Using this method, the aerodynamic layout design process for UAVs can be simplified, and the efficiency of UAV aerodynamic layout design can be improved. The UAV engine information may include the UAV model.

[0055] In another embodiment of this application, the UAV design input information includes purpose, flight time, range, flight speed, flight altitude, etc., and the overall UAV design parameters include maximum takeoff weight, fuel weight, lift coefficient required for cruise, etc.

[0056] In another embodiment of this application, reference is made to... Figure 2 As shown, constructing a straight section of the semi-molded fuselage based on the UAV's size parameters includes: generating a semi-molded fuselage cross-sectional configuration based on the UAV's size parameters and the initial coordinates of the fuselage, wherein the bottom and sides of the cross-section of the semi-molded fuselage cross-section are straight lines, the top of the cross-section is a spline curve, and the bottom and sides of the cross-section have rounded corners; expanding the semi-molded fuselage cross-sectional configuration to construct a straight section 10 of the semi-molded fuselage. Using the above method, expanding the semi-molded fuselage cross-sectional configuration can be achieved by stretching along the axial direction of the fuselage, thereby constructing the straight section 10 of the semi-molded fuselage.

[0057] In another embodiment of this application, reference is made to... Figure 3 As shown, based on the straight section 10 of the semi-molded fuselage, the construction of the rear body of the semi-molded fuselage includes determining the distance between the rear end face of the straight section 10 of the semi-molded fuselage and the rear body of the semi-molded fuselage, and constructing the cross-sectional shape of the rear body of the semi-molded fuselage as a semi-circle; generating a first homogeneous curve to smoothly transition the rear end face of the straight section 10 of the semi-molded fuselage and the semi-circular cross-section of the rear body of the semi-molded fuselage; and generating a multi-section curved surface of the rear body of the semi-molded fuselage based on the first homogeneous curve as a guide.

[0058] In another embodiment of this application, reference is made to... Figure 4 As shown, constructing the semi-molded fuselage precursor includes: determining the distance between the front end face of the straight section 10 of the semi-molded fuselage and the vertex of the semi-molded fuselage precursor, the position coordinates of the vertex of the semi-molded fuselage precursor, generating a second spline curve for a smooth transition from the vertex of the semi-molded fuselage precursor to the front end face of the straight section 10 of the semi-molded fuselage, and generating a multi-section surface of the semi-molded fuselage precursor based on the second spline curve as a guide.

[0059] In another embodiment of this application, reference is made to... Figures 5-7As shown, the process involves determining the wing planar shape, constructing a semi-model wing based on the semi-model fuselage, and mirror-symmetrically representing the semi-model fuselage and semi-model wing to generate a full-model fuselage wing. This includes determining the wing position coordinates, wing half-span length, root chord length, and wingtip chord length to generate a semi-model wing plane 20. Based on the UAV flight requirements, a reference airfoil is determined. According to the wing functional parameters, the reference airfoil is imported and dynamically adjusted, configuring the root and wingtip airfoils to generate the upper and lower surfaces of the semi-model wing. The wing is rotated according to a first pivot axis to construct an anhedral angle, and the semi-model fuselage and semi-model wing are mirror-symmetrically represented to generate a full-model fuselage wing. Using this approach, the connection point between the semi-model wing and the semi-model fuselage can be the first pivot axis. UAV flight requirements can include flight speed requirements, and wing functional parameters can include root or wingtip position, chord length, and twist angle. Importing and dynamically adjusting the reference airfoil can include translating, scaling, and rotating the imported airfoil, improving wing design efficiency and accuracy.

[0060] In another embodiment of this application, reference is made to... Figures 8-10 As shown, constructing the tail fin includes determining the UAV's tail fin layout as a cross tail fin, configuring the airfoil of the tail fin tip and wing root, and generating a tail fin plane with upper and lower surfaces; determining a second pivot, and rotating the tail fin plane around the second pivot to generate the lower tail and upper tail, thus generating the cross tail fin. Using the above scheme, the cross tail fin can be an X-shaped tail fin, and the lower and upper tails can be V-shaped tails; the second pivot can be located at the connection point between the wing root and the fuselage, or an extension of the connection point.

[0061] In another embodiment of this application, the control surface design is carried out in conjunction with constraints such as the UAV structural design. Ailerons are designed on the trailing edge of the UAV wing for roll control, and an all-moving tail is designed for pitch and yaw control. (Reference) Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, an aileron located at the trailing edge of the wing is constructed for roll control. The aileron's two end faces 30 are determined based on its installation position coordinates along the wing span. The intersection curves of the aileron's end faces 30 with the wing are generated. The aileron's planar shape is determined based on its chord length. The wing is then cut according to the aileron's planar shape, with the main wing and aileron cut as open sections to facilitate subsequent aileron design. (Reference) Figure 13 , Figure 14 As shown, starting from the leading edge of the aileron, a portion is cut off according to a predetermined ratio to provide space for the aileron nacelle and the arc-shaped flow straightening design of the aileron leading edge; arcs are created on the two end faces of the trailing edge at the cut position of the main wing, generating a first multi-section surface 32, and a bridge is formed between the main wing and the first multi-section surface for a smooth transition. (Reference) Figure 15 As shown, arcs are created at the leading edges of the two aileron ends, and a second multi-segment surface is generated to form the aileron leading edge. (Reference) Figure 16 , Figure 17As shown, the aileron is stripped of a predetermined proportion of length from both end faces along its spanwise direction. A third rotation axis is then determined and obtained. This third rotation axis can be constructed along the long side of the aileron where it connects to the main wing. The aileron is deflected vertically to a predetermined angle. It is then determined whether the deflected aileron intersects with the main wing and whether the leading edge of the aileron protrudes excessively. If so, the position of the third rotation axis is adjusted. This method allows for more rational and accurate control surface design, improving design efficiency.

[0062] In another embodiment of this application, constructing the control surfaces includes constructing an all-moving tail fin. Designing the all-moving tail fin includes determining the spanwise length of the all-moving control surface, creating planes to separate the stationary portions of the lower and upper tail fins from the all-moving portions, constructing the all-moving control surfaces, and then constructing the all-moving tail fin based on the all-moving control surfaces. Using the above method, the stationary portion of the lower V-tail fin can be separated from the all-moving portion by creating two planes, such as... Figure 18 As shown, this achieves the design of all-moving control surfaces. The design method for the all-moving control surfaces of the upper V-tail is the same as that of the lower V-tail, as follows: Figure 19 As shown.

[0063] In another embodiment of this application, reference is made to... Figure 24 As shown, constructing the air intake includes determining the air intake layout as two side air intakes 40, based on the engine inlet dimensions, such as... Figure 20 As shown, a semi-circular shape is generated at the outlet section of a single-sided air intake, and the outlet section of the single-sided air intake is expanded to a predetermined length to form a straight section 41 of the air intake; the length of the air intake is obtained, and the plane where the air intake is located is determined based on the air intake, such as... Figure 21 As shown, a first intersection line is generated between the plane containing the air intake and the fuselage half-mold; the scale of the first intersection line is enlarged to construct a first structural element forming the air intake inlet cross-section; a transition curve is constructed from the air intake inlet cross-section to the straight section inlet cross-section, and the inner flow channel surface 42 of the air intake is generated, as shown. Figure 22 As shown; the length, height, and cross-sectional shapes of the fuselage inlet rectifier section are determined to perform airflow rectification design on the fuselage at the corresponding positions of the inlet. The front cross-sectional shape of the fuselage inlet rectifier section is obtained by proportionally enlarging the inlet cross-section of the inlet. The rear cross-sectional shape is the intersection of its plane and the fuselage. A transition curve from the inlet cross-section to the outlet cross-section of the fuselage inlet rectifier section is constructed, generating the surface of the fuselage inlet rectifier section. A bridge is then constructed between the inner flow channel and the fuselage inlet rectifier section at the inlet cross-section. Figure 23 As shown; using the fuselage symmetry plane as a reference, the opposite air intake is obtained based on the mirror symmetry of the single-sided air intake, and a bridging is performed at the intersection of the flow channels in the two air intakes to generate the air intake, as shown. Figure 24 As shown. Using the above scheme, the first structural element can be a spline curve, a rounding, etc. The above scheme can make the intake design more reasonable and improve design efficiency and accuracy.

[0064] In another embodiment of this application, constructing a semi-mode wing based on the semi-mode fuselage further includes: determining that the connection mechanism between the semi-mode wing and the semi-mode fuselage is a wing variant connection mechanism, and obtaining the UAV flight envelope; determining the flight Mach number based on the UAV flight envelope, and further determining the wing sweep angle; establishing an interpolation model between the flight state and the wing sweep angle, and generating wing sweep angles for different flight states; and constructing a semi-mode wing by combining the correspondence between the flight state and the wing sweep angle, wherein the semi-mode wing is a variant semi-mode wing.

[0065] The above scheme is adopted, with reference to Figure 25 As shown, the first connecting mechanism can be a ball screw linear servo-driven wing morphing mechanism, enabling continuously adjustable deployment and folding, thereby achieving wing configurations with different sweep angles. When establishing the interpolation model of flight state and wing sweep angle, for typical flight states, numerical simulations and experiments can be conducted using both computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solvers and wind tunnel methods to obtain the required sweep angle for each flight state to achieve stable high lift-to-drag ratio flight of the aircraft. Based on existing nonlinear interpolation models, such as Kriging and neural networks, a correspondence between flight state and wing sweep angle is established and stored in the aircraft control terminal 51. Actual flight state data is sent to the aircraft control terminal 51, which calculates the wing sweep angle required for stable high lift-to-drag ratio flight. Upon receiving a flight control command, the locking mechanism 52 is unlocked, and the ball screw linear servo 53 drives the wing to deploy or fold. After reaching the desired position, the locking mechanism is locked again, and the wing is connected to the morphing mounting base 50.

[0066] In one embodiment of this application, when the aircraft is flying at low speed, the wing sweep angle is 0°, and it is in a straight wing state, such as... Figure 26 As shown; when the aircraft is in high-speed cruise flight, the wings have a certain sweep angle, such as 30°, as... Figure 27 As shown, a higher lift-to-drag ratio can be achieved by changing the wing sweep angle under different flight conditions, thus improving aerodynamic performance under typical flight conditions. When storing and transporting the UAV, the wing sweep angle is 90°, folded under the fuselage, as shown... Figure 28 As shown, this effectively improves space utilization.
