However, existing drone technologies have significant shortcomings in practical applications: multi-rotor drones rely on lithium batteries, with a single flight time of only 15-40 minutes, resulting in high energy consumption and weak resistance to airflow interference; fixed-wing drones require runways / catapults for takeoff and landing, making them unsuitable for confined spaces and difficult to hover in a fixed position; traditional solar-powered drones have limited power generation and poor stability; and a few drones with buoyancy devices exhibit large adjustment errors and chaotic system layouts. These problems make it difficult for existing products to meet the requirements for long-term stable operation. Utility Model Content
