Problems solved by technology

[0004] Existing drones mainly use a simple box-shaped fuselage and a conventional hexahedron-shaped fuel tank, which has high flight resistance, low utilization of internal space, small amount of fuel, and short flight time.
And most of them are tailor-made according to specific task loads, and the versatility of task load loading is not strong; it is not very convenient to carry out loading tests on loads that have not been formally finalized, and sometimes even the body structure needs to be modified

example 1

[0041] Example 1, long-endurance mission flight

[0042] The whole machine adopts wing-body fusion and "V"-shaped tail design and pull-in power plant, which has small resistance and high lift. Due to the installation of the embedded fuel tank that adopts the alternate fuel supply type, after the UAV takes off, the sequence of left rear fuel tank-right front fuel tank-right rear fuel tank-left front fuel tank is used to supply fuel to the engine in turn. During the process of fuel consumption, the whole machine The longitudinal change of the center of gravity is small, and due to the large volume of the fuel tank, a longer flight can be achieved.

example 2

[0043] Example 2, rapid replacement of airborne equipment in routine tasks

[0044] Due to the low cost of the modular design of the airborne equipment base plate, multiple base plates can be manufactured, and various required airborne equipment can be installed on the base plate before the field test. During the field flight test, the bottom plate screws can be removed, and the “airborne equipment-bottom plate” module can be replaced to quickly change the configuration of the drone’s airborne equipment.

[0045] Beneficial effect

[0046] The advantages of the present invention are:

[0047]1) The small UAV adopts the layout type of wing-body fusion, single tail brace, V-shaped tail and pull-in power, which has excellent aerodynamic characteristics, especially the design of wing-body fusion increases the lift of the whole aircraft, Reduce wing-body interference resistance;

[0048] 2) Embedded fuel tank design is adopted to make full use of the internal space of the fusela...

Abstract

The invention provides a V-shaped tail layout unmanned plane with an oil tank embedded into a blended wing body, which can be used for executing flight missions on scientific research experiment, remote sensing, aerial photography and the like. The unmanned plane has the following characteristics that 1, the flight duration is longer and the implementation of the flight commission with higher requirement on flight time is facilitated; 2, the use is simple and the control is facilitated; 3, the stability is better and the unmanned plane is applicable for carrying equipment such as an autopilot, an aerial camera and a vidicon; and 4, the take-off and landing conditions are lowly required. The small unmanned plane according to one aspect of the invention comprises a plane body (1), wings (3), a tail wing (7), a left front oil tank (16), a left rear oil tank (15), a right front oil tank (13) and a right rear oil tank (14), wherein the wings (3) are connected onto the plane body (1); and the left front oil tank (16), the left rear oil tank (15), the right front oil tank (13) and the right rear oil tank (14) are arranged ahead of the left, behind the left, ahead of the right and behind the right in the plane body (1) respectively. According to a further aspect, the left front oil tank, the right front oil tank, the left rear oil tank and the right rear oil tank are in a shape matched with the wing type of the plane body, and have a balanced oil consumption sequence.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of Chinese patent application No. 201010125833.2. technical field [0002] The invention relates to the design of a small multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicle with a fuel tank embedded in a wing-body fusion body, which belongs to the field of structural design of aviation aircraft, in particular to the structural design of a small unmanned aerial vehicle that requires a relatively long endurance time. Background technique [0003] The cost of UAV is relatively low, it can avoid the casualties of drivers, and it can perform many tasks that man-machines cannot perform. It has broad application prospects. [0004] Existing UAVs mainly use a simple box-shaped fuselage and a conventional hexahedron-shaped fuel tank, which has high flight resistance, low utilization rate of internal space, small amount of fuel carried, and short voyage time. And most of them are tailor-made according to specific task loads, and the versatility o...
