Fixed-wing drones only need energy to keep the forward motion going, while the wings generate vertical lift as they go, which makes them much more efficient at covering longer distances, mapping broad areas, and staying close to their point of interest as long as the energy source allows it....
The 737-800 and 737 MAX 8 have two exits over the wing on each side, in addition to the exits at the front and back of the aircraft. The only exception would be the 737 MAX 8200, which is operated by some ultra low cost carriers, where there’s an extra exit in the back, with ...
This paper has calculated the wingbody shape with two different types of winglets(the blended winglet and shark winglet) by discreted Renault average Navier-Stokes equation and aero-structure coupled equation.The results showed that the weight increase of aircraft structure is lower than the weight ...
aAirplanes come in many different shapes and sizes depending on the mission of the aircraft, but all modern airplanes have certain components in common. These are the fuselage, wing, tail assembly and control surfaces, landing gear, and powerplant(s). 开始[translate]...
The purpose of the landing gear, as the name suggests, is to support the load of the aircraft upon landing and at all times on the ground. While there are hundreds of layouts and designs out there, the article focuses on some of the most common types of landing gear in General Aviation...
Unlike fixed-wing aircraft, FWFRs do not control the altitude using only the pitch rudder but mainly climb or descend by controlling its flapping frequency. Note that the HIT-Hawk has no independent servo for yaw, and its yaw and roll control are coupled. The energy source utilized by the ...
The Predator drone is one of the most well-known types of military drones. It has been used extensively in Afghanistan and Iraq. The drone is a medium-altitude, long-endurance (MALE) aircraft that can be armed with both missiles and bombs. It is also equipped with cameras that allow opera...
There are four main physical types of professional drones: multi-rotor, fixed-wing, single-rotor helicopter, and fixed-wing hybrid VTOL. The different body styles of each type of drone contribute to the amount of weight they can carry (payload), efficiency and duration of the flight. ...
Fixed Wing drones are entirely different in design and build to multi-rotor type drones. They use a ‘wing’ like the normal airplanes out there. Unlike multi-rotor drones, fixed wing type models never utilize energy to stay afloat on air (fixed wing types can’t stand still on the air)...
