So it cannot provide timely information assurance to combat team in the city and mountain area. Fixed-wing aircraft needs ground support in takeoff and landing. Ĭompared with ordinary fixed-wing aircraft, ducted fan UAV has such advantages.įlexibility. The experiments show that the ducted unique geometry can provide some aerodynamic lift for the vehicle. The peripheral duct not only enables the fan to be effectively protected, but also provides some aerodynamic lift for the vehicle's flight. It is capable of maneuvering in any angle in addition to the normal hover and vertical takeoff and landing capabilities therefore it can complete some special tasks. It is small with a compact and flexible layout. The ducted fan UAV can be adapted to a variety of complex environments and complete difficult flight missions.
