AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional micro unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have wings that take up a lot of space during transportation and storage, and their rigid folding design makes it difficult to take into account the airfoil flexibility of biomimetic aircraft, resulting in insufficient flight performance and reliability.

Method used

The biomimetic wing rib deployment design driven by a four-bar linkage, combined with an inelastic membrane and main load-bearing beam, achieves a radial arrangement of the main wing system. Independent drive and non-coaxial arrangement improve airfoil retention and aerodynamic efficiency. The tail system uses differential control and a vertical tail to enhance attitude stability. The power system uses a streamlined housing to protect power transmission.

Benefits of technology

While maintaining the portability of folding and storage, it improves lift and aerodynamic performance, reduces energy consumption and the probability of structural damage, enhances the adaptability and reliability of the aircraft, and solves the problems of easy wing damage, difficulty in maintaining airfoil and high drive load of traditional unmanned aerial vehicles.
