Abstract

The pursuit of flight has never ceased, and flying cars are gradually becoming a reality. However, only a few designs can accommodate both ground travel and aerial flight. As a result, aerodynamic research on flying cars is relatively scarce. This paper presents a novel concept of a flying car. The concept transforms between flight mode and vehicle mode through the rotation and folding of rotors and wings. Using aerodynamic simulation methods, the aerodynamic characteristics of the flying car in four states, including ground travel, single body, vertical takeoff and landing, and forward flight, under different incoming flow speeds are studied. The simulation results provide guidance for the design of the flying car concept.
