[0055] The high-speed single-body aircraft has five flight modes, namely vertical take-off, vertical-horizontal conversion flight, horizontal flight, horizontal-vertical conversion flight, and vertical landing.
[0056] In vertical take-off and landing mode, the high-speed monomer aircraft balances gravity with propeller thrust, the propeller is driven by motor, adjusting the motor speed can change the propeller thrust, to realize the vertical motion adjustment of the aircraft. Four groups of independently deflectable rudders 7 on the tail 6 are in the propeller 8 wake, deflecting the rudders 7 generates control force and moment relative to the center of gravity of the aircraft to realize the yaw, roll, pitch control of the aircraft.
[0057] The rudders 7 include four groups of rudders, arranged in clockwise order as 7-1, 7-2, 7-3 and 7-4.

[0067] In vertical-horizontal conversion flight, the aircraft first vertically accelerates and climbs, and then the rudder surface 7 on the tail 6 is controlled to gradually change the aircraft attitude angle from vertical to horizontal. The gravity is originally balanced by the propeller 8 thrust, and gradually transitions to be balanced by the lift on the wing 4. The propeller 8 thrust is gradually used to balance the forward flight resistance of the aircraft, and the roll moment effect of the aileron 5 on the wing 4 gradually increases with the increase of the forward flight speed.
[0068] In horizontal-vertical conversion flight, the aircraft first accelerates, and then the rudder surface 7 on the tail 6 is controlled to gradually change the aircraft attitude angle from horizontal to vertical.

[0069] The embodiment of the present application also provides a low-speed single aircraft, such as Figure 3 As shown, the high-speed single aircraft is converted into the low-speed single aircraft by removing the wings 4 on both sides.
[0070] The low-speed single aircraft balances the gravity of the aircraft by the propeller 8 in the duct 3. The wake generated by the propeller 8 acts on the rudder surface 7 on the tail 6. The deflection of the rudder surface 7 can generate control force and moment relative to the center of gravity of the aircraft, so as to realize the pitch, roll and yaw control of the low-speed single aircraft, and realize the forward and backward movement, left and right movement and turning of the aircraft.

Similarly, the four groups of rudder surfaces are deflected upward at the same time to generate downward resultant force, and relative to the center of gravity to generate pitch moment of raising head, so as to realize the backward movement of the low-speed single aircraft.

[0074] The wing tips of multiple high-speed single-body aircrafts are connected to convert into a parallel multi-body combined unmanned aircraft with a large aspect ratio wing.
[0075] The embodiment of the application also provides a hybrid combined unmanned aircraft, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the high-speed single-body aircraft is used to realize that a quick connecting device is arranged on the wing tip of each high-speed single-body aircraft, the combined unmanned aircraft is:
[0076] Four high-speed single-body aircrafts are combined into a hybrid multi-body combined aircraft with a rectangular structure, and are sequentially clockwise recorded as aircraft one, aircraft two, aircraft three and aircraft four, the wing tips of the aircraft one and the aircraft two are connected to each other, the wing tips of the aircraft three and the aircraft four are connected to each other, the joints of the aircraft two and the aircraft three are connected to each other, the joints of the aircraft one and the aircraft four are connected to each other, and a load cabin is arranged in the middle space between the four high-speed single-body aircrafts.
[0077] The application provides a combined unmanned aircraft scheme which can meet the use requirements of high speed and low speed and can be combined into a multi-body. Figure 1 The combined aircraft includes multiple configurations: a high-speed single-body aircraft ( Figure 3 ), a low-speed single-body aircraft ( Figure 4 ), a parallel multi-body combined aircraft ( Figure 5 ) and a hybrid multi-body combined aircraft.
[0078] The high-speed single-body aircraft ( Figure 1 ) has the vertical take-off, hovering and low-speed forward flight capability, reduces the dependence on the take-off site and take-off equipment, and can perform high-speed and long-distance flight in a horizontal flight mode.
[0079] The high-speed single-body aircraft ( Figure 1 ) can be converted into a low-speed single-body aircraft ( Figure 3 ) by removing the wings on both sides. The low-speed single-body aircraft has excellent vertical take-off, hovering and low-speed flight capability, and has a more compact structure and is safer to use, and can be quickly deployed and put into use.
[0080] The wing tips of multiple high-speed single-body aircrafts are connected to convert into a parallel multi-body combined aircraft with a large aspect ratio wing. Figure 4Parallel multi-body combined aircraft increases the wing aspect ratio, which can effectively improve the cruise lift-drag ratio and endurance of the whole machine. The aileron on the center wing of the parallel multi-body combined aircraft can be used as a flap during flight, which can improve the maximum lift coefficient of the aircraft and improve the low-speed flight capability of the aircraft. Parallel multi-body combined aircraft can realize multiple function combinations, clearly distinguish the functions of each single aircraft, and form a highly collaborative mechanism with low cost. For example, combining dedicated energy supply aircraft, attack unmanned aerial vehicles, and communication relay unmanned aerial vehicles together can not only ensure long endurance and air tasks, but also expand the use functions.
[0081] High-speed single-body aircraft can also be combined into a 4-machine combination to convert into a hybrid multi-body combined aircraft Figure 5 ), which installs a load cabin in the middle space between the aircraft for performing material transportation tasks. Hybrid multi-body combined aircraft has vertical take-off and high-speed forward flight capability, and concentrates the load capacity of the multi-body to improve the load capacity of the whole machine. Hybrid multi-body combined aircraft has 4 propellers, and can also provide pitch, roll, and yaw moments by differentiating the rotation speed of the 4 propellers to improve the control performance of the aircraft.
[0082] The quick connection device can be achieved through a hinged connection structure.
[0083] The high-speed single-body aircraft is mainly composed of a front fuselage 1, a support 2, a duct body 3, a wing 4, an aileron 5, a tail 6, a rudder surface 7, a propeller 8, an electric motor 9, a guide vane 10, and a rear fuselage 11.
[0084] The high-speed single-body aircraft is powered by one electric motor 9, which directly drives the propeller 8 in the duct 3 to generate thrust. Eight guide vanes 10 are installed at the outlet of the bottom of the duct, and the propeller 8 tail flow acts on the guide vanes with a certain installation angle to generate a moment that balances the counter-torque of the propeller. At the same time, the duct body 3 and the rear fuselage 11 are fixedly connected through the guide vanes.
[0085] The high-speed single-body aircraft has five flight modes: vertical take-off, vertical-horizontal conversion flight, horizontal flight, horizontal-vertical conversion flight, and vertical landing, as shown in Figure 6 .
[0086] During vertical take-off and vertical landing, the high-speed single-body aircraft balances gravity with propeller thrust, and four independently deflectable rudder surfaces 7 are located in the propeller 8 tail flow on the tail 6. Deflecting the rudder surface 7 can generate control force and moment relative to the center of gravity of the aircraft to achieve aircraft yaw, roll, and pitch control.
[0087] In horizontal flight, the high-speed monomer aircraft is balanced by the wing 4 lift force to balance the gravity, the propeller 8 thrust to balance the forward flight resistance, the aileron 5 on the wing 4 provides roll control moment, and the four groups of independently deflectable rudders 7 on the tail 6 provide pitch and yaw control moments.
[0088] In vertical-horizontal conversion flight and horizontal-vertical conversion flight, the propeller 8 thrust and the wing 6 lift force jointly balance the gravity, and the rudders 7 on the tail and the aileron 5 on the wing 4 jointly provide control moments.
[0089] The high-speed monomer aircraft can be converted into a low-speed monomer aircraft by removing the wings on both sides.
[0090] In vertical-horizontal conversion flight, the aircraft first performs vertical acceleration climb, and then the rudders 7 on the tail 6 of the aircraft are manipulated to gradually change the attitude angle of the aircraft from vertical to horizontal. The gravity is originally balanced by the propeller 8 thrust, and gradually transitions to being balanced by the lift on the wing 4. The propeller 8 thrust is gradually used to balance the forward flight resistance of the aircraft, and the roll moment effect generated by the aileron 5 on the wing 4 gradually increases as the forward flight speed increases.
[0091] In horizontal-vertical conversion flight, the aircraft first accelerates, and then the rudders 7 on the tail 6 of the aircraft are manipulated to gradually change the attitude angle of the aircraft from horizontal to vertical. The gravity is originally balanced by the lift on the wing 4, and gradually transitions to being balanced by the propeller 8 thrust. The roll moment effect generated by the aileron 5 on the wing 4 gradually decreases as the forward flight speed decreases, and gradually provides pitch, roll, and yaw control moments by the rudders on the tail 6.
[0092] The wing tips of multiple high-speed monomer aircrafts are connected to convert into a parallel multi-body combined type with a large aspect ratio wing.
[0093] Four high-speed monomer aircrafts are combined to convert into a hybrid multi-body combined type aircraft, and a load cabin is installed in the middle space between the aircrafts.
[0094] The combined aircraft realizes "one machine with multiple types" through modularization, can meet the use requirements of low speed / high speed and short range / long range, and through multi-body combination, the advantages of single machines can be complementary to form overall gain, and stronger use convenience and deployment flexibility than existing unmanned aerial vehicle equipment can be obtained. In addition, the modular design of the combined aircraft can greatly reduce production costs and realize rapid iterative development of equipment families.
