AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The short flight range of existing drones is due to the fact that the mechanical energy output by the fuel engine needs to be converted into electrical energy to drive the motor, resulting in significant energy conversion losses.

Method used

The drone adopts a hybrid electric design, which directly drives the rotor system through a fuel engine, using fuel to provide the main energy. The battery module assists in controlling the drone's attitude and balance. The transmission system enables synchronous operation of multiple rotors, and the rotor differential speed is achieved through a clutch and a secondary drive unit to reduce energy conversion losses.

Benefits of technology

This improved the drone's range, reduced energy conversion losses, and enabled longer flight times.
