[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiment of the present application more clear, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings, but the described embodiments of the present application are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0019] The embodiment of the present application provides a landing and forced landing method of a non-full-coated manned aircraft, which is realized by controlling the wearable airbag vest connected to the aircraft, the supporting mechanical foot assembly and the parachute bag as shown in the drawings. Figure 1

[0020] Wherein, the front, back and side of the wearable airbag vest are provided with trigger airbags, the airbags are inflated by inflators after trigger switches, and the inflators can be installed on the aircraft or the back side of the vest and connected with the airbags through air tubes.

[0021] The supporting mechanical foot assembly is uniformly distributed with multiple groups around the aircraft, for example, four groups as shown in the drawings, and the state shown is a folded state. Figure 1 When landing and forced landing, the supporting mechanical foot assembly is unfolded according to the guidance of the aircraft control system, and the supporting mechanical foot assembly contacts the landing point to form support before the aircraft and the pilot, as shown in the drawings. Figure 3

[0022] As shown in the drawings, the landing and forced landing method of the present embodiment includes the following steps: Figure 2

[0023] S100, the aircraft is in a default auxiliary landing flow maintaining state. In the auxiliary landing flow, the supporting mechanical foot assembly is unfolded for auxiliary landing when the flight height is lower than a first preset threshold value, which is guided by the control system of the aircraft.

[0024] S200, the control system jumps out of the auxiliary landing flow when receiving a forced landing trigger signal, triggers a forced landing flow, and records the current trigger time t0 (unit: second) and the current flight height H0 (unit: meter). The forced landing trigger signal includes an external signal or a confirmed input signal.

[0025] Wherein, the external signal is a hard trigger, which is obtained by converting a mechanical signal triggered manually by the pilot into an electrical signal. The confirmed input signal is a soft trigger, which is derived from the aircraft control system, including at least one of the following: a forced landing request signal sent to the pilot by the control system in a man-machine interactive manner and agreed by the pilot according to the aircraft state, or a forced landing request signal sent to the ground station by the control system in a remote control and telemetry manner and agreed by the ground station according to the aircraft state, or a forced landing request signal continuously initiated by the control system to the pilot / ground station within a preset information interaction period and not cancelled by the pilot / ground station.

[0026] Specifically, the aircraft state includes a health state and a flight state, the health state includes a power state, a tank state, an oil circuit state, etc., and the flight state includes a pitch state, an angular velocity state, a falling state, etc.; the control system sends a forced landing request signal when at least one state in the health state and / or at least one state in the flight state is abnormal.

[0027] ​​​S300, after entering the triggered forced landing flow, the control system determines the height in each communication cycle, and according to the current flight environment of the aircraft:

[0028] When in low-altitude or ultra-low-altitude flight conditions, such as in urban environments with dense buildings, power grids, and towers, when it is determined that the flight height is higher than the second preset threshold Ht (unit: meters), S401 is executed, otherwise the control system triggers the opening of the airbags of the wearable airbag vest and guides the expansion of the support mechanical foot assembly.

[0029] When in a parachute-dominant flight condition, such as when the flight environment is suitable for landing with a parachute as the guide, when it is determined that the flight height is higher than the preset parachute opening height H1 (unit: meters), the height determination of the next cycle is continued, otherwise the parachute bag is guided to open, and S402 is executed.

[0030] S401, the control system determines that the flight height is lower than or equal to H1 for the first time or reaches a predetermined time interval from t0, and guides the opening of the parachute bag; the predetermined time interval is preset according to H0 and H1, and the value is , unit: seconds. This formula is a simplified equation for solving height and rounding coefficients, and the formula only retains one preset parameter H1 and one variable H0, which can reduce the calculation amount and improve the reliability of the timer.

[0031] S402, the control system determines that the flight height is lower than H1, and further determines whether the flight height is higher than Ht, if higher than Ht, continue to determine the relationship with Ht in the next cycle, if lower than or equal to Ht, the control system triggers the opening of each airbag of the wearable airbag vest, and guides the expansion of the support mechanical foot assembly.

[0032] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not mean the only or limit the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that various changes or equivalent replacements made to the present application without departing from the scope of the present application, all belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
