Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, during the entire flight process from preparing to take off to landing on the ground, the vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAV can only rely on external operation instructions to switch the flight state. Therefore, the entire operation process is cumbersome and the operation experience is not friendly; and because Unexpected situations will inevitably occur during the flight mission, and the vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAV cannot take corresponding measures autonomously to avoid the risk of crash

Embodiment 1

[0050] See figure 2 , is a flow chart of an embodiment of the flight control method of the unmanned aerial vehicle of the present invention, and the method can be applied to a vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising the following steps:

[0051] Step 201: The vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAV takes off in multi-rotor mode based on the user's one-key start control.

[0052] In one embodiment, before the user controls the vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAV to take off, he can first set some flight parameters for the vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAV, such as speed, altitude, flight route, etc., and can also Do the necessary inspection work, such as checking whether the power is normal, checking whether the sensors are normal, checking whether the anemometer is normal, etc. After everything is ready, the user can operate through external devices, such as remote control, to control the vertical hoist. The fixed...

Embodiment 2

[0072] See image 3 , is a flow chart of an embodiment of the flight control method of another unmanned aerial vehicle of the present invention, the method can be applied to a vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising the following steps:

[0073] Step 301: During the flight process of the vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAV in fixed-wing mode, when it detects that its own flight status information meets the set rescue conditions, automatically switch the flight mode from fixed-wing mode to multi-rotor mode.

[0074] In one embodiment, the vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAV can monitor its own flight status information in real time during the flight mission in fixed-wing mode. The flight status information mentioned here can include attitude angle and flight altitude.

[0075] Correspondingly, in an embodiment, setting rescue conditions may include at least one of the following: the attitude angle of the vertical take-off a...

Abstract

A flight control method for a drone, a drone, and a machine readable storage medium, the method comprising: controlling a vertical takeoff and landing fixed-wing drone to take off in a multi-rotor mode based on a one-key activation of a user, and automatically controlling the vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing drone to switch the flight mode from the multi-rotor mode to the fixed-wing mode and to fly in the fixed-wing mode after the vertical takeoff and landing fixed-wing drone flies to the designated altitude,; and, when the set landing condition is met, the vertical takeoff and landingfixed-wing drone automatically switches the flight mode from the fixed-wing mode back to the multi-rotor mode and drops to the designated position in the multi-rotor mode. It can realize that after asingle operation control of the vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing drone take-off, the vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing drone can complete the flight task autonomously and return to thedesignated position autonomously, so that the whole flight process is completed in one go, thus improving the user experience. At the same time, it can also reduce the occupation of the drone batterylife by manual operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of drones, and in particular to a flight control method of drones, drones and machine-readable storage media. Background technique [0002] The vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAV is in the multi-rotor flight state when it takes off, and it is in the fixed-wing flight state during the flight mission. When the flight mission is completed, the vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAV is in the Landing in multi-rotor flight state, it can be seen that vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAV combines the advantages of multi-rotor aircraft and fixed-wing aircraft, and can be used to perform flights with longer range, longer flight time, and more lifting requirements At the same time, the operator of the vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAV must have rich experience in the operation of multi-rotor aircraft and fixed-wing aircraft. [0003] However, during the entire flight proce...
