Novel-configuration tilt rotor aircraft and flight control method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a novel-configuration tilt rotor aircraft and a flight control method thereof. According to the aircraft, a conventional vertical fin and horizontal fin are arranged at the tailof an aircraft body, and two sets of wings are arranged on the two sides of the middle of the aircraft body. Each wing comprises an inner-section wing and an outer-section wing which are connected through a folding mechanism, and a set of foldable rotors is arranged at the tail end of each outer-section wing; and the outer-section wings can simultaneously finish two actions of folding and rotating around the inner-section wings through the folding mechanisms. When the aircraft vertically takes off and lands, the obstruction of wings to the downwash flow of the rotor wings can be reduced; on the other hand, the body size and the projection area can be reduced. When the aircraft flies in the air, the wings are unfolded, the rotor wings are folded, resistance brought by the rotor wings during high-speed forward flight can be effectively reduced, and therefore the forward flight speed is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of aircraft, in particular to a new configuration tilt rotor aircraft and a flight control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Aviation technology and equipment play an important role in both the military and civilian fields. From a military point of view, the lack of air supremacy will expose the military equipment and personnel of the army and navy to enemy air strikes, making it difficult to organize effective attacks and defenses. From the perspective of civilian use, advanced civil aircraft can make people's travel more convenient, and with the emergence of drones, forest firefighting, agricultural plant protection, etc., the aviation field has become more and more important.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Among them, the wing size of traditional fixed-wing aircraft is large, the overall volume is large, and it takes up a lot of space when it is on the ground, and it is inconvenient to transport and carry.

and takeoff requires a runway of some distance

Although the rotorcraft can take off and land vertically, when the speed of the rotorcraft is too fast, the forward blades often generate shock waves, and the backward blades will stall, resulting in a limitation of the maximum forward flight speed

The tilt rotor aircraft is a new type of aircraft that combines the characteristics of fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. It has the advantages of fixed-wing high-speed cruise and helicopter vertical take-off and landing and hovering. The wing section will block part of the rotor downwash airflow, resulting in a decrease in the lift of the whole machine

Moreover, the airflow under the fixed wing is turbulent during the tilting process, especially the fuselage moment is difficult to balance during the tilting process, which makes it more difficult to control the attitude of the tiltrotor aircraft body
