    Abstract: An aircraft that enables an efficient and safe transition from hovering to level-flight. The aircraft according to the present invention includes a lift generating part, a thrust generating part capable of flying and hovering, a connecting part that displaceably connects the lift generating part and the thrust generating part so that the lift generating part can maintain a positive angle of attack with respect to the flying direction at least at the time of ascending. The lift generating part is a wing part having a main surface, and at least at the time of hovering, a propulsion direction by the thrust generating part is along a direction obliquely intersecting the vertical direction. At least at the time of hovering, the propulsion direction and the main surface form an obtuse angle. At least at the time of hovering, the propulsion direction is along the vertical direction.

    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a flying body having a new structure capable of improving flight efficiency. [Solution] The problem is addressed by a flying body capable of traveling along at least a first direction and comprising an airframe part and an auxiliary part wherein the airframe part has a body part and a lift generating part, the body part having a right part and a left part extending along the first direction and a connecting part whereby the ends of the right part and the left part in a second direction opposing to the first direction are connected. The flying body is thus configured so as to create a surrounded space surrounded by the left part, the right part, and the connecting part when seen from a third direction perpendicular to the first direction.

    Abstract: A landing facility that enables flight vehicles to land safely even in strong winds. The landing system of the invention includes a first area for landing a flight vehicle, a windbreak part having a predetermined height and cover part at least a portion of the perimeter of the first area, and a second area located away from the windbreak part, where the flight vehicle descends to a predetermined flight altitude. The flight altitude is lower than the predetermined height of the windbreak part. The second area is an area selected from a plurality of permitted areas where vertical descent is permitted. A portion of the windbreak part comprises a net.
