AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The control system of existing micro-flapping rotor vehicles is complex in design, with problems of greater resistance and susceptibility to crosswind, and has low control efficiency when changes in the atmospheric environment.

Method used

The centroid control system is adopted to achieve flexible adjustment of the centroid of the aircraft through counterweight sliders and slider drive components. Combined with the flutter rotor structure, no anti-torque mechanism is required to achieve multi-directional flight and air hovering.

Benefits of technology

The aircraft structure is simplified, weight and drag are reduced, maneuverability and flexibility are improved, adaptability to the atmospheric environment, and control efficiency is high.
