First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An aircraft comprising: a first battery, at least one means of transport for short distances having a second battery; and a management system for transferring energy between the first battery and the second battery. 2 . The aircraft as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an electrical or electronic connection between the first battery and the second battery. 3 . The aircraft as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the management system is configured so as to distribute the energy between the first and second batteries on the way to a predefined destination depending on a distance to the destination. 4 . The aircraft as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aircraft has a fully electric drive. 5 . The aircraft as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aircraft comprises bent or bendable wings. 6 . The aircraft as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aircraft comprises a fast-charging battery system. 7 . The aircraft as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the means of transport comprises horizontally fixed ducted fans for take-off and landing. 8 . The aircraft as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the aircraft has louvers and the horizontal ducted fans are configured to be selectively covered by way of the louvers. 9 . The aircraft as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the means of transport comprises vertically fixed ducted fans for generating a propulsion. 10 . The aircraft as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aircraft is configured to be selectively controlled in a fully autonomous manner. 11 . The aircraft as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a propulsion means powered by the first battery.
