Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An aircraft includes a short-range radar that is configured to detect a trajectory, which is specified based on a position detection of the aircraft by a ground station.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An aircraft comprising: a short-range radar device that detects a landing trajectory for the aircraft, which is specified on the basis of a position detection of the aircraft by a ground station; and detection software of the short-range radar device that interprets symbols transmitted by the ground station, said symbols representing a direction of movement and speed for landing the aircraft, wherein the landing trajectory for the aircraft is determined based upon the symbols interpreted by the detection software. 2. The aircraft as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the short-range radar device is configured to read the symbols from a ferroelectric liquid display, and the trajectory is specified by the ferroelectric liquid display. 3. The aircraft as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aircraft comprises an all-electric drive. 4. The aircraft as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aircraft comprises either bent or bendable wings. 5. The aircraft as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aircraft includes a fast-charging battery system. 6. The aircraft as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aircraft further comprises autopilot software that is configured to determine the landing trajectory for the aircraft based upon the symbols interpreted by the detection software, and guide the aircraft along the landing trajectory.
