This invention provides a
composite material truss-type unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
fuselage structure and the UAV itself, employing an inverted triangular
layout. It includes a main tube, support tubes, segmented multi-port joints, wing-
body joints, a
nose cone, and a
tail cone. The main tube consists of three
carbon steel tubes with the same outer
diameter and varying wall thickness, divided into multiple sections based on process feasibility. The support tubes include four types: transverse support tubes, upward-sloping support tubes, two-sided inclined support tubes, and two-sided reinforced support tubes, all with the same outer
diameter. The segmented multi-port joints include four types: four-way joints, five-way joints, six-way joints, and seven-way joints, each divided into two segments and press-bonded to the main tubes and support tubes. A multi-port joint below the
nose cone connects to the
fuselage, while upper lugs connect to the wings and
tail. The
nose cone and
tail cone are contoured. This invention improves the overall
structural rigidity and
instability resistance by coordinating the
load distribution across the truss components, and allows for flexible installation of onboard equipment.
