Aerodynamic layout of flapping-wing matrix aircraft

Abstract

The invention discloses aerodynamic layout of a flapping-wing matrix aircraft, comprising a body and large-aspect-ratio wings arranged on the two sides of the body in symmetric manner. Each large-aspect-ratio includes a wing framework that is formed by serially connecting a plurality of wing frames perpendicular to the body; a plurality of flapping wing frames along the body are included in each wing frame; an independent flapping wing is arranged within each flapping wing frame and is controlled independently; cooperative control of the multiple fapping wing sets helps implement vertical take-off and landing, aerial hovering, flapping flying and glide flying for the aircraft and also helps implement longitudinal and course control for the aircraft. Joint flapping of the flapping wing setshelps significantly improve the loading capacity of the aircraft, aerodynamic efficiency of the flapping wings is further improved, and the aircraft has a wider flying range and extended flying time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aircraft, in particular to an aircraft aerodynamic layout provided by a flapping wing matrix for lift, thrust and control. Background technique [0002] The flying masters in nature - birds and insects, without exception, all adopt the flapping wing flight method, which has been evolved over tens of millions of years and has high maneuverability and low energy consumption. In the early days, human beings also learned from birds and hoped to realize the dream of flying by flapping various wings, but limited by the research level of flight principles at that time and the lack of technology, materials, machinery, etc., these attempts were based on Failed. Later, with the continuous and in-depth research on aerodynamics, people realized their flying dreams through fixed-wing and rotary-wing flying methods, which are also the main flying methods of existing aircraft. The fixed-wing aircraft generates lift th...

Problems solved by technology

However, limited by the limitations of flapping wing materials and power at the current level of technology, the current flapping wing aircraft is mainly a small flapping wing aircraft imitating a bird and a miniature flapping wing aircraft imitating an insect. There is an upper limit on the size and frequency of the flapping wing. As a result, the weight of the flapping wing aircraft is limited, and it is impossible to achieve high load, long-term or long-distance flight
