Title:
INTEGRATED DUCT DESIGN FOR UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2010036888
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a system to increase the accommodating capability of an unmanned aerial vehicle.

The aerial vehicle 1 with a duct fan equipped with an increased accommodating capability of the inside of a duct for equipment and electronic apparatus assures an improved air stream and fan efficiency, compared with a conventional aerial vehicle with a duct fan which retains the cargo in an external pod. The outside of the duct 3 may extend outward, which allows the equipment and electronic apparatus to be accommodated in the accommodation regions arranged inside the duct at a certain spacing along the duct. The accommodation regions can form a quadrangular duct furnished with circular interior walls. The regions also extends in the direction of the rotational axis of the fan, which provides an additional accommodation part over the bottom edge of the duct.
