More Information
Summary:The invention is related to a multirotor aircraft 1 with an airframe 2 that extends in a longitudinal direction 1a, and with at least one thrust producing unit 3d for producing thrust in a predetermined thrust direction, wherein the at least one thrust producing unit comprises a shrouding 6d that is associated with at least one rotor assembly comprising at least one electrical engine, wherein the shrouding defines a cylindrical air duct 20 that is axially delimited by an air inlet region and an air outlet region, and wherein a cantilever 17 is mounted at a leading edge region of the cylindrical air duct to the shrouding 6d such that the cantilever is arranged inside of the cylindrical air duct 20 and oriented at least essentially in parallel to the longitudinal direction 1a, the at least one electrical engine being mounted to the cantilever 17.
