Abstract
A flight vehicle includes a rotor shaft projecting upward from a body; a rotor head connected to the rotor shaft; and a pair of plate structures located at the upper side of the body and extending in a front-rear direction at right and left sides of the rotor shaft. Each of the pair of plate structures includes a front end, a rear end, an inner surface facing inward in a left-right direction, and an outer surface facing outward in the left-right direction. The front ends of the pair of plate structures are located away from each other in the left-right direction. The rear ends of the pair of plate structures are located away from each other in the left-right direction. During forward flight, pressure at a side where the outer surface is located becomes lower than pressure at a side where the inner surface is located.
