The invention discloses a small-size aircraft system based on a cradle head, comprising a rack, a sensor box, a cradle head rolling rudder, a cradle head pitching rudder, a cradle head outer framework, a cradle head inner framework, an upper airscrew, a lower airscrew, an upper airscrew drive motor, a lower airscrew drive motor, a control unit, a telescopic rod and a pod. The aircraft system can realize complete control on the pose of an aircraft by pose adjustment on the cradle head and control on the revolving speed of the airscrews; the yaw angle of an aircraft body is controlled by reaction torque which is generated by the differential rotation of the upper and lower airscrews; the pitching angle and the rolling angle of the airscrews are realized by the rudders driving the cradle head to rotate; control on a spatial position is realized by the airscrew drive motors and pose adjustment on the cradle head. The small-size aircraft system is simple and reliable in design, and clear and explicit in structure; while expanding the existing rotor-type flight structure and control schemes, the small-size aircraft system is also a superior space carrier vehicle, and has considerable practical value.
