However, due to task attributes and structural design, several current representative cruise vehicles only focus on one aspect of characteristics and cannot meet the multi-task attribute usage scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a multi-functional cruise vehicle that can have good aerodynamic characteristics matching the task attributes in different flight stages and is applicable to various combat environments and application scenarios.

[0026] As Figure 1-2 shown, the designed outer shape of a multi-functional cruise vehicle of the present invention is divided into two structural states according to different flight missions. As Figure 3 shown, in the cruise state, the cruise wing 9, the tail wing 6 and the rudder surface 7 are fully deployed. A pair of cruise wings 9 are distributed on both sides of the cruise vehicle in a "one-word" shape. The tail wing 6 and the rudder surface 7 are circumferentially evenly distributed in the form of "X" in the tail cabin 5 of the projectile body. The flight power is provided by the tail propeller 8. This state has a high drag-lift ratio and static stability, and can meet the mission requirements of long endurance and long range. By carrying different tactical modules, it can perform tasks such as firepower reconnaissance, air defense early warning, signal relay, and camouflage tactical targets. As Figure 4 shown, in the attack state, the two-sided cruise wings 9 are cut off by the root detonating lock or other explosive devices, and the projectile body, the tail wing 6 and the rudder surface 7 form a tailless aerodynamic shape. At this time, it has the characteristics of low resistance and large normal overload, so that the attack end has high maneuverability and flexibility, and can perform ground precision guided attack or "suicide" bomb mission.

[0027] The above-mentioned projectile body is a spin body, mainly including a front cabin 3 and a tail cabin 5. The length of the front cabin 3 is 1300 - 1400 mm, the diameter is 380 - 420 mm, the length of the tail cabin 5 is 1100 - 1200 mm, the diameter is 230 - 250 mm, and the front cabin 3 and the tail cabin 5 are transitioned through a smooth inclined plane.

[0028] The head bus of the front cabin is formed by the tangential transition combination of two curves to form the head of the arc section 1 and the head of the power exponent curve 2: The main part of the bus is a power exponent curve with an axial length of 380 - 420 mm and a maximum radius of 120 - 130 mm. To ensure head drag reduction and a large space, a section of arc with a radius of 70 - 80 mm is added at the front end of the power exponent curve to be tangent to it for transition, ensuring the smooth connection of the head bus. The above-mentioned power exponent curve equation is:

[0029]

[0030] In the formula, L represents the total length of the power exponential curve, D represents the projectile diameter, n represents the exponent, the X value represents the horizontal coordinate point of the power exponential curve, the Y value represents the vertical coordinate point of the power exponential curve, and the final series of (X, Y) coordinate points are the values of the power exponential curve in the two-dimensional coordinate axis.

[0031] In the present invention, according to the optimal drag reduction design of the loitering munition, the length-to-diameter ratio of its head is 1:(1.6 - 1.8), the value range of D is 230 - 250 mm, the value range of L is D*(1.6 - 1.8)=380 - 420 mm, the value range of n is 2.3 - 2.6. After determining the front part size of the power exponential curve, the head arc diameter is 70 - 80 mm, the length is 40 - 50 mm, and finally the curve profile of the loitering device is determined.

[0032] Compared with the commonly used arc head and "arc + conic line" head schemes, the present invention has lower zero-lift drag at the typical cruising state altitude of 1 Km, speed of 0.3 Ma, and rudder deflection angle 、angle of attack when the sizes are the same, and the comparison is as Figure 6 shown.

[0033] The zero-lift drag can be divided into two parts: frictional drag and pressure drag. When the loitering device is flying at a low speed, the drag is related to the viscosity of the air and the flow of the boundary layer, that is, the frictional drag accounts for the main proportion. The zero-lift drag is related to the relative thickness , and its calculation formula is as follows:

[0034]

[0035] In the formula, D is the zero-lift drag, is the air density, V is the flight speed, S is the characteristic area, is the zero-lift drag coefficient.

[0036] The above-mentioned front cabin 3 is provided with a wing box 4. The wing box 4 adopts the upper single-wing installation method. The front part and both sides of the wing box 4 are transitioned with the shell of the front cabin 3 through a streamline surface. Considering the shell strength and stress concentration in the actual assembly process, the rear part extends to the end of the front cabin 3 without interfering with the transition section between the front cabin 3 and the tail cabin 5. The inside of the wing box 4 provides sufficient space for the folding and assembly mechanism of the loitering wing 9.

[0037] As Figure 7 shown, the loitering wing 9 of the present invention adopts an asymmetric convex airfoil, which has a high lift-to-drag ratio. Due to the size limitation after the loitering wing 9 is folded, through the calculation of the projectile diameter and projectile length dimensions, the maximum dimension of its span is 2900 mm, and the maximum dimension of the chord length is 200 mm. At the same time, in order to meet the lift requirement, the designed dimensions of the loitering wing 9 are determined to be a span of 2750 - 2850 mm and a chord length of 160 - 170 mm.

[0038] The design dimensions of the loitering wing 9 refer to Figure 7 As shown, the thickness c is 11.5 - 13 mm, the position of the maximum thickness Xc is 36 - 39 mm, the camber f is 9.6 - 10.4 mm, the position of the maximum camber Xf is 59 - 64 mm, the leading edge radius is 2.3 - 2.9 mm, the trailing edge angle is 28.6° - 31.4°. In the typical cruise state, the lift-drag ratio is increased by 30.3% compared with the flat wing and symmetric airfoil of the same size. The comparison of its lift and lift-drag ratio is as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the comparison of the balanced normal overload in the attack section is as Figure 10 shown.

[0039] When the loitering aircraft is flying, the air flows through the upper and lower surfaces of the wing. Since the loitering wing 9 is an airfoil with camber, the air flow velocities through the upper and lower wing surfaces are different, generating a pressure difference on the upper and lower surfaces of the wing. The force that lifts the wing upward is the lift, and its calculation formula is as follows:

[0040]

[0041] In the formula, L is the lift, Lift coefficient.

[0042] Each component of the loitering aircraft will generate lift and drag. To better describe the relationship between the lift and drag of the aircraft, the lift-drag ratio is generally used for description. The lift-drag ratio formula is as follows:

[0043]

[0044] Normal overload refers to the resultant force of all forces acting on the aircraft except gravity. The force perpendicular to the velocity direction is called normal overload. The greater the normal overload, the greater the normal acceleration that the aircraft can generate. At the same speed, the greater the ability of the aircraft to change its flight direction, that is, the aircraft can perform a more curved ballistic flight.

[0045] The above-mentioned tail fin 6 adopts a right-angled trapezoidal wing surface with a flat airfoil type, and is circumferentially distributed around the outside of the tail compartment 5 in an "X" shape. The chord length of the upper bottom surface is 610 - 620 mm, the chord length of the lower bottom surface is 745 - 755 mm, the span of the tail fin 6 is 420 - 430 mm, and the thickness is 4 - 6 mm. Chamfering and drag reduction treatments are carried out at the leading edge and the upper bottom surface of the tail fin 6. The four tail fins 6 provide 31.6% and 43.5% of the total missile lift respectively in the loitering section and the attack section.

[0046] The above-mentioned control surface 7 adopts a rectangular shape with a flat airfoil type, and is also circumferentially distributed around the outside of the tail compartment 5 in an "X" shape. The chord length of the control surface 7 is 210 - 220 mm. The thickness and span of the control surface 7 are the same as those of the tail fin 6, and only chamfering and drag reduction treatment are carried out at the top.

[0047] Based on the above technical solutions, the technical advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0048] 1. Multi-task attribute design

[0049] The present invention belongs to the design of medium-sized cruise vehicles. The overall design mass of the whole missile is about (150-200) kg, and it has a modular inner cabin. By carrying different mission modules such as power batteries, reconnaissance equipment, relay navigation, and high-explosive warheads, it can complete single or combined tasks such as intelligence reconnaissance, firepower guidance, signal relay, and "suicide" bomb attacks.

[0050] 2. Large lift surface design

[0051] In the present invention, multiple groups of lift surfaces are adopted, including two cruise wings 9, four tail fins 6, and four control surfaces 7. Among them, the cruise wings 9 adopt an asymmetric convex airfoil with a large aspect ratio, which has an extremely high lift-drag ratio at typical cruise speeds. The four "X-shaped" arranged tail fins 6 ensure the flight stability of the missile body during the cruise phase while providing a large lift. The design of the rectangular control surface 7 ensures the efficiency of the servo and guarantees sufficient overload capacity during maneuvers.

[0052] 3. Multiple drag reduction designs

[0053] In the present invention, multiple drag reduction designs are adopted, including the "arc + power exponent" curve design at the head, the streamlined drag reduction design of the wing box 4, the smooth transition section design of the front cabin 3 and the tail cabin 5, and the chamfer design of the tail fin surface 6 and the control surface 7. By reducing the drag coefficient, the overall lift-drag ratio of the cruise vehicle is improved.

[0054] 4. Long endurance and long range design

[0055] Through the drag reduction and large lift design, the present invention increases the hovering time of the cruise vehicle by 43% compared with the same type, has a longer range, reduces the single-use cost, and improves the mission cost-effectiveness ratio of combat.
