摘要:A VTOL vehicle including a fuselage with two foldable wings, two tiltablenacelles attached to the wings, a vertical stabilizer, a horizontal stabilizer, and twoauxiliary thrusters. Each nacelle contains a system of vanes located at the rear openingthereof, and actuators are provided for extending and retracting the vanes in conjunctionwith nacelle tilting mechanisms to deflect the airflow over a predetermined range ofangles from the horizontal. Each nacelle also contains two rotary engines, each of whichdirectly drives a fan. The fans face each other and operate in counter-rotating directionsat the same rotational speed. An alternative embodiment includes two additionalnacelles attached to the fuselage instead of having the auxiliary thrusters. A redundantcomputerized flight control system maintains stability of the vehicle as it transitions fromone flight mode to another.
