<p>There is described a convertiplane (1) comprising: A convertiplane (1) comprising: a pair of semi-wings (3); at least one first rotor (4) comprising a shaft (6) which may rotate about relative first axis (B) and tilt about a second axis (C) together with first axis (B) with respect to semi-wings (3) between a helicopter mode and an aeroplane mode; first axis (B) being, in use, transversal to a longitudinal direction (A) of convertiplane (1) in helicopter mode and being, in use, substantially parallel to longitudinal direction (A) in aeroplane mode; convertiplane (1) also comprises an electrical power storage device (70; 81, 82); and at least one electrical machine (71); electrical machine (71) comprises, in turn,: a stator (72) which is electrically connected to storage device (70; 81, 82); and a second rotor (73) which is operatively connected to a shaft (6) of first rotor (4); electrical machine (71) acts as an electric motor for driving in rotation said first rotor (4) by using the electrical power stored in storage device (70; 81, 82); or as an electrical power generator for re-charging storage device (70; 81, 82) by causing the rotation second rotor (4) under the action of a wind current.</p> |
