A rotorcraft having an enhanced configuration in which a simple wing and a propulsive anti-torque system are combined is disclosed. The propulsive anti-torque system includes an anti-torque thruster system in which a variable pitch fan is installed internal to the tail boom of the rotorcraft and an anti-torque thruster nozzle is mounted at the extremity of the tail boom. The fan is driven directly from the main rotor drive. The configuration and location of the fan allows the primary exhaust from the engine to be mixed with the compressed air flow from the fan. The mixed air flow from the fan and the engine passes through the tail boom and out the thruster nozzle.

The invention relates to an aircraft which can both take off and land vertically and can hover and also fly horizontally at a high cruising speed. The aircraft has a support structure, a wing structure, at least three and preferably at least four lifting rotors and at least one thrust drive. The wing structure is designed to generate a lifting force for the aircraft during horizontal motion. To achieve this the wing structure has at least one mainplane provided with a profile that generates dynamic lift. The wing structure is preferably designed as a tandem wing structure. Each of the lifting rotors is fixed to the support structure, has a propeller and is designed to generate a lifting force for the aircraft by means of a rotation of the propeller, said force acting in a vertical direction. The thrust drive is designed to generate a thrust force on the support structure, said force acting in a horizontal direction. The lifting rotors can have a simple construction, i.e. they can have a simple rigid propeller for example, and a vertical take-off or hovering of the aircraft can be controlled, in a similar manner to quadcopters, by a simple control of the speeds of the lifting rotors. High cruising speeds can be achieved as a result of the additional horizontally acting thrust drive.

The invention relates to an intelligent camera system and a method. The system comprises a control module and a camera module; the control module drives the camera module to cruise automatically so as to search a target; in the cruising process, the imaging resolution ratio of the camera module is lowered through driving; when the target is identified, the control module controls and adjusts the position of the camera module to adjust the imaging of the target in the camera module to the central part of an image; then, optical magnification is increased according to proper proportion, and the camera module is controlled to carry out automatic focusing for camera shooting. The intelligent camera system and the method adopt the control module to drive the camera module to cruise automatically, so as to search the target in a 360-DEG panoramic space; the imaging resolution ratio of the camera module is lowered through driving in the cruising process, which reduces the total pixel of the image to be processed, thereby improving the pattern recognition computing speed; when the target is identified, the control module controls and adjusts the position of the camera module to adjust the imaging of the target to the central part of the image, and then the camera module is controlled to carry out automatic focusing to form clear images.

The invention relates to an inclined rotating wing aircraft with telescopic wing membranes. The inclined rotating wing aircraft comprises an aircraft body, a center shaft, a main transmission mechanism, first to third power units, an outer side rod, a support rod, a main wing membrane, a flight controller, and first to third undercarriages. The inclined rotating wing aircraft disclosed by the invention is improved on the basis of the structure of the traditional four-wing aircraft, and an inclined rotating structure of an inclined rotating four-rotary wing aircraft and a wing membrane structure of a flapping wing aircraft are added. According to the inclined rotating wing aircraft, the structural state of the inclined rotating wing aircraft includes a ground sliding state, a four-rotary wing flying state and a high-altitude cruising state; when the inclined rotating wing aircraft is in a ground movement state, the undercarriages contact with the ground, the main wing membrane is open, and the forward movement, backward movement, left rotation movement, right rotation movement, climbing movement and downgrade movement of the aircraft are realized by regulating the speed of four rotary wings; the movement state of the aircraft on the ground is realized under the action of the undercarriages, and the movement state is impossible to realize by the inclined rotating four-rotary wing aircraft and the flapping wing aircraft; and the climbing movement and the downgrade movement can be realized without changing the state of the aircraft, so that the energy consumption is reduced, and the complexity of a control program is prevented.
