Abstract

An amphibious drone having a fuselage, a linear support, a wing and a take-off and landing device. The take-off and landing device is on the lower surface of the linear support or the wing. The take-off and landing device has a buoyancy unit and a power device, and the power device is capable of generating thrust to push the buoyancy unit to move. The take-off and landing device can be on the lower surface of the drone, and realizes the water support of the drone by symmetrically providing the take-off and landing device. At the same time, the take-off and landing device is further provided with a power device for pushing the drone to be started. The amphibious drone can take off and land by relying on the take-off and landing device, which can be disassembled to adapt to different usage conditions.
