    Multirotor aircraft with electric or hybrid motorization with optimized energy consumption.
    The present invention is in the field of multirotor aircraft and in particular multirotor aircraft dedicated to the transport of people and / or goods.
    The present invention relates to a multirotor aircraft with electric or hybrid propulsion with full redundancy on the lift, propulsion and control functions with optimized energy consumption.
    The expression “multirotor aircraft” designates thereafter and for convenience an aircraft provided with at least two rotors respectively forming a rotary wing. For example, a multirotor aircraft conventionally used today may have three, four, six, eight rotors for example. A multirotor aircraft can sometimes perform a substantially vertical takeoff and landing. For this purpose, one or more rotors of this multirotor aircraft are arranged so that their rotor discs are substantially horizontal, namely that these rotors have a substantially vertical axis of rotation, in order to respectively form a rotary wing. A multirotor aircraft is also designated by the term "drone" when it is without pilot or passenger on board.
    Many architectures of multirotor aircraft have been studied, giving rise to simple demonstrators or to production for the architectures considered most interesting. New architectures continue to be explored today. The dimensions of these multirotor aircraft can vary from a few centimeters to tens of meters, both in length, namely longitudinally, and in scope, ie transversely.
    In the context of the invention, a multirotor aircraft is used mainly in the context of an air transport mission with a commercial or parapublic vocation and in sensitive environmental zones, such as cities or national parks for example, and on limited distances, typically between 50 and 100 kilometers (50 and 100 km). These air transport operations are therefore short, of the order of a few tens of minutes to an hour for example, and allow the transport of passenger (s) and / or goods (s). In addition, their locations in sensitive areas impose significant environmental and security constraints.
    These different architectures can combine the use of rotors dedicated to the lift of the aircraft, namely with a substantially vertical axis of rotation, forming rotary wings and rotors dedicated to its propulsion, namely with a substantially horizontal axis of rotation, forming advancement propellers or else use the same rotors for the lift and propulsion of the aircraft. These different architectures can also combine the use of fixed and rotary wings.
    The architectures of aircraft whose lift is provided only by rotors consume more energy in translational flight than the architectures of aircraft whose lift is provided by one or more fixed wings in forward flight and consequently have a range limited. In addition, the flight attitude of these aircraft, the lift of which is provided solely by rotors, remains uncertain in translational flight and can lead to poor flight comfort.
    Document US 3089666 describes for example an aircraft comprising one or more fixed wings and several rotors rocking around a transverse horizontal axis. In this way, the rotors only provide substantially vertical aerodynamic forces of lift during takeoff and landing phases and substantially horizontal aerodynamic forces of advancement during the cruise phase.
    Document WO 2017/200609 describes an aircraft comprising two wings and several rotors fixed to each of these wings. The wings carrying the rotors tilt about a transverse horizontal axis so that the rotors generate a lift or else a force of advance according to the position of the wings.
    However, for these two architectures, the transition phase between horizontal flight and vertical flight can be complex to manage. In addition, the tilting of the rotors or of each wing involves an equally complex mechanical system which can have a significant mass. Finally, a failure of such a mechanical tilting system can make piloting this aircraft very difficult, even dangerous.
    The documents WO 2018/057414, WO 2013/013084, WO 2012/012474, US 2012/0012692 and US 2016/0207625 describing multirotor aircraft comprising one or more fixed wings and several rotors, the rotor disc of which is substantially horizontal, are also known. , capable of generating a vertical lift as well as one or more rotors, whose rotor disc is substantially vertical, respectively forming a horizontal advancement propeller.
    Document US 2016/0207625 describes in particular a multirotor aircraft provided with two fixed wings of substantially identical dimensions, four rotors respectively positioned at a free end of each wing and one or more advancement propellers. Document WO 2018/057414 describes a multirotor aircraft comprising twelve rotors fixed in front of or behind a wing, each rotor being able to be tilted around a longitudinal horizontal axis. However, the proximity of the rotors to a wing can cause the appearance of an aerodynamic force directed downwards, designated "downforce", and opposing the lift of the aircraft. Consequently, the energy consumption of the aircraft is increased in order to compensate for this decrease, thereby limiting the range of the aircraft.
    Finally, the documents, WO 2013/013084, WO 2012/012474 and US 2012/0012692 describe a multirotor aircraft provided with two wings of different dimensions and arranged in two distinct parallel planes, eight rotors and two propellers positioned behind the rear wing. The eight rotors form two sets of four longitudinally aligned rotors. These two sets of rotors are positioned between the two wings and in substantially the same plane as the rear wing. The multirotor aircraft may include a fairing for each series of rotors in order to limit the occurrence of aerodynamic drag. However, the air flow sweeping the rear wing, which is the largest wing and providing essential lift in cruising flight, is disturbed after sweeping the rotors located upstream of this rear wing. As a result, the efficiency of this rear wing is reduced, which then contributes to increasing the energy consumption of the aircraft and consequently reducing its range.
    In addition, whatever the architecture of a multirotor aircraft, each rotor can be driven directly by an electric motor or by a heat engine or even by a mechanical transmission chain itself driven by one or more heat engines. When each rotor is driven by an electric motor, the aircraft may comprise a single source of electrical energy comprising for example one or more devices for storing electrical energy, such as a rechargeable battery or not, or even a battery with combustible.
    The aircraft may also include a second source of electrical energy comprising an electric generator driven by a heat engine. In this way, the multirotor aircraft can be powered only electrically or hybrid, namely electric and thermal.
    Furthermore, according to the architecture of such a multirotor aircraft, the consequences of a failure of a rotor or of an engine can be significant on the one hand in terms of the mechanical strength and balance of the aircraft , and on the other hand in terms of flight safety of the aircraft. Indeed, the failure of a rotor causes an imbalance in the lift and / or advancement forces generated by all of the rotors of the aircraft which can then generate mechanical stresses, in particular bending and / or torsion , in the structure of the aircraft.
    In addition, such a failure of a rotor causes a loss of lift and / or advancing force which, if not compensated by the other rotors, can jeopardize the flight safety of the aircraft, making its piloting difficult, and, consequently, its complex and dangerous landing.
    The present invention therefore relates to a multirotor aircraft with electric or hybrid motorization making it possible to overcome the limitations mentioned above, in particular having optimized energy consumption and also making it possible to compensate for a loss of lift of at least one of these rotors without jeopardizing the safety of the flight of the aircraft, nor its structural mechanical strength.
    An object according to the present invention is a multirotor aircraft with electric or hybrid motorization, the aircraft comprising:
    - a longitudinal structure comprising two longitudinal ends,
    - a fuselage,
    - a set of fixed bearing surfaces provided with two fixed wings mainly generating the aerodynamic lift force necessary for the aircraft during a cruise flight phase, the two fixed wings being connected respectively to each end of the longitudinal structure,
    a set of rotary bearing surfaces provided with at least six rotors mainly generating the aerodynamic lift force necessary for the aircraft during takeoff and landing phases, the rotors being arranged respectively on a support fixed to a fixed wing and so as not to be situated vertically on a fixed wing,
    - a propulsion unit comprising at least one propeller,
    - a power plant comprising several electric motors and at least one source of electric energy:
    o an electric motor, respectively driving a rotor or a propeller, o at least one source of electrical energy comprising one or more electrical energy storage devices,
    - an automatic piloting system for the aircraft.
    The term “longitudinal structure” is understood to mean a structure extending essentially parallel to a longitudinal direction of the aircraft. Such a longitudinal direction X extends from the rear of the aircraft towards the front of the aircraft. Furthermore, an elevation direction Z of the aircraft extends from top to bottom perpendicular to the longitudinal direction X. Finally, a transverse direction Y extends from left to right perpendicular to the longitudinal directions X and elevation Z.
    The term “longitudinal” thus relates to any direction parallel to the longitudinal direction X. Similarly, the term “transverse” relates to any direction parallel to the transverse direction Y and the expression “in elevation” or the term “vertical Are relative to any direction parallel to the direction of elevation Z.
    Furthermore, the longitudinal direction X is the roll axis of the aircraft, the transverse direction Y is the pitch axis and the elevation direction Z is the yaw axis.
    The multirotor aircraft according to the invention is remarkable in that the two fixed wings are rigidly fixed respectively to the longitudinal ends of the longitudinal structure, a plane P1 being attached to the longitudinal structure, the rotors are arranged in the same second plane P2 distinct from the foreground P1 and the fuselage is fixed to the longitudinal structure. Preferably, the second plane P2 is substantially parallel to the first plane P1.
    The first plane P1 attached to the longitudinal structure is preferably parallel to the longitudinal direction X and to the transverse direction Y.
    The second plane P2 is formed by the respective intersections of the axes of rotation of the rotors with a mean plane formed by their blades. The axes of rotation of the rotors are substantially parallel to the direction of elevation Z.
    The flight of a multirotor aircraft comprises a take-off phase, a cruise phase and a landing phase. The term “cruising phase” is understood to mean the flight phase consisting of cruising flight in a substantially horizontal direction and / or in horizontal steps, at a substantially horizontal and longitudinal forward speed. In the cruising phase, the forward speed is for example greater than or equal to a predetermined forward speed.
    From this predetermined forward speed, all of the fixed bearing surfaces advantageously generate most, if not all, of the lift required for the aircraft. For example, the set of fixed bearing surfaces generates 80 to 100% of the lift required by the aircraft during this cruising phase.
    When advancing the aircraft with a forward speed lower than the predetermined forward speed, the lift required for the aircraft is generated jointly by all of the fixed bearing surfaces and all of the rotating bearing surfaces.
    In addition, during vertical flights, namely the takeoff and landing phases, and flights at low forward speeds, all of the fixed bearing surfaces generate a low lift. Therefore, all of the rotating bearing surfaces generate the majority of the lift required for the aircraft.
    In this way, the multirotor aircraft according to the invention advantageously has redundancy in the lift functions.
    The longitudinal structure can be provided with two longitudinal beams arranged in the first plane P1 and on which is fixed directly at least one fixed wing. The two longitudinal beams are straight and arranged in a coplanar manner. The first plane P1 is then formed more precisely by the mean lines of these longitudinal beams. The two longitudinal beams are for example metallic, typically made of steel or aluminum alloy, or made of composite materials, such as carbon fiber.
    The longitudinal structure may include a rigid box, in place of the two longitudinal beams 5 previously mentioned. This rigid box is predominantly planar in shape and arranged in the first plane P1, at least one fixed wing being fixed directly to the rigid box. The cross section of this rigid box can for example be rectangular or elliptical. This rigid box is for example made in one piece from 10 composite materials.
    According to a first embodiment of the multirotor aircraft according to the invention, the two fixed wings are rigidly fixed to the longitudinal structure and substantially in the first plane P1. In this way, the two fixed wings are typically fixed in the extension of the two longitudinal beams or else of the rigid box capable of forming the longitudinal structure.
    The two fixed wings are also preferably fixed directly to the longitudinal beams or else to the rigid box. In this way, a rigid central frame is formed by the longitudinal structure and the two fixed wings. This rigid central frame can thus be formed for example by the two longitudinal beams and the two fixed wings or else by the rigid box and the two fixed wings.
    The two fixed wings are thus arranged substantially in the first plane P1 or else very close to this first plane P1 and, in this way, offset vertically relative to the rotors and to the second plane P2. However, the two fixed wings can have different orientations in order to improve the aerodynamic behavior of the aircraft. The two fixed wings are then not parallel to each other, nor to the foreground P1.
    According to a second embodiment of the multirotor aircraft according to the invention, a fixed wing is offset vertically, preferably downward, relative to the other fixed wing and relative to the foreground P1. The two fixed wings are thus offset vertically with respect to the rotors so that the two fixed wings are not arranged in the second plane P2.
    Preferably, a front fixed wing, located longitudinally in front of the longitudinal structure of the multirotor aircraft according to the invention, is offset vertically downward relative to a rear fixed wing, located longitudinally in the rear of the structure longitudinal of the multirotor aircraft, and relative to the foreground P1.
    The longitudinal structure then comprises two connecting beams inclined relative to the first plane P1 and this fixed wing offset vertically is fixed to a first end of each of the connecting beams. The two connecting beams contribute with the fixed wings and the rest of the longitudinal structure to form a rigid central frame.
    For example, the two connecting beams are rigidly fixed to a rigid box that comprises the longitudinal structure at a second end of each connecting beam. This second end of each connecting beam is opposite to the fixed wing fixed to this connecting beam. The two connecting beams and the rigid box form the rigid central frame with the fixed wings.
    According to another example, the two connecting beams are rigidly fixed respectively to one of the two longitudinal beams that the longitudinal structure comprises at the second end of each connecting beam. The two connecting beams and the two longitudinal beams form the rigid central frame with the fixed wings.
    In addition, in this case, the longitudinal structure may also include a transverse beam rigidly fixed to the two longitudinal beams, for example at the second end of the connecting beams. This transverse beam connects the two longitudinal beams and contributes to the rigidity of the rigid central frame.
    The two connecting beams and, where appropriate, the transverse beam are for example metallic or else made of composite materials.
    In addition, a longitudinal beam and a connecting beam may constitute a single piece. A sharp angle may be present at the junction between a longitudinal beam and a connecting beam. Connecting radii can also be used to connect a longitudinal beam and a connecting beam.
    Whatever the embodiment of the invention, the two fixed wings forming I together of the fixed bearing surfaces are positioned at the longitudinal ends of the longitudinal structure in order to limit the longitudinal dimensions of the aircraft.
    In addition, whatever the embodiment, the rotors forming all of the rotating bearing surfaces are offset horizontally and vertically relative to the longitudinal structure and the fixed wings. First of all, a shift in the horizontal plane, namely perpendicular to the direction in elevation Z, between the rotors and the fixed wings allows that each rotor is not located above a fixed wing and therefore does not advantageously cause not the appearance of a downforce on the fixed wings of the aircraft.
    Then, a shift in the vertical plane, namely parallel to the direction in elevation Z, between the rotors and the 5 fixed wings advantageously makes it possible to optimize the generation of the lift by each of these fixed wings. Indeed, the air flow sweeping the two fixed wings located in the foreground P1, in particular the rear fixed wing, is not or little disturbed by the rotors which are located upstream of these fixed wings, in 10 le second plane P2 distinct from the first plane P1, therefore making it possible to optimally generate a lift.
    In addition, in the context of the second embodiment of the multirotor aircraft according to the invention, the vertical offset between the two fixed wings also improves the aerodynamic efficiency 15 of each fixed wing, whatever the incidence of the aircraft. .
    In addition, during the cruising phase, the rotational speed of the rotors can be reduced, or even stopped when the lift generated by the fixed wings is sufficient for the flight of the aircraft. Consequently, the multirotor aircraft according to the invention 20 advantageously performs the cruising phase by optimizing energy consumption.
    The presence of the rigid central frame provides mechanical strength and significant rigidity of the aircraft, advantageously making it possible to use all of the forces and moments 25 coming from the fixed wings and the rotors. In addition, in the event of loss of lift of at least one rotor ensuring the lift of the multirotor aircraft according to the invention, the aerodynamic lift forces generated by the remaining functional rotors will be unbalanced and will cause additional mechanical stresses on the multirotor aircraft and in particular on the longitudinal structure. Advantageously, the presence of this rigid central frame makes it possible to absorb these mechanical stresses and in particular the torsion which may appear.
    In the event of loss of lift of at least one rotor, the other rotors remaining functional can ensure an increase in the lift respectively generated in order to compensate for this loss of lift of at least one rotor, which can contribute to increasing the mechanical stresses liable to appear on the multirotor aircraft and in particular on the longitudinal structure. The rigid central frame provides the multirotor aircraft with sufficient mechanical strength to withstand these additional mechanical stresses.
    The fuselage of the multirotor aircraft according to the invention allows the transport of one or more passengers and / or goods. The fuselage is fixed to the longitudinal structure, for example by means of connecting rods. The fuselage can thus be easily replaced as required, for example to switch from transporting only passengers to transporting goods.
    The fuselage may also include a landing gear, for example a wheeled landing gear or a skid landing gear.
    Furthermore, the rotors are arranged so that two adjacent rotors are counter-rotating. In this way, the rotor or rotors closest to another rotor have a direction of rotation opposite to the direction of rotation of this other rotor. Consequently, the inertial effects consecutive to the respective rotations of these rotors compensate for each other without requiring the use in this case of an anti-torque device as traditionally used on helicopters.
    The set of rotating bearing surfaces advantageously comprises at least six rotors. The use of a large number of rotors makes it possible to limit the power installed for the rotational drive of each rotor and therefore to use motors, whether electric or thermal of limited power and, consequently, of dimensions reduced. In particular, such electric motors can advantageously operate only with air cooling, which avoids the presence of a complex, heavy and expensive liquid cooling installation. The use of air-cooled electric motors also improves the reliability and availability of the multirotor aircraft compared to an aircraft with electric motors and a liquid cooling installation.
    In addition, the use of a large number of rotors advantageously allows a loss of lift of one rotor, or even of two rotors, to be compensated by the other rotors remaining functional, so that this loss of lift has no effect. significant on the flight of the aircraft. A loss of lift of a rotor is due to the failure of the motor driving this rotor or to the breakage of a rotor blade for example.
    For example, all of the rotating bearing surfaces have six rotors or eight rotors.
    Each rotor has a substantially vertical axis of rotation and preferably comprises blades whose pitch is fixed, the variation in the lift generated by each rotor being obtained by modifying the speed of rotation of this rotor. Each rotor comprises for example three blades. The rotors are preferably of the same dimensions. However, the dimensions of these rotors can be different in order to optimize in particular the size of the multirotor aircraft according to the invention.
    The rotors are respectively arranged on a support fixed to a fixed wing. In this way, several rotors are linked to the same wing f, x. Each rotor is preferably arranged at the end with a support fixed to a fixed wing.
    Each rotor of all the rotating bearing surfaces may also include a fairing in order to limit the creation of an aerodynamic drag force by this rotor in advancing flight. This fairing also allows the rotation of the rotor blades to be stopped in forward flight without generating 10 vibrational or aerodynamic disturbances.
    This fairing also provides protection of the blades against projection of objects or impact with birds for example.
    This fairing may also include a plurality of cavities or other shapes forming acoustic energy absorption systems in order to limit the propagation of noise that is annoying for the human ear. Such cavities or such shapes can, for example, form Helmholtz resonators, making it possible in particular to dissipate a resonance phenomenon potentially caused by the air flow generated by the rotation of the rotor blades and thus avoid the propagation of unpleasant sound vibrations for the human ear.
    This fairing is for example connected to the support on which the rotor is fixed by one or more link arms. In addition, the fairing of each rotor can also advantageously generate a lift during the cruising phase, adding to the lift generated by all of the fixed bearing surfaces.
    The rotors of all the rotating bearing surfaces are preferably aligned on two longitudinal lines, so as to limit the aerodynamic drag generated by these rotors during the cruising phase. Advantageously, the supports on which the rotors forming a longitudinal line are fixed are also aligned longitudinally in order also to limit the drag generated by these supports.
    The fairings of the rotors forming a longitudinal line can be partly merged in order to form a single fairing.
    In addition, along each longitudinal line of rotors, the direction of rotation of a rotor is reversed between two consecutive rotors so that two adjacent rotors of a longitudinal line are counter-rotating.
    Furthermore, the two fixed wings, arranged respectively at each end of the longitudinal structure can be of the same dimensions. However, the two fixed wings can also be of different dimensions. For example, the front fixed wing can be smaller than the rear fixed wing. In this way, the front fixed wing essentially ensures stabilization of the aircraft during the cruising phase while the rear fixed wing ensures a significant part of the lift of the aircraft during this cruising phase.
    At least one fixed wing may have movable flaps installed at the trailing edge of the fixed wing and on either side of the longitudinal structure. These flaps are controllable to ensure movements of the multirotor aircraft around the axes of pitch and roll. Preferably, a fixed wing comprises four movable flaps, two movable flaps being arranged on either side transversely of the longitudinal structure, in order to compensate for a failure, such as a blockage, of one of the movable flaps and to ensure in this way control of the multirotor aircraft safely.
    Preferably, the two fixed wings have movable flaps arranged at their trailing edge.
    The failure of a flap can also be compensated by an adapted differential use of the lift of the rotors controlled for example by the automatic piloting system of the aircraft.
    In this way, the multirotor aircraft according to the invention advantageously has redundancy in the flight control functions around the axes of pitch and roll.
    Furthermore, the propulsion unit of the multirotor aircraft according to the invention comprises at least one advancing propeller whose axis of rotation is substantially horizontal and longitudinal. This at least one advancement propeller is arranged for example above this fixed wing. Preferably, at least one advancement propeller is fixed above the rear fixed wing by means of a mast. The axis of rotation of each advancement propeller is advantageously offset with respect to the first plane P1 of the fixed wings and to the second plane P2 of the rotors so that an undisturbed air flow passes through each advancement propeller.
    Each advancement propeller comprises for example three blades with variable pitch collectively. In this way, the advancing force generated by each propeller can be modulated on the one hand by the variation of the speed of rotation of the advancing propeller and on the other hand by the variation of the collective pitch of the blades.
    The propulsion unit may include two advancement propellers attached to the longitudinal structure in order to provide better mechanical strength to the aircraft. Each advancement propeller is for example aligned with a longitudinal beam of this longitudinal structure. A differential thrust of the two propellers advantageously allows yaw movement during the forward flight.
    In this way, the multirotor aircraft according to the invention advantageously has redundancy in the propulsion functions.
    At least one fixed wing can also include at least one vertical fin in order to ensure stabilization around the yaw axis of the multirotor aircraft according to the invention. This at least one vertical fin can also include at least one movable flap in order to control a yaw movement of the multirotor aircraft. This vertical fin comprising at least one movable flap also makes it possible to compensate for a failure of a advancement propeller when the multirotor aircraft comprises at least two advancement propellers for piloting the multirotor aircraft around its yaw axis.
    In this way, the multirotor aircraft according to the invention advantageously has redundancy in the flight control functions around its yaw axis.
    Each vertical fin is arranged, for example, at a free end of a fixed wing, preferably the rear fixed wing, and is for example oriented downwards in order to limit the aerodynamic roll / yaw coupling. A fixed wing can have two vertical fins arranged respectively at each of its free ends.
    A vertical fin can also be formed by a mast supporting a forward propeller.
    The power plant comprises several electric motors and at least one source of electric energy. An air-cooled electric motor.

    The invention and its advantages will appear in more detail in the context of the description which follows with examples given by way of illustration with reference to the appended figures which represent:

    FIGS. 6 and 7, a second embodiment of a multirotor aircraft,
    FIG. 8, a detailed view of part of the fuselage of the aircraft and of its sources of electrical energy.
    The elements present in several separate figures are assigned a single reference.
    A first embodiment of a multirotor aircraft 10 according to the invention comprises three variants. A first variant is shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, in a perspective view in FIG. 1, in a top view in FIG. 2 and in a side view in FIG. 3.
    A second variant is shown in Figure 4 in a perspective view and a third variant is shown in Figure 5 in a top view.
    A second embodiment of a multirotor aircraft 10 according to the invention is shown in a side view in FIG. 6 and in a top view in FIG. 7.
    In these figures, a reference (Χ, Υ, Ζ) is shown. The longitudinal direction X extends from the rear of the aircraft 10 towards the front of the aircraft 10. The elevation direction Z extends from top to bottom perpendicular to the longitudinal direction X and the transverse direction Y extends from left to right perpendicular to the longitudinal X and elevation Z directions.
    In this way, the longitudinal direction X is the roll axis of the aircraft 10, the transverse direction Y is the pitch axis and the elevation direction Z is the yaw axis.
    In common with these two embodiments, a multirotor aircraft 10 comprises:
    - a longitudinal structure 20 extending essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction X,
    - a fuselage 25 fixed to the longitudinal structure 20 by means of connecting rods 26,
    a set of fixed bearing surfaces 30 provided with two fixed wings 31 rigidly connected respectively to the longitudinal ends of the longitudinal structure 20,
    - a set of rotating bearing surfaces 40 provided with at least six rotors 41 respectively arranged on a support 43 fixed to a fixed wing 31,
    - a propulsion unit 50 comprising two advancement propellers 51,
    - a power plant comprising several electric motors 42,52 and at least one source of electric energy 61:
    o an electric motor 42,52 respectively driving a rotor 41 or else a advancement propeller 51, o at least one source of electrical energy 61 comprising several electrical energy storage devices 65, an automatic pilot system 70 of l aircraft 10.
    The fuselage 25 allows the transport of one or more passengers and / or goods. The fuselage 25 is fixed to the longitudinal structure 20 by means of connecting rods 26. The fuselage comprises a landing gear 27.
    According to the first embodiment of the multirotor aircraft 10, the longitudinal structure 20 is planar and according to a first plane P1 parallel to the longitudinal X and transverse directions Y. The two fixed wings 31 are fixed in the extension of the longitudinal structure 20 and are substantially in the first plane P1.
    According to the first and third variants of this first embodiment of the multirotor aircraft 10, the longitudinal structure 20 is provided with two straight longitudinal beams 21 arranged in the first plane P1 and at the ends of which the fixed wings 31 are rigidly fixed.
    According to the second variant of this first embodiment of the multirotor aircraft 10, the longitudinal structure 20 comprises a rigid monobloc and flat box 23, arranged in the first plane P1. The two fixed wings 31 are fixed directly to the rigid box 23.
    In this way, for this first embodiment and whatever the variant, a rigid central frame is formed by the longitudinal structure 20 and the two fixed wings 31. According to the variant, this rigid central frame is formed by the longitudinal beams 5 21 and the two fixed wings 31 or else by the rigid box 23 and the two fixed wings 31.
    In addition, the two fixed wings 31 are offset vertically relative to the rotors 41 and to the second plane P2.
    A front fixed wing 31, located longitudinally at the front 10 of the longitudinal structure 20, is of smaller dimensions than a rear fixed wing 31, located longitudinally behind the longitudinal structure 20. The rear fixed wing 31 thus ensures a significant portion of the lift of the aircraft 10 during a cruise flight phase while the front fixed wing 31 essentially ensures stabilization of the multirotor aircraft 10.
    However, the two fixed wings 31 can be of the same dimensions.
    The two fixed wings 31 each have four movable flaps 32 installed at the trailing edge of each fixed wing 20, two movable flaps 32 being arranged on either side transversely of the longitudinal structure 20. These movable flaps 32 are controllable in order to ensure movements of the multirotor aircraft 10 around its axes of pitch and roll.
    The rear fixed wing 31 also comprises two vertical fins 35 arranged respectively at each free end of this rear fixed wing 31 and oriented downwards in order to ensure stabilization around the yaw axis of the multirotor aircraft 10. Each vertical fin 35 comprises a movable flap 36 making it possible to control a yaw movement of the multirotor aircraft 10.
    The rotors 41 of all the rotating bearing surfaces 40 are arranged in the same second plane P2 distinct from the first plane P1 and parallel to this first plane P1 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6. Each rotor 41 has an axis of rotation substantially vertical and has three blades 45 with fixed pitch. The second plane P2 is formed by the respective intersections of the axes of rotation of the rotors 41 with a mean plane formed by their blades 45. Each rotor 41 is rotated by an electric motor 42 cooled by air. It should be noted that the number of blades is not limiting.
    The rotors 41 are arranged so as to be vertically offset relative to the fixed wings 31, that is to say that the two fixed wings 31 are not positioned in the second plane P2 formed by the rotors 41.
    The rotors 41 are also arranged so as to be offset horizontally relative to the fixed wings 31, namely that each of the rotors 41 is not located vertically, that is to say above or below, by a fixed wing 31.
    According to the first variant of this first embodiment, all of the rotary bearing surfaces 40 have six rotors 41. Two rotors are fixed to the front fixed wing 31 and four rotors 41 are fixed to the rear fixed wing 31 respectively by the intermediate of supports 43.
    According to the second variant and the third variant of this first embodiment of the aircraft 10, the set of rotating bearing surfaces 40 comprises eight rotors 41. Four rotors 41 are fixed to the front fixed wing 31 and four rotors 41 are fixed to the rear fixed wing 31 respectively by means of supports 43.
    According to the second embodiment of the multirotor aircraft 10, the longitudinal structure 20 comprises two longitudinal beams 21, two connecting beams 24 and a transverse beam 22. Each connecting beam 24 is rigidly fixed to a front end of a longitudinal beam 21. The transverse beam 22 is rigidly fixed to the two longitudinal beams 21 and connects them at their front end.
    The rear fixed wing 31 is rigidly fixed to the longitudinal structure 20 along the first plane P1 while the fixed front wing 10 31 is rigidly fixed to the two connecting beams 24 and is offset vertically downward relative to the rear fixed wing 31 and in the foreground P1.
    In this way, for this second embodiment, a rigid central frame is also formed by the longitudinal structure 20 and the two fixed wings 31, more precisely by the longitudinal beams 21, the connecting beams 24, the transverse beam 22 and the two fixed wings 31.
    Thus, whatever the embodiment of the multirotor aircraft 10, a rigid central frame provides the multirotor aircraft 10 20 with a high mechanical strength allowing in particular to withstand the mechanical stresses undergone during the flight as well as those following a loss lift of at least one rotor 41.
    The offset in the vertical plane between the rotors 41 and the fixed wings 31 allows the air flow sweeping the back fixed wing 31 for the first variant of the first embodiment and the two fixed wings 31 for the second and third variant of the first embodiment as well as for the second embodiment is not or only slightly disturbed by the rotors 41 30 located upstream of the rear fixed wing 31 and if necessary of the front fixed wing 31 during a flight d advancement and in particular during a cruise flight phase. In this way, the generation of lift by each of these fixed wings 31 is advantageously optimized.
    In addition, the offset in the horizontal plane between the rotors 41 and the fixed wings 31 allows the air flow passing through each rotor 41 not to sweep a fixed wing 31 and, consequently, advantageously does not cause the appearance of possible downgrading on fixed wings 31.
    Each rotor 41 also includes a fairing 47 making it possible to limit the drag generated by this rotor 41 during a forward flight of the multirotor aircraft 10, and in particular in cruising flight. This fairing 47 is fixed to the support 43 by three link arms 48.
    For the second variant of the first embodiment of the multirotor aircraft 10, the fairing 47 of each rotor 40 comprises a plurality of cavities, as shown in FIG. 4, constituting acoustic energy absorption systems 49 in order to limit the propagation of noise annoying to the human ear from each rotor 40.
    For the first variant of the first embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3 and for the second embodiment shown in Figures 6 and 7, the two rotors 41 fixed to the front fixed wing 31 are of smaller diametric dimensions than the dimensions of the rotors 41 fixed to the rear fixed wing 31 in order to optimize the size of the multirotor aircraft 10.
    For the second and third variant of the first embodiment of the aircraft 10, the eight rotors 41 of all of the rotating lift surfaces 40 are of the same dimensions.
    However, for the second variant shown in FIG. 4, the rotors 41 fixed to the front fixed wing 31 and the rotors 41 fixed to the rear fixed wing 31 are offset transversely in order to limit the longitudinal dimensions of the multirotor aircraft 10.
    Conversely, for the third variant shown in Figure 5, the rotors 41 are aligned along two longitudinal lines so as to limit the aerodynamic drag generated by these rotors 41 during a forward flight. Consequently, the longitudinal dimensions of the multirotor aircraft 10 according to the third variant are greater than the longitudinal dimensions of the aircraft 10 according to the second variant, but the aerodynamic performance of this third variant is improved compared to those of the second variant.
    Furthermore, the rotors 41 are arranged so that two longitudinally adjacent rotors 41 are counter-rotating so as to limit the inertial effects consecutive to the respective rotations of these rotors 41.
    The two advancement propellers 51 of the propulsion assembly 50 of the multirotor aircraft 10, whatever the embodiment of the multirotor aircraft 10 have a substantially horizontal and substantially longitudinal axis of rotation regardless of the mode of this multirotor aircraft 10. The two advancement propellers 51 are fixed to the longitudinal structure 20 and arranged above the rear fixed wing 31, the axis of rotation of each advancement propeller 51 being located in a plane distinct from the first plane P1 and of the second plane P2. Each advancement hehce 51 is fixed to the longitudinal structure 20 by the intermediary of a mast 54 and is aligned with a longitudinal beam 21.
    Each advancement propeller 51 comprises three blades 55 with variable pitch collectively driven in rotation by an air-cooled electric motor 52. It should be noted that the number of blades is not limiting.
    The powerplant of the multirotor aircraft 10 comprises the electric motors 42, 52 respectively driving the rotors 41 and the advancement propellers 51 as well as one or more sources of electrical energy arranged at the rear of the fuselage 25.
    For the first variant of the first embodiment and for the second embodiment, the power plant of the multirotor aircraft 10 comprises an electrical energy source 61 provided with two electrical energy storage devices 65 and a management device. 62 of the electrical energy as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The management device 62 controls in particular the discharge of the two electrical energy storage devices 65. The power plant of the multirotor aircraft 10 according to this first mode of realization is purely electric.
    For the third variant of the first embodiment I power plant of the multirotor aircraft 10 comprises two distinct and independent electrical energy sources as shown in FIGS. 5 and 8. The two electrical energy sources 61 supply each electric motor 42 , 52 and are further separated and isolated from each other so that an incident on one of the two sources of electrical energy 61 does not propagate to I another source of electrical energy 61. For this purpose, the two sources of electrical energy 61 are respectively arranged in a dedicated containment box 67.
    Each source of electrical energy 61 comprises four rechargeable electrical energy storage devices 65, a device 62 for managing electrical energy, as well as a heat engine 63 and an electric generator 64 driven by the heat engine 63 so as to generate electrical energy. A fire wall 66 is arranged between on the one hand the rechargeable electrical energy storage devices 65 and the management device 62 5 and on the other hand the heat engine 63 and the electric generator 64 in order to ensure insulation. in the event of a fire, for example in the area of the heat engine 63. The power plant of the multirotor aircraft 10 according to this third embodiment is called “hybrid”. The management device 62 then controls the charging and discharging of the electrical energy storage devices 65.
    The automatic pilot system 70, arranged for example in an area in front of the fuselage 25 of the multirotor aircraft 10 is provided with sensors (not shown) and makes it possible to control the rotors 41, the advancement propellers 51 and the movable flaps 15 32,36 in order to ensure, independently, the piloting of the multirotor aircraft 10.
    The flight of the multirotor aircraft 10 comprises a take-off phase and a landing phase as well as a cruise phase.
    During the takeoff and landing phases, the lift required for the multirotor aircraft 10 is mainly generated by all of the rotating bearing surfaces 40, namely the rotors 41.
    During the cruising phase, the lift required for the multirotor aircraft 10 is mainly generated by all of the fixed bearing surfaces 30, namely the two fixed wings 31.
    During a transition phase between a take-off or landing phase and a cruising phase, all of the fixed bearing surfaces 30 and all of the rotating bearing surfaces 40 jointly generate the lift required for the multirotor aircraft 10 .
    Naturally, the present invention is subject to numerous variations as to its implementation. Although several embodiments have been described, it is understood that it is not conceivable to identify exhaustively all the possible modes. It is of course conceivable to replace a means described by an equivalent means without departing from the scope of the present invention.
