The multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle is favored because of the characteristics of strong flexibility, light weight, simple mechanical structure, no need of runway, capability of realizing vertical take-off and landing, and the like. However, its duration is relatively short. The fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle generates lift force through wings and the propeller generates thrust, so that the fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle has good cruising ability, but has higher requirements on a take-off environment, and ejection or a runway is needed.
The common compound wing unmanned aerial vehicle comprises many rotors and fixed wing, has fused the advantage of many rotors and fixed wing. In the vertical take-off and landing stage, adopting a multi-rotor mode, and balancing gravity by utilizing the tension generated by the propeller; in the cruising stage, the multi-rotor stops turning to a fixed-wing mode so as to enhance the cruising ability of the aircraft. Composite wing unmanned aerial vehicles on the market generally have longer spans to obtain flight efficiency, and the maximum pull of multiple rotors is about 1.3-1.5 times the weight of the aircraft. The relevant parameters are widely counted as in table 1, and the ratio of the maximum take-off mass (i.e., the maximum multi-rotor tension) to the span is distributed between 3 and 10 (as shown in fig. 1).
The utility model provides a short wingspan composite wing aircraft. The composite wing unmanned aerial vehicle is similar to a composite wing unmanned aerial vehicle, is composed of multiple rotors and fixed wings, and has two points of essential difference: (1) The flight principle is different, the multi-rotor wing of the aircraft still works in the cruising stage, and partial upward lift force is provided; (2) The maximum pull force of the multiple rotors is increased, and the wingspan is reduced, so that the ratio of the maximum take-off mass (namely the maximum pull force of the multiple rotors) of the newly designed aircraft to the wingspan is more than or equal to 14. The purposes of such a design include: increase control redundancy, increase wind resistance, and reduce size.
Disclosure of utility model
The main aim of the utility model is to reduce the wing span of the composite wing, increase the wind resistance of the aircraft, and finally design the composite wing aircraft with good aerodynamic efficiency of the wing surface and control surface.
In order to achieve the above objective, the present utility model provides a short wingspan composite wing aircraft with control surfaces (as shown in fig. 2a, 2b and 3a, 3 b). The aircraft comprises four groups of rotor systems with upward pulling force, a group of forward-pushing rotor systems or a group of backward-pushing rotor systems, an energy and flight control system, a pair of rotor struts, a landing gear and a composite wing surface;
Wherein, a cavity is formed in the machine body for accommodating loads such as a battery, a flight control system, an aerial camera and the like; the rotor pole is in fuselage symmetry, and four ascending rotor systems of group's pulling force are installed on the top of rotor pole respectively, and rotor pole is fixed with the undercarriage around respectively.
Each rotor system consists of a direct current brushless motor and a propeller.
The energy and flight control system consists of a battery, a ammeter and a flight control device and is used for controlling the rotating speed of a motor and the deflection angle of a control surface so as to control the attitude of an aircraft.
The rotor wing support rod is a hollow carbon fiber rod, has higher strength, lighter weight and a drop-shaped section shape, so that the resistance is reduced.
The landing gear is supported through four points and is respectively connected to the rotor wing supporting rod; the composite wing surface has good aerodynamic efficiency and smaller wingspan, and improves the wind resistance of the aircraft and the flying capacity of narrow terrain.
The utility model has the main advantages that: the power system of an aircraft is operated at all times in different flight situations, wherein the upward rotor system can continue to provide upward lift during cruising phases, so that the demands on airfoil lift generation are reduced, and thus the span of the aircraft can be reduced. Because of the upward rotor wing system, the flying attitude of the aircraft can be flexibly adjusted, the interference to the aircraft under the condition of high wind is reduced by the small wingspan, and the wind resistance of the aircraft is improved. The aircraft has no complex tilting mechanism, does not need to stop the propeller during taking off and landing and cruising, and has good reliability and stability. The control surface is controlled in an auxiliary mode, so that the anti-interference capability of the aircraft is improved, and the flight efficiency and stability are improved.

For the aircrafts shown in fig. 2a and 2b, the control surfaces are respectively arranged at the rear edges of the left and right outer side wing surfaces, the control surface servo actuators are arranged in the wing surfaces, and the control surfaces can deflect in the same direction to serve as an elevator or in different directions to serve as ailerons.
