First Claim
1. An unmanned aircraft system comprising:
- a manned aircraft andan unmanned aircraft,wherein said manned aircraft includes;
a manned aircraft main wing;
a manned aircraft fuselage;
a manned aircraft landing system; and
a manned aircraft joining mechanism provided at a bottom portion of said manned aircraft fuselage,wherein said unmanned aircraft includes;
an unmanned aircraft main wing;
an unmanned aircraft fuselage;
an unmanned aircraft landing system; and
an unmanned aircraft joining mechanism provided at a roof portion of said unmanned aircraft fuselage,wherein said manned aircraft joining mechanism and said unmanned aircraft joining mechanism are configured to be detachably joined,wherein said manned aircraft joining mechanism includes;
a first joining rod;
a second joining rod;
a first actuator;
a second actuator; and
a manned aircraft contact portion,wherein said unmanned aircraft joining mechanism includes;
a first joining hole portion in which a first joining hole is formed;
a second joining hole portion in which a second joining hole is formed;
a first locking portion;
a second locking portion; and
an unmanned aircraft contact portion,wherein said first actuator is configured to move said first joining rod in a first direction to insert said first joining rod into said first joining hole,wherein said second actuator is configured to move said second joining rod in said first direction to insert said second joining rod into said second joining hole,wherein said first locking portion is configured to lock said first joining rod such that said first joining rod is not pulled out from said first joining hole,wherein said second locking portion is configured to lock said second joining rod such that said second joining rod is not pulled out from said second joining hole, andwherein said first actuator and said second actuator are configured to move said first joining rod and said second joining rod in a direction opposite to said first direction to cause said first contact portion to contact said second contact portion.

Abstract
An unmanned aircraft system includes a manned aircraft and an unmanned aircraft. The manned aircraft includes a manned aircraft main wing, a manned aircraft fuselage, a manned aircraft landing system, and a manned aircraft joining mechanism provided at a bottom portion of the manned aircraft fuselage. The unmanned aircraft includes an unmanned aircraft main wing, an unmanned aircraft fuselage, an unmanned aircraft landing system, and an unmanned aircraft joining mechanism provided at a roof portion of the unmanned aircraft fuselage. The manned aircraft joining mechanism and the unmanned aircraft joining mechanism are detachably joined. The unmanned aircraft system can take off or land in a state that the unmanned aircraft and the manned aircraft are joined.
