The invention discloses a wind-generator blade defect damage inspection method and an inspection system based on an unmanned helicopter. According to the method and the system, acquisition apparatuses for light, heat and sound signals are arranged on a small-size unmanned helicopter, the unmanned helicopter is controlled to approach a blade on a wind turbine tower in a wind farm for acquiring the light, heat and sound signals of the blade and recording or sending back the signals, so that a ground worker can analyze the blade state and timely discover blade damages and defects and adopts corresponding measures, and thus the operation reliability of blades is improved, and major accidents such as fracture and falling off of a blade and the like are prevented from generating. The inspection system comprises the small-size unmanned helicopter, a controller, a minitype visible-light image gatherer, a minitype thermal infrared imager, a sound sensor, a distance sensor, a signal emission device and a signal reception and processing device. The inspection system is capable of acquiring the light, heat and sound signals of blades in a close range, is accurate and reliable in information, convenient to operate and short in inspection time.
