Flight module and aircraft equipped with the same

This technology features a flight module and an aircraft equipped with it, where a propulsion unit is connected inside the module's body via a 2-axis joint to enable roll and pitch movements, allowing multiple modules to be combined to form variable aircraft configurations.

Existing multi-rotor aircraft have faced challenges in adapting to diverse missions due to takeoff weight limitations caused by thrust constraints, short flight times, and restrictions on the type and performance of onboard equipment.

This technology proposes a method to increase thrust and extend flight time by combining, separating, and rearranging multiple flight modules during flight. By using joints and actuators to control the thrust direction of each module, flight efficiency can be optimized. In the industrial drone sector, where cargo transport, large structure inspection, and mission-specific configurations are required, this technology dramatically increases operational flexibility by allowing performance to be scaled simply through module combination.
