A flying machine

摘要

The flying machine (1) comprises a supporting structure (2) including a central rotational support (3) having a vertical axis connected to an essentially horizontal, preferably annular, peripheral support part (4), coaxial with the central support (3), at least one upper rotor (6) including a central hub (7) rotatable about the axis of the central support (3) of the supporting structure (2), an outer channel-section ring (8) supported by the peripheral part (4) of the supporting structure (2) by contactless suspension means (23-27), preferably magnetic suspension means, and a plurality of blades (9) which extend from the hub (7) to the channel-section ring (8) and which are inclined with respect to the horizontal plane; and motor devices (40-43; 50-53) carried at least partially by the peripheral part (4) of the supporting structure (2) and operable to cause rotation of the rotor (6) with respect to this structure (2) in a predetermined direction. <IMAGE>
