A convertiplane structure (100), having a longitudinal axis x and a plane n orthogonal to it, comprises a main wing (120) arranged to rotate about at least one transversal rotation axis y, an auxiliary wing (130), which is located back with respect to main wing (120), and arranged to rotate about at least one transversal rotation axis y', at least two main propellers (220) located on the main wing (120), and at least two auxiliary propellers (230) located on the auxiliary wing (130). The auxiliary wing (130) is located at a vertical height higher than main wing (120). Two vertical wings (140) are also provided located in such a way that the projections on the plane n of the main wing (120), of the auxiliary wing (130) and of the vertical wings (140) shape a closed polygon, thus reducing the induced drag and increasing the overall aerodynamic efficiency.

Abstract
A convertiplane structure (100), having a longitudinal axis x and a plane n orthogonal to it, comprises a main wing (120) arranged to rotate about at least one transversal rotation axis y, an auxiliary wing (130), which is located back with respect to main wing (120), and arranged to rotate about at least one transversal rotation axis y', at least two main propellers (220) located on the main wing (120), and at least two auxiliary propellers (230) located on the auxiliary wing (130). The auxiliary wing (130) is located at a vertical height higher than main wing (120). Two vertical wings (140) are also provided located in such a way that the projections on the plane n of the main wing (120), of the auxiliary wing (130) and of the vertical wings (140) shape a closed polygon, thus reducing the induced drag and increasing the overall aerodynamic efficiency.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
