Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a flying body which can fly stably for nearly unlimited hours by installing a solid object in which buoyancy is generated by flowing air on the end of the wire of a wind-up device, installing rudders on the vertical wings and flaps on the horizontal wings thereof, and reducing the effect of nature. CONSTITUTION:A flying body is supported by wires 1, 2, 3, which are collected into one wire 4 and connected to the ground. The flaps 5 of a horizontal wing can regulate lift in the horizontal direction, vertical wings 6 are used for horizontal stability and, further, auxiliary wings installed on the vertical wings 6 enable movement in the horizontal direction. Part of wind which the flying body receives is converted into the rotating energy of a propeller 7, thereby, carrying out wind power generation by the rotating energy to teed electric power used inside the flying body. By such a structure, the posture of the flying body can be safely controlled by controlling the plurality of wires 1-4 and the auxiliary wings to obtain high reliability.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] A.3 Objective of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) This invention raises the above-mentioned flying object at least 5 km above the ground, uses the force of the westerly wind, and lifts the flying object to a height of 7 km. It is an aircraft that can fly in the air as long as there is a westerly wind, that is, as long as the earth rotates.

(Prior art) In the past, a famous kite was commonly called a kite, which was simply tied to the ground with a single string or rope and was flown by the wind. It does not have any system to adjust the attitude to 1llIJIj, and the flight altitude is 100 above the ground.
Since the distance is within 300 m, it is greatly affected by the wind conditions on the ground, and if the wind direction is too strong, the kite itself will not be able to control the tension of the rope and will break.

Therefore, in order to fly stably, the inventor needed to raise the aircraft to a super altitude where the westerly wind was blowing, and in order to reliably am the aircraft, it was necessary to install various control systems on the aircraft. It was.

(Point U while the invention is trying to solve the problem) This invention attempts to propose a flying vehicle that can fly stably for almost an infinite time while minimizing the effects of nature as described above.

Invention: $111 (means to solve the problem) This invention provides a flying vehicle with vertical wings and horizontal wings, and installs a control system for attitude control on them, in order to fly stably at ultra-high altitudes. Depending on the situation, each one: By moving the attached rudder and flaps, it was possible to move freely in space.

Furthermore, by controlling the angle of the cable with the ground for each of the multiple branched cables, the buoyancy can be arbitrarily controlled, making it possible to optimize the tension of the cable with the ground.

(Summary of the Invention) An example of implementing the present invention will be described as follows.

In Figure 1, this aircraft is supported by wires 1, 2, 3, and these three wires are combined into one wire 4 midway and connected to the ground.

These wires 1.2.3 can change the angle of the aircraft and adjust the lift.

5 is a horizontal wing auxiliary II (called a flap), and 6 is a vertical wing that can adjust lift in the horizontal direction and is used for horizontal stability. Furthermore, the ailerons attached to 6 allow for horizontal movement. Alternatively, a portion of the wind that the flying object receives from wind power generation is converted into rotational energy of a propeller, and the rotational energy is used to generate electricity to supply power used inside the flying object. This allows the aircraft to constantly extract high-output energy when it ascends to a super altitude of about 10km and there is a strong westerly wind at that point.

Furthermore, when launching this aircraft or when supplementary propulsion energy is specially required, the propeller is rotated from the battery inside the aircraft and used as propulsion energy.

8 is a solar battery, and since solar energy is not affected by clouds at extreme altitudes, it is possible to obtain very strong energy.

C2 Effects of the Invention According to this invention, compared to conventional kites where the attitude cannot be controlled at all by simply blowing the wind, the flying object can be safely controlled by controlling multiple wires and controlling auxiliary materials. Since the attitude of the aircraft can be controlled, high reliability can be obtained.

Therefore, it is possible to raise this aircraft to a super high altitude, for example, about 10km above the ground.At this altitude, where there is a strong westerly wind, there are always strong winds of around 1100km/h, and by using this energy, the aircraft can fly for a long time. can stay in the air.

It will also be possible to generate electricity using wind power or to transmit solar energy, which is much more powerful and stable than on the ground, to the ground using wires connected to the ground.

By incorporating an optical fiber cable into this cable at the same time, large-capacity communication becomes possible. Due to its large electrical energy and the ability to connect its high-altitude location to the ground via cables, it could also be used as a large communications control center.

Furthermore, at an altitude of about 10 km above the ground, since this is the altitude at which jet planes fly, there is sufficient air, and therefore it is possible for humans to ride on this flying vehicle in the same way as jet planes.
