Abstract

A flying arrangement, consisting of at least one flying unit (10) that is able to start vertically and that can accommodate at least one person for flying freely within at least a hall (100,200), the boundaries (2,3,4,5,6) of which prevent a flying unit (10) from leaving the hall (100,200,300).

Claims

1. A flying arrangement, comprising

a hall with boundaries;

and

at least one flying unit that is able to start vertically and that can accommodate at least one person for flying freely within the hall, wherein the boundaries of the hall prevent the flying unit from leaving the hall.

2. The flying arrangement in accordance with claim 1, wherein the hall has a shape that is convex on all sides.

3. The flying arrangement in accordance with claim 2, wherein the hall has a rectangular shape.

4. The flying arrangement in accordance with claim 2, wherein the hall has a cylindrical shape.

5. The flying arrangement in accordance with claim 1, wherein the hall is formed by a flying tunnel assembly.

6. The flying arrangement in accordance with claim 5, wherein the flying tunnel assembly comprises self looping flying tunnels so that the flying unit can move on a closed path.

7. The flying arrangement as claimed in claim 2, wherein both at least one hall with convex sides all around and a hall that is formed by a flying tunnel assembly are provided and wherein the flying unit can move from one hall to the other.

8. The flying arrangement as claimed in claim 1, wherein the flying unit is designed as a flying disk with a platform in the center of which space for the person is provided and which also includes a lifting unit assembly.

9. The flying arrangement in accordance with claim 8, wherein the lifting unit assembly comprises a plurality of separate lifting units that are distributed around the center and are able to trigger a lifting effect that is distributed uniformly around the center.

10. The flying arrangement in accordance with claim 8, wherein when in operation, the lifting units are downward-operating lifting blowers.

11. The flying arrangement in accordance with claim 8, wherein the lifting units are electrically driven.

12. The flying arrangement in accordance with claim 11, wherein the power of the drive is supplied by detection loops in the hall.

13. The flying arrangement in accordance with claim 8, wherein fuel burning motors for driving the lifting units are included on the platform.

14. The flying arrangement in accordance with claim 8, wherein the lifting units are designed in the form of rocket boosters.

15. The flying arrangement as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one flying unit is equipped with a position-detection device.

16. The flying arrangement in accordance with claim 15, wherein the flying unit can be controlled by means of a remote control device.

17. The flying arrangement in accordance with claim 16, wherein the flying unit can be guided to a landing position on the ground by means of a remote control device.

18. The flying arrangement as claimed in claim 1, wherein the hall comprises at least two zones and that flying with a flying unit can be restricted to one of the zones or to certain zones by means of the remote control device.

19. The flying arrangement as claimed in claim 15, wherein at least one flying unit has distance sensors that are connected to the remote control device.
