Vehicle-Mounted Aircraft Landing Control for Fixed Camera Orientation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing aircraft systems that attach to vehicles for photography face challenges in maintaining a consistent photographing direction after landing, leading to instability and reduced usability of captured images.
Innovation Solution
An on-vehicle aircraft control system that includes a winding device on the landing platform, a connecting member, and a controller to control the aircraft's attitude, ensuring the photographing unit faces a specified direction upon landing by winding up the connecting member and adjusting the aircraft's attitude.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the aircraft is used for photographing after landing on the vehicle, then the aircraft can be used for a wider range of purposes and can be more convenient, but the photographing direction varies depending on the attitude of the aircraft when landing, making it difficult to effectively use the photographed image
Solution Approach 1:
The control device determines a specified photographing direction in advance before the aircraft lands. This preliminary determination of the desired photographing direction allows the system to prepare the appropriate attitude instructions beforehand, ensuring that the aircraft will be in the correct orientation for stable photographing immediately upon landing, thus preventing direction variation while maintaining versatility
Solution Approach 2:
The control device receives attitude information from the aircraft and compares it with the predetermined specified photographing direction. Based on this feedback, the control device generates appropriate attitude instructions to guide the aircraft toward the correct orientation. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures the photographing direction remains stable and consistent with the predetermined specification

AI summary
An on-vehicle aircraft control system includes a winding device provided on a landing platform, a connecting member connecting the winding device and an aircraft and wound up or drawn out by the winding device, and a controller controlling the winding device and the aircraft. Upon receipt of a landing request to land the aircraft on the landing platform, the controller winds up the connecting member by the winding device and controls an attitude of the aircraft so as to land the aircraft with a photographing unit provided on the aircraft facing in a specified photographing direction determined in advance.
