Abstract

In recent years, monitoring long endurance UAV is widely used in civil fields such as earthquake relief, it has certain particularities in comparison with conventional UAV; this paper studied and summarized its key technologies in aerodynamic configuration. The research of aerodynamic configuration is based on a general scheme, research indicates that: (1) monitoring long endurance UAV has the characteristics of low-Reynolds number, so laminar airfoil is needed to increase lift-drag ratio; induced drag can be reduced by optimizing wing twist angle; (2) subsection control surface and new design method on flight-quality would improve control reliability and flight quality, which are indispensable for the UAV to guarantee safety in bad weather condition; (3) take-off/landing/taxiing performance should be considered in order to improve the runway adaptability of the UAV.
