Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional inspection systems assume only lightweight objects are loaded on the flying body, then the inspection system is simple and easy to operate, but it cannot perform inspection when the center of gravity moves during flight
Solution Approach 1:
The inspection system dynamically adapts to changing gravity center positions by detecting movement and automatically adjusting inspection parameters. The system transitions from static inspection assumptions to dynamic inspection that accounts for real-time gravity center changes, enabling versatile operation under varying load conditions without requiring complex manual reconfiguration
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that detect gravity center position changes during flight and use this information to adjust inspection parameters. By continuously monitoring flight status and gravity center movement, the system automatically modifies inspection criteria to maintain accuracy across different loading scenarios, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity
2Quantity of substance
If heavy objects or passengers are loaded on the flying body, then the flying body can carry useful payloads, but the flight status becomes unstable when the center of gravity moves
Solution Approach 1:
The inspection system performs preliminary detection of gravity center positions before flight and predicts potential movement trajectories. By pre-establishing inspection criteria for anticipated gravity center changes, the system prepares stability assessment parameters in advance, enabling reliable flight status monitoring when heavy payloads are carried without requiring real-time complex calculations during critical flight phases
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces traditional mechanical stability assessment methods with sensor-based detection and computational analysis. By using sensors to detect gravity center position and flight status parameters, and substituting mechanical intuition with algorithmic stability assessment, the system achieves reliable stability monitoring for heavy payloads while reducing the need for complex mechanical stabilization mechanisms
3Ease of operation
If the center of gravity position is moved during flight, then the flight control can be adjusted, but the conventional inspection cannot evaluate the stability
Solution Approach 1:
The inspection system implements feedback loops that continuously monitor flight status parameters and gravity center position changes. By comparing actual flight status against predicted parameters based on detected gravity center movement, the system accurately evaluates stability even when active gravity center adjustment is performed during flight, maintaining measurement precision while supporting operational flexibility
Solution Approach 2:
The inspection system is designed to handle multiple functions: it inspects both static flight status and dynamic stability during gravity center movement. By creating a universal inspection framework that encompasses both conventional flight inspection and gravity center movement evaluation, the system achieves accurate stability measurement across diverse flight control scenarios without requiring separate specialized systems

AI summary
A flight status inspection system, flight status inspection method and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing program inspect the flight status of a flying object (drone) capable of flying through the air. The drone has a gravitational center movement device for moving the position of the gravitational center of the entire drone. In addition, the flight status inspection system has an inspection device for acquiring and storing information about the flight status when moving the position of the gravitational center of the drone during flight, or when changing the flight details during movement of the gravitational center of the drone.
