发明名称 Rapidly-convertible roadable aircraft
摘要 A fixed wing aircraft that can be automatically and rapidly converted to a roadway vehicle within seconds while driving in the highway, comprising a one-piece wing rotatably mounted on top of the fuselage. The aircraft features a 3-horizontal-surface design allowing good pitch stability and damping in a very short fuselage, stall-resistant feature and reduction in induced drag at cruise speed. The aircraft's wing is enlargeable with additional wing tip segments allowing boost in aspect ratio hence improving efficiency at high loads. The vehicle has low center of gravity, four wheels with independent suspension, nose-height leveling for take-off and landing, and anti-sway mechanism in order to prevent roll-over in a tight turn. Ground propulsion is by both a ducted fan and hydraulic rear wheel drive allowing rapid accleration in the roadable mode.
