Aircraft and power device
To provide an aircraft having improved efficiency and flexibility of the airframe configuration when installing a functional part in the airframe, and a power unit having a configuration for the improved efficiency and flexibility. To provide an aircraft, comprising: a power unit having a first space open at least one of its upper or lower surface; a propeller having a first through-space and connected to the power unit; and a functional part having a predetermined function and located at least partially in an internal space formed by the first space and the first through-space.
1. An aircraft, comprising:
a power unit having a first space open at least on one of an upper surface or a lower surface of the power unit;
a propeller having a first through-space and connected to the power unit;
a pair of holding parts defined by an arm or a frame of the aircraft and holding the power unit and the propeller on one side of the pair of holding parts; and
a functional part having a predetermined function and including a grounding part that is configured to be in contact with a ground when landed,
wherein
the grounding part is coaxially arranged with the power unit and is located at least in part within an internal space formed by the first space and the first through-space, and
the grounding part has an end protruding from the first space of the power unit and mounted to the one side of the pair of holding parts.
2. The aircraft according to claim 1 ,
wherein the functional part has a non-rotating configuration.
3. The aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein a portion of the functional part protrudes from the first through-space of the propeller.
4. The aircraft according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first space is a second through-space through the power unit.
5. The aircraft according to claim 1 ,
wherein the functional part comprises:
a support part at least partially located in the internal space; and
a function-providing part connected to the support part and providing the predetermined function.
6. The aircraft according to claim 5 ,
wherein the aircraft includes a propeller guard as the function-providing part.
7. The aircraft according to claim 2 , wherein a portion of the functional part protrudes from the first through-space of the propeller.
8. The aircraft according to claim 2 ,
wherein the first space is a second through-space through the power unit.
9. The aircraft according to claim 3 ,
wherein the first space is a second through-space through the power unit.
10. The aircraft according to claim 7 ,
wherein the first space is a second through-space through the power unit.
11. The aircraft according to claim 3 , wherein
the portion of the functional part is mounted to the pair of holding parts.
12. The aircraft according to claim 11 , wherein the propeller is mounted to a lower the one side of the holding part via the functional part.
13. The aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein the grounding part is cylindrical with a center axis.
14. The aircraft according to claim 13 , wherein the power unit is rotatable about the center axis of the grounding part.
15. The aircraft according to claim 1 , further comprising a further power unit and a further propeller, wherein
the pair of holding parts further holds the further power unit and the further propeller on the one side of the pair of holding parts.
16. The aircraft according to claim 15 , wherein the one side of the pair of holding parts is a lower side of the pair of holding parts and is configured to face the ground when landed.
