Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the unmanned aerial vehicle uses a fixed-wing design with perpendicular wing and fuselage, then the aerodynamic performance is improved, but the space occupied increases making transportation and storage inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The unmanned aerial vehicle is divided into separable components: the wing assembly and the fuselage. The wing can be detached from the fuselage, allowing the vehicle to be disassembled into smaller parts for compact storage and transportation, while maintaining the complete fixed-wing structure during operation for optimal aerodynamic performance.
2Ease of operation
If the wing and fuselage are detachably connected, then the ease of transportation and storage is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional connection components
Solution Approach 1:
The connection structure is segmented into modular components including protruding portions on the fuselage, corresponding grooves on the wing, and index pins for alignment. This modular segmentation enables easy assembly and disassembly while keeping each individual component simple in design.
Solution Approach 2:
Index pins serve as intermediary elements that facilitate the connection between the wing and fuselage. These pins insert into corresponding holes to maintain proper alignment and secure the detachable connection, simplifying the overall assembly process while ensuring reliable attachment during flight operations.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle. The unmanned aerial vehicle includes a wing and a fuselage that are detachably connected to each other, a first protruding portion and a second protruding portion are formed at a position of the fuselage that corresponds to the wing, the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion are arranged opposite to each other, a mounting groove configured to accommodate a middle portion of the wing is formed between the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion, a mounting hole is formed on the first protruding portion and/or the second protruding portion, a pin hole is formed at a position of the middle portion of the wing that corresponds to the mounting hole, an index pin is arranged on the fuselage, the index pin is fixed on the first protruding portion and/or the second protruding portion, the index pin includes a bolt, and the bolt partially runs through the mounting hole and extends into the pin hole. In the present disclosure, the wing and the fuselage can be connected through the index pin. Therefore, the wing and the fuselage may be detachably connected to each other and conveniently detached from each other. In addition, through cooperation among the first protruding portion, the second protruding portion and the wing, flight and aerodynamic performance of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be ensured, and an appearance is aesthetic and concise.
