Distributed electric propulsion tilt rotor unmanned aerial vehicle

Abstract

The invention discloses a distributed electric propulsion tilt rotor unmanned aerial vehicle. According to the aircraft, a three-section fixed type wing overall layout is adopted; front wings and rearwings are arranged in two layers; the wings in the upper and lower layer are each provided with electric propulsion ducted fans; a middle wing is mainly used for generating lift force when fixed wings fly; the ducted fans serve as a power system, and thrust generated by the ducted fans is used for achieving the vertical take-off and landing, hovering and fixed wing patrolling of the aircraft; tilting mechanisms are arranged at the joints of the front wings, the rear wings and an aircraft body so as to achieve mutual switching between a vertical take-off & landing and hovering mode and a fixedwing patrolling mode. When the aircraft has the speed required for patrol flight, transition from the vertical take-off & landing and hovering mode to the fixed wing mode is completed. According to the distributed electric propulsion tilt rotor unmanned aerial vehicle of the invention, the distributed electric propulsion ducted fans are adopted as the aircraft power system, and therefore, the size and weight of the power system are reduced, the redundancy and reliability of the power system are improved; and a ducted fan rotating speed differential mode is adopted during fixed wing patrollingflight, so that control efficiency can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the general technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular relates to a distributed electric propulsion tilt-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle. Background technique [0002] Traditional unmanned aerial vehicles can be divided into two types: fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. When the fixed-wing aircraft is flying, the power system generates forward thrust, and the wings generate the required lift to offset its own gravity, and the flight time and range are relatively large; its take-off methods can be divided into hand throwing, ejection, sliding, etc., and landing and recovery can be achieved by hitting the net , parachuting, sliding and other methods. The take-off and landing conditions of fixed-wing aircraft are relatively high. A flat runway is required for taxi take-off or landing. A special ejection device is required for catapult take-off. Hand-throwing requires personnel with rich operating experience. ...
