Abstract

The invention relates to an eight-rotor craft relating to the field of crafts and solving the problem of poor yawing capacity of an existing eight-rotor craft. The eight-rotor craft comprises a craft body, an avionics system, a work load module, a landing gear, four support arms connected with the avionics system and spreading at equal angles along the axial circumference of the center of the craft body, and drive units at end parts of the four support arms, wherein the included angle alpha between each support arm and the center shaft of the craft body is equal and is more than 0 DEG and less than 90 DEG, projections of the support arms in an xoy plane are two straight lines which are in axial symmetry intersection, projections of the four drive units in the xoy plane are respectively positioned in four quadrants or x and y positive and negative semiaxes, the included angle theta between the projection of the rotating axis of each drive unit and the z axis is not less than -75 DEG and not more than 75 DEG, except for 0 DEG C, and projections of the rotating axis of the drive units in the xoy plane are vertical to a projection of a connecting line between a rotating center and an original point of a craft body coordinate system in the xoy plane. According to the eight-rotor craft, the yawing moment is improved by one order of magnitude, and the yawing capacity is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aircraft, in particular to an eight-rotor aircraft. Background technique [0002] The eight-rotor aircraft is derived from the traditional four-rotor aircraft, including two structural forms, one is to install eight rotors on the same plane, the other is to install four coaxial rotors on the same plane, and the traditional four-rotor aircraft. In contrast, an eight-rotor aircraft uses eight rotors to generate thrust, which is greater than that generated by four rotors. Therefore, it can carry a larger load. In recent years, a research boom has been set off around the world. [0003] Eight-rotor aircraft, by changing the rotation speed of the eight rotors, generates the lift and torque required for the aircraft to fly, so as to achieve stable hovering and precise flight of the aircraft. From the perspective of motion, the eight-rotor aircraft has six degrees of freedom in space and four possible The four ...
