), a landing gear (7) with wheels as well as a car engine (10) which is connected by a transmission to the driving wheels of the landing gear. In order to improve safety, the portion (15) of the wing (2), which is oriented frontward when said wing is longitudinal relative to the body, comprises transverse corrugations as well as areas with variable rigidity in order to form a collapsing region in case of head-on collision. The means for connecting the front portion of the wing, when said wing is longitudinal relative to the body, include rigid (16) and flexible (17) members. The rigid members are used as supports for maintaining the position of the boundary section in the wing collapsing region (15) relative to the body (1), while the flexible members are used as backstays for the end (19) of the front portion of the wing.
