摘要：
Systems, methods, and devices provide a vehicle, such as an aircraft, with rotors configured to function as a tri-copter for vertical takeoff and landing (“VTOL”) and a fixed-wing vehicle for forward flight. One rotor may be mounted at a front of the vehicle fuselage on a hinged structure controlled by an actuator to tilt from horizontal to vertical positions. Two additional rotors may be mounted on the horizontal surface of the vehicle tail structure with rotor axes oriented vertically to the fuselage. For forward flight of the vehicle, the front rotor may be rotated down such that the front rotor axis may be oriented horizontally along the fuselage and the front rotor may act as a propeller. For vertical flight, the front rotor may be rotated up such that the front rotor axis may be oriented vertically to the fuselage, while the tail rotors may be activated.
摘要（中）：
系统，方法和设备提供诸如飞行器的车辆，其具有被配置为用作用于垂直起飞和着陆（“垂直起落架”）和用于向前飞行的固定翼车辆的三重起重机的转子。 一个转子可以安装在车身机身的前部，并由致动器控制的铰链结构从水平位置倾斜到垂直位置。 两个附加的转子可以安装在车辆尾部结构的水平表面上，其转子轴线垂直于机身。 对于车辆的前进飞行，前转子可以向下旋转，使得前转子轴线可以沿着机身水平定向，并且前转子可以用作螺旋桨。 对于垂直飞行，前转子可以向上旋转，使得前转子轴线可以垂直定向到机身，而尾转子可以被启动。
