What is a fixed wing vtol uav drone? What advantages does it have?
2023-08-16 19:00Before we look at fixed wing vtol uav, let's understand fixed wing and multirotor respectively. Fixed-wing drones refer to drones with rotors that fly by generating force on the wing surface fixed to the fuselage. The flying speed of fixed-wing drones is fast, the flying distance is long, and the cruising area is correspondingly large. A multi-rotor UAV is a UAV that flies by generating lift and thrust through multiple rotors. It usually consists of four or more rotors. Each rotor can adjust its speed and direction independently to control attitude of the UAV. and fly. The flying height of a multi-rotor flying UAV is low, it has strong maneuverability, and it has a strong ability to perform special tasks.
In fact, both fixed-wing drones and multi-rotor drones have their own characteristics, so how should we combine their respective advantages? Based on this thinking, the fixed wing VTOL uav was developed. On the basis of fixed wings, it combines the advantages of multi-rotors that can take off and land vertically. Significantly reduces the limitations of fixed-wing takeoff and landing sites. It has a fast-color flight mode and the flight time is correspondingly extended. Breaking through the limitation of the venue, the flight range of the drone has also been increased accordingly. Since fixed wing VTOL uav has the dual advantages of fixed-wing UAV and multi-rotor UAV, it can be applied on many occasions, such as power cruise, disaster rescue, geographic mapping, etc.
In the power cruise inspection, the fixed wing vtol uav can carry out patrol inspection through its own video recorder, and can conduct autonomous navigation according to the planned path and quickly fly to the designated place.
At the disaster rescue site, the fixed wing vtol uav can check the site situation through the infrared sensing device, and transmit the impact to the control center, and the rescuers can use the information provided by the drone to rescue.
The fixed wing vtol uav combines the advantages of both models, so it has been purchased by more and more companies in recent years. With its simple operability and low requirements for the venue have won the favor of many users.
