Description
Vertical take-off and landing aircraft with adjustable duct Technical Field The invention relates to the technical field of aircrafts, in particular to a vertical take-off and landing aircraft with an adjustable duct. Background In aircraft (particularly eVTOL) employing ducted fans as lift or propulsion components, the open inlet of the duct during non-operational periods (e.g., cruising) can create significant additional drag (parasitic drag) and disrupt the airflow continuity across the body surface, severely impacting cruising efficiency. The current mainstream solution to this problem includes mechanical hatches, which employ an integral or split hatch for physical shielding. However, the structure is heavy, the space occupied by the actuating mechanism is large, and a pure fairing is formed after the actuating mechanism is closed, so that only passive drag reduction can be realized, and active beneficial influence on air flow cannot be generated; the shutter type adopts a plurality of rotatable blades. Although the air inflow can be regulated, the blades are usually flat plates, the pneumatic efficiency is low, the sealing performance is poor, the surface smoothness cannot be guaranteed when the blades are completely closed, and the telescopic/retractable duct can fundamentally solve the problems, but the system is extremely complex, and the challenges of weight and reliability are huge. The common problem with the prior art is that the functionality is single (only "on" and "off" are implemented), the aerodynamic benefits are limited, and the balance between mechanical complexity, weight and reliability is difficult. Therefore, there is a need for a bypass intelligent shelter that is lightweight, highly reliable, and has both passive drag reduction and active flow control capabilities. A ducted fan is a component that provides an effective lift for an aircraft, but if it is desired to ensure that a large upward pull is provided to achieve a hover function, the length of the duct will be long enough while still ensuring pressure stability. The Chinese patent document CN 101857086A describes a double-duct vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial vehicle, but the structure still has the problem that the duct can not be opened or closed according to the requirement and is limited in length, and the lift force is limited during flight.
