Design and Simulation of a Tilt - Rotor Deformable Flying Car

In order to solve variety traffic problems, a tilt rotor flying car is designed. For the prototypes, it adapted two tilt rotors, high-mounted folding wing, dual-vertical stabilizer. This helps the prototype possessed the ability of vertical take-off and landing, which means the car combined the advantages of a normal cars as well as a helicopter. The prototype has already been tested in variety of prospects, for example, the security and stability in the flying position; the long-duration of battery over pong distance and the high air and land mobility. The key or main advantage is that the prototype can drive faster than normal airplanes on the ground and fly at a speed surpassing the present cars. For the structure of our car, the most remarkable or significant point is that our blade, wings, stabilizers are all able to fold on or into the car in order to minimize the volume on the ground. With the help of energetic motors, the prototype is able to finish the transformation in just 125 seconds. What’s more, the wheels of our prototypes each has its own steering mechanism which helps it to turn in a smaller radius. In order to give enough motion to take off or drive on the ground, we adapted two turbo prop with a spinning speed of 600 rotation per minutes as well as a engine with 800 horsepower. Then, with the help of Adams as well as Solidworks, the motion when it moves on the ground as well as in the air is simulated. Firstly, in the air our prototypes successfully finish the goal to fly a horizontal and vertical square. Secondly, the car went around a circle on the ground at a constant speed without any jolt, which shows its perfect stability in all time. In conclusion, the prototype of flying car successfully solved the problem in present days, but there are still lots of difficulties, like the charging time and the stability in bad weather.
