Description

Technical Field

[0002] The cross-media aircraft is used in the working condition of air-water multiplexing, and has the advantages of vertical take-off and landing of an aerial vehicle and high concealment of an underwater submersible, etc., and has become a research hotspot. The rotor is a key component of the aircraft, providing lift and thrust for the aircraft. However, when the cross-media aircraft takes off and lands on the water surface, water splashes or water columns will be splashed. When the high-speed rotating blade, especially near the blade tip (linear velocity is large, ≥200 m / s), encounters the water column, great impact damage will be generated, and the internal structure of the blade needs to be strengthened and protected. The conventional structural strengthening is to bond an iron plate or a polyurethane protection belt at the leading edge, but the iron plate or the polyurethane protection belt is easy to debond in a water immersion environment and is not suitable for cross-domain aircraft. Moreover, there is no structure for strengthening along the chord length direction inside the conventional blade, and the structural strength in the chord length direction is weak.

[0009] Furthermore, the outermost layer of the skin 2 is high-strength HS6 woven glass cloth to enhance the impact damage tolerance capability.

[0010] Furthermore, the span-wise load-bearing beam 3 is made of HS6 high-strength glass fiber prepreg tape, which is laid along the span direction of the blade to improve the tensile stiffness of the blade.
