The present disclosure pertains to self-piloted, electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft that are safe, low-noise, and cost-effective to operate for cargo-carrying and passenger-carryingapplications over relatively long ranges. A VTOL aircraft has at least one wing that is rotatable relative to a fuselage of the VTOL aircraft for transitioning the VTOL aircraft between a hover configuration and a forward-flight configuration. Rotation of the wing may be passively controlled using aerodynamic forces, thereby obviating the need of using an actuator for actively controlling the rotation.

    本公开涉及自动驾驶电动垂直起降(VTOL)飞行器,其可以在较长距离范围内安全、低噪且成本经济地运行以用于载货和载客应用。一种VTOL飞行器具有至少一个机翼,该机翼可相对于VTOL飞行器机身旋转,以使VTOL飞行器在悬停构造和向前飞行构造之间转换。可以使用空气动力被动地控制机翼的旋转,从而不需要使用致动器来主动控制旋转。
