[0002] At present, my country's UAV industry is developing rapidly, and the demand for load capacity of large UAVs is increasing. The landing gear needs to have a larger load-bearing capacity. Due to the limitations of the theoretical shape of the UAV body and the requirements of the body structural strength and deformation capacity, the main landing gear of large UAVs needs to add a sub-wing structure to meet the requirement of reducing the strength of the fuselage connection structure.
[0003] The traditional sub-wing structure is composed of ribs, front and rear beams, and skins. The strut joint is connected to the rear beam. Since the strut load is large, the corresponding strut joint is large in size, and the connection between the strut joint and the rear beam must have sufficient strength. Considering that the shape of the sub-wing itself has a huge impact on the aerodynamic load, causing a significant increase in aircraft resistance, when designing the sub-wing, the projection area of the sub-wing structure along the heading direction should be minimized. As a result, the traditional sub-wing structure is difficult to meet the strength requirements.
[0004] Based on this, this application is made. Utility Model Content
