中文摘要

      飞行控制设计的最新进展提高了复杂自主飞行器完成各类任务的能力. 在各类垂直起降飞行器中, 涵道风 扇飞行器(DFAVs)是一种非常重要的尾座式飞行器, 其运动和驱动部件由称为涵道的环形机身所屏蔽. 这一结构使 得其能够很好地保护飞行器自身和操作人员的安全, 让飞行器能够在狭窄、杂乱和危险的环境中飞行. 此外, DFAVs具有固定翼飞机和直升机的特点, 能够同时展现它们的优良特性, 如长时居高监视能力和大有效载荷能力. 本文是关于DFAVs的第1篇综述论文, 旨在概述与其相关的几个方面的最新进展. 首先, 综述了世界范围内开发的此 类飞行平台的历史与分类, 并总结了它们的优缺点. 然后, 介绍了用于控制这些飞行器的多种控制方法. 最后, 给出 总结, 并讨论了现存的挑战, 以及新的研究趋势.

英文摘要

      Recent progress in the flight control design has inspired sophisticated autonomous aerial vehicles to accomplish various tasks. Among different vertical take-off and landing airborne vehicles, the ducted fan aerial vehicles (DFAVs) are a significantly important type of tail-sitter aircraft because their moving and actuated parts are shielded by annular fuselage called duct, which is crucial for aircraft protection as well as operator safety with the vehicle’s ability to fly in confined, cluttered, and hazardous environments. Moreover, they exhibit the characteristics of both fixed-wing airplanes and helicopters. Furthermore, these vehicles inherit several other qualities such as long perch, stare capability and large payload capacity. This first review paper on DFAVs aims to overview the latest advances while focusing on several aspects related to these vehicles. First, a comprehensive history and a novel categorization are provided with available flying platforms developed worldwide, and their features with pros and cons to other airborne configurations are summarized. Next, different flight control approaches employed to control these aircraft are explained. Finally, concluding remarks, key observations, existing challenges, and new trends in the conducted survey are discussed.
