Abstract:This paper presents a lifting-wing multirotor UAV that allows long-range flight. The UAV features a lifting wing in a special mounting angle that works together with rotors to supply lift when it flies forward, achieving a reduction in energy consumption and improvement of flight range compared to traditional multirotor UAVs. Its dynamic model is built according to the classical multirotor theory and the fixed-wing theory, as the aerodynamics of its multiple propellers and that of its lifting wing are almost d… Show more
