Bionic undercarriage system for flapping wing air vehicle and takeoff and landing control method

Abstract

The invention provides a bionic undercarriage system for a flapping wing air vehicle and a takeoff and landing control method. The bionic undercarriage system comprises a visual navigation unit, a motion coordination processor, a gripper unit and a full-motion V-tail actuator mechanism, wherein the visual navigation unit comprises a left camera, a right camera and an image processor; the left camera and the right camera are symmetrically installed in front of the abdomen of the flapping wing air vehicle; the left camera and the right camera are connected to the image processor; and the motion coordination processor is installed in the fuselage of the flapping wing air vehicle and is respectively connected with the image processor, a left gripper steering engine, a right gripper steering engine and the actuator mechanism. The bionic undercarriage system has the advantages that after the bionic undercarriage system is installed, the flapping wing air vehicle has takeoff and landing capabilities like birds, the efficient maneuverability of the flapping wing air vehicle is improved, the application range of the flapping wing air vehicle is expanded, and the capabilities of the flapping wing air vehicle are enhanced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of flapping-wing aircraft design, and in particular relates to a bionic landing gear system and a landing control method applied to the flapping-wing aircraft. Background technique [0002] The flapping wing aircraft is a new concept aircraft that imitates the flight of birds. It has the advantages of small size, light weight, flexible use, and high efficiency. If it is equipped with sensors and related data transmission and flight control systems, it will form a miniature flapping wing UAV platform. , will have broad application prospects. [0003] Focusing on this subject, countries have developed controllable flapping-wing aircraft, among which more successful ones include: "Microbat" jointly developed by AeroVironment of the United States and the University of California, "Delfly" developed by Delft University in the Netherlands, and "Carrier Pigeon" developed by Northwestern Polytechnical University.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] It can be seen that the various types of flapping-wing aircraft that have been disclosed at present, due to the inefficient take-off and landing methods of hand-throwing take-off and hard landing of the body, fail to fully exert the high-efficiency maneuverability of the flapping-wing aircraft, which seriously restricts the application of the flapping-wing aircraft prospect
