[0036] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein below with reference to the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of systems consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0037] The prior art only studies the method of unmanned helicopter distributed electric tail rotor, and the method is incomplete, so the result is one-sided. For example, the patent with application number 202311211740.5 proposes a helicopter distributed electric tail rotor control system and control method. The distributed electric tail rotor control system mentioned in this patent calculates the angular rate error using actual yaw rate information and expected yaw rate information. According to the angular rate error, the current required to drive each motor-reducer of the distributed tail rotor to rotate is increased, thereby changing the speed of the motor-reducer and the speed of the tail rotor, so as to realize the rapid response of the tail rotor. In addition, the control method mentioned uses the motor driver to adjust the input current of the corresponding motor-reducer to adjust the speed of the tail rotor, reduce the helicopter yaw rate error, and realize the adjustment of the flight attitude of the helicopter. However, the motor is applied in the scene of helicopter which requires high speed response and precise control, and the dynamic response of the motor may become a limiting factor. The response speed and adjustment accuracy of the actual motor will affect the stability and robustness of the control system, so the method of adjusting the input current of the motor-reducer to adjust the speed of the tail rotor according to the angular rate error mentioned in this patent is too ideal and lacks practicality. At the same time, the patent mentions adjusting the current to optimize energy efficiency, but in fact, how to achieve efficient use of energy without sacrificing system performance to improve the endurance of the helicopter is not described. For example, the patent with application number 202311507228.5 proposes a helicopter distributed electric tail rotor fault-tolerant control method, which realizes fault-tolerant control without relying on fault observers, designs a fault-tolerant control optimization method based on backstepping control algorithm, and proves the stability of the system through Lyapunov theory. However, in actual application, the dynamic response of the system and the complexity of the actual environment may affect the control effect. Especially, the helicopter is often used in extreme conditions or unmeasurable environmental change scenarios, and the stability and practicability of the control algorithm may need to be further verified and optimized.

[0058] The direct current stabilized power supply module 19 is responsible for providing a stable power output for the distributed electric tail rotor device, and ensures that all modules are safely operated under an ideal voltage.
