Bionic landing gear system and landing control method applied to flapping wing aircraft

Abstract

The invention provides a bionic landing gear system and a landing control method applied to a flapping-wing aircraft. The bionic landing gear system includes: a visual navigation unit, a motion coordination processor, a mechanical claw unit and a full-motion V-tail actuating mechanism; the visual The navigation unit includes a left camera, a right camera and an image processor; the left camera and the right camera are installed symmetrically in front of the abdomen of the flapping wing aircraft; the left camera and the right camera are all connected to the image processor; The motion coordination processor is installed inside the body of the flapping-wing aircraft, and is respectively connected with the image processor, the left mechanical claw steering gear, the right mechanical claw steering gear and the actuator mechanism. The advantages are: after the bionic landing gear system is installed, the flapping-wing aircraft can have the take-off and landing capability like a bird, which improves the high-efficiency maneuverability of the flapping-wing aircraft and expands its application range and capability.

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 the more successful ones include: "Microbat" jointly developed by Aero Vironment of the United States and the University of California, "Delfly" developed by Delft University in the Netherlands, and "Delfly" developed by Northwestern Polytechnical University. "hom...

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
