Abstract:
An apparatus for generating thrust for air transport includes a main thrust device, and an auxiliary thrust device configured to generate auxiliary thrust so as to enable an aircraft to vertically take off and land. The apparatus further includes: wings fixed to left and right sides of a fuselage of the aircraft, rotors installed on the wings and configured to generate thrust. In particular, the main thrust device provides driving force to the rotors using motors and an engine, and the auxiliary thrust device is installed in the fuselage and has a center of gravity configured to coincide with a center of gravity of the aircraft.
