Abstract

A dual power helicopter without a tail rotor is especially a kind of helicopter with an enhanced ascending and descending power through the dual power. The dual power helicopter of present invention primarily uses two power devices which can be rotated in opposite directions to control a flight of the helicopter. The two power devices are rotated in the opposite directions by steering gears from a same engine, such that the engine power can be completely transmitted to the two power device, enabling the engine power to be completely developed, thereby improving a performance of the helicopter.

Claims

1. A dual power helicopter without a tail rotor comprising a cabin which is provided with at least one driving space;

a power device installed in an interior of the cabin, which primarily provides an engine power, and a top end of which is connected with a clutch;

a gear box set, including a main gear box and a left and right secondary gear boxes, with the main gear box being located at a top end of the clutch, the left and right secondary gear boxes being located at two sides of the main gear box respectively, the left and right secondary gear boxes being rotated in opposite directions through the main gear box, and outer casings of the left and right secondary gear boxes being freely rotated;

two rotors which are located at a top end of the left and right secondary gear boxes respectively;

a coupling lever set which includes a control lever and a plurality of coupling levers, with the control lever being installed in an interior of the cabin to be connected to the plurality of coupling levers which are connected to the outer casings of left and right secondary gear boxes, respectively.

2. The dual power helicopter without a tail rotor according to claim 1, wherein a bottom of the cabin is provided with tires.

3. The dual power helicopter without a tail rotor according to claim 1, wherein a top end of the main gear box is further provided with a containing part for collecting a parachute.

4. The dual power helicopter without a tail rotor according to claim 1, wherein a top end of the containing part is provided with a cap and an interior of the containing part is filled with air pressure, enabling the cap and parachute to be ejected at the same time.
