Abstract In order to enhance the stability of the tilt transition process, a new configuration of Quad-Tiltrotor UAV was presented in this paper. Firstly, numerical simulation was used to calculate and analyze the aerodynamic interaction between the front rotor/fuselage/rear rotor during the transition state mode. The calculation model of the isolated rotor, front-rear rotor, front rotor-fuselage, and front rotor-rear rotor-fuselage combination states are established. Besides, the effects of pitch, roll, and yaw moment on the fuselage at different tilt angles are analyzed. It is concluded that the front rotor is the leading factor in the aerodynamic interference of the whole UAV in the different combination states. The research results can provide a reference for the optimization design of the overall layout, structure, and flight control strategy of the cross-shaped quad-tiltrotor UAV, and can also provide solutions for the logistics application of urban air traffic. |
