1.Overview of Fixed-Wing Drones

Pay attention to the following diagram, which will lead us to an in-depth understanding of the five basic structures of this vehicle.

The diagram above clearly shows the main structures and component names of a conventional fixed-wing UAV. Next, we will deeply analyze these basic structures and their roles in the UAV. To help you understand more clearly, we have created a relationship diagram so that you can better grasp the overall structure and function of a fixed-wing UAV.

 

2. Infrastructure Details

2.1 Engine Function

The engine is the core component of the vehicle, and its role is to generate the forward thrust or pull that drives the vehicle.

2.2 Airframe functions

The fuselage is the main load-bearing structure of a vehicle and is used to carry a variety of equipment and systems, as well as to connect and support other components, such as the wings, tail, and engines.

2.3 Wing Functions

The wing is the key component of a vehicle that generates lift, and through the design and shape of the wing, enough lift can be generated to support the vehicle in the air. At the same time, the wing also plays a certain stabilizing and maneuvering role, through the manipulation of the ailerons, it can realize the roll and turn of the vehicle.

2.4 Role of the Tail

The role of the tail is to manipulate the pitch and yaw motion of the vehicle to ensure the smooth flight of the vehicle. The tail consists of horizontal and vertical tail, and the attitude control of the vehicle can be realized by adjusting its angle and position.

2.5 Landing Gear Function

The landing gear is an important support component for the aircraft during takeoff, landing and ground taxi. It can support the weight of the aircraft and help it take off, land and park smoothly. The design and layout of the landing gear has an important influence on the stability and maneuverability of the aircraft.

 

3. Other systems

In addition, fixed-wing UAVs include many other complex systems and components, such as control systems, power systems, sensors, and so on. These components work together to enable fixed-wing UAVs to accomplish a variety of complex flight tasks.
