Abstract
Aiming at developing high power efficiency system for quadrotor vehicle during height keeping and long distance flight, a quadrotor vehicle with adaptive wing is proposed. Angle of the wing respect to flying direction can be adjusted adaptively according to flying speed, to reduce energy expenditure of motor. The dynamic model was built up. Rotor lift were analyzed based on the mechanical structure and its flight principle. The simulation is carried out to verify the effectiveness of high power efficiency.
