Structural Optimization of Anti-Interference of Small Ducted Aircraft

Abstract

The small ducted type aircraft has small volume and light weight, and the ducted body occupies a large proportion in the pneumatic surface of the whole machine. The presence of the ducted causes the aircraft to produce momentum resistance and additional resistance moments under the side wind/gust interference. The effect is to produce the rise torque that causes the aircraft to “rise up”, which makes the aircraft more susceptible to side wind/gust interference and deviates from the stable equilibrium state. Therefore, compared with the open rotor unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV), the small ducted aircraft itself has worse anti-interference ability. The above analysis shows that the ring structure of the culvert makes the aircraft itself more vulnerable to the side wind/gust interference in the environment and forms an additional resistance moment. Therefore, how to improve the inherent anti-jamming capability of the small ducted aircraft through structural optimization is the problem to be solved in this paper.
