Abstract

To achieve mass transportation, freer flights, and safer services in an energy-saving manner by allowing the blowout direction of a shroud included rotor having the drive principle of linear motors that can freely change airflow to be changed freely to produce a device capable of freely changing both airflow and wind direction and by attaching the produced device that can freely change airflow and wind direction to the airframe of an aircraft to control the airflow and wind direction of the device. [Means for Solution] The present invention achieves a safe and energy-saving aircraft that allows for transportation of a larger number of passengers and cargoes, freer flights in the sky, and easier control by attaching a large-sized or super-sized rapid airflow generation wind direction changing device with a diameter of greater than 10 m or 20 m to the side surface or wall of the airframe by at least one for each side, that is, at least two in total for both side surfaces or walls and by utilizing the mechanism of the rapid airflow generation wind direction changing devices that can freely control airflow and wind direction.

Claims

1. A rapid airflow generation wind direction changing device for generating airflow and changing wind direction in a rotor such as a propeller or a fan, said device being constructed by integrating an airflow generating device and a rapid wind direction changing device, wherein

(1) said airflow generating device comprises a shroud included rotor having the drive principle of linear motors (hereinafter referred to as shroud included rotor having the drive principle of linear motors in blade end portions, shroud included rotor having the drive principle of linear motors, or simply as shroud included rotor if there is no possibility of confusion with other components) including a shroud and a duct for generating a linear-motor driving force in the vicinities of blade end portions that is composed of an attracting force and a repulsive force generated between an electromagnet disposed on the fixed shroud side as a stator and a permanent magnet disposed on the blade side including a rotating duct as a rotor, and

(2) said rapid wind direction changing device comprises:

a turntable produced in such a manner that a disk or a cylinder having the drive principle of linear motors in the outer peripheral portion thereof rotates with respect to an airframe; and

an attachment fixture for attaching said shroud included rotor to said turntable in a positional relationship in which the rotation axis of said shroud included rotor and the rotation axis of said turntable intersect at right angles to each other.

2. An aircraft in which one or more rapid airflow generation wind direction changing devices according to claim 1 are attached to each side surface or wall of the airframe, that is, two or more such devices in total are attached to both side surfaces or walls in a mutually symmetrical positional relationship, wherein said rapid airflow generation wind direction changing devices are fixed directly and firmly to the side surface or wall of the airframe via the bottom plates thereof.
