Unmanned aerial vehicle with fixed wings, hybrid propulsion, and vertical takeoff

Abstract

The present utility model relates to a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle with hybrid propulsion and vertical takeoff, designed for monitoring, aerial photography, and real-time measurements, as well as for transporting specialized payloads, including in hard-to-reach areas. The aircraft comprises a fuselage (1) equipped with a fixed wing (2) and a canard-type forward horizontal tailplane (3). An internal combustion engine (4) is located at the rear of the fuselage (1), mechanically connected to an electric generator (5) and a propeller (6). A buffer battery (7) is mounted in the fuselage (1), which is electrically connected to the electric generator (5) and to four electric motors (8) equipped with lifting propellers (9). The electric motors (8) are mounted on longitudinal struts attached to the fixed wing (2). A control system (10) is communicatively connected to the internal combustion engine (4), the electric generator (5), the buffer rechargeable battery (7), the electric motors (8), and payloads and sensors (11).
