摘要

The distributed electric propulsion tandem-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) offers higher aerodynamic efficiency than conventional electric vertical takeoff and landing UAV and superior rapid ascent takeoff and landing capabilities compared to regular fixed-wing aircraft. However, for this configuration, the aero-propulsive coupling effects between the propellers and wings are significant. To study the mutual interaction between distributed electric propulsion and aerodynamics on the flight dynamics characteristics and rapid ascent flight capability of UAV, an aero-propulsive coupling model incorporating the effects of propellers slipstream is established. Ground-based blown wing experiment is conducted to validate the modeling accuracy. Subsequently, a theoretical modeling framework based on standard stability derivatives is developed, incorporating the influence of thrust on the dynamics within stability derivatives. The dynamic characteristics of distributed electric propulsion tandem-wing configuration are then studied and aero-propulsive coupling effects on natural modes of motion and flight qualities are analyzed. Finally, flight simulations and actual flight tests are conducted to validate the rapid ascent flight capability of UAV in real-world. The experimental results indicate that UAV can achieve rapid ascent flight with significant pitch angles and high climb rates, showing promising results with more than a 91.9% improvement in takeoff performance compared to conventional rolling takeoff.
