Abstract

An airframe structure and an unmanned aerial vehicle thereof is disclosed, which belongs to the technical field of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The airframe structure includes: a main airframe; at least two main wings, which are symmetrically provided on the two sides of the main airframe, and which are provided with a propeller and a motor to provide power to the propeller; an upper vertical tail wing, which is provided at the upper end of the main airframe; and a lower vertical tail wing, which is provided at the lower end of the main airframe. The characteristics of a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle and a multi-rotor-wing unmanned aerial vehicle are considered.

Claims (12)

1 . An airframe structure, comprising:

a main airframe;

at least two main wings, which are symmetrically provided on two sides of the main airframe, wherein each of the at least two main wings is provided with a propeller and a motor to provide power to the propeller;

an upper vertical tail wing, which is provided at an upper end of the main airframe; and

a lower vertical tail wing, which is provided at a lower end of the main airframe;

wherein the upper vertical tail wing is provided thereon with at least two horizontal tail wings, the at least two horizontal tail wings are provided on left and right sides of the upper vertical tail wing, airfoils of the at least two horizontal tail wings and airfoils of the upper vertical tail wing are perpendicular to each other, the airfoils of the at least two horizontal tail wings and airfoils of the at least two main wings are parallel to each other, each of the at least two horizontal tail wings are located directly above a corresponding one of the at least two main wings, a first ratio of a distance a from an end of each of the at least two horizontal tail wings to a symmetry plane of the main airframe to a distance b from an end of each of the at least two main wings to the symmetry plane of the main airframe is (30-35):(95-100), and a second ratio of the distance a to a vertical distance d from a bottom surface of each of the at least two horizontal tail wings to an upper surface of the corresponding one of the at least two main wings is 32:36.

2 . The airframe structure according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two main wings and the at least two horizontal tail wings are NACA airfoils.

3 . The airframe structure according to claim 1 , wherein a third ratio of the distance a to a horizontal distance c from an axis of rotation of the propeller to the symmetry plane of the main airframe is (30-35):(45-50).

4 . The airframe structure according to claim 1 , wherein the lower vertical tail wing and the upper vertical tail wing are NACA airfoils.

5 . The airframe structure according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two horizontal tail wings are in a middle of the upper vertical tail wing.

6 . The airframe structure according to claim 1 , wherein the lower vertical tail wing further includes a bob-weight assembly.

7 . An unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising the airframe structure according to claim 1 .
