微型飞行器的研究与发展

微型飞行器(MAV)不是常规飞行器的简单缩小,尺寸的微型化带来气动力、推进、控制以及系统集成等一系列问题,给MAV的研制造成许多难以克服的困难。文章介绍了MAV的概念、特点、应用及其研究背景,重点综述了目前国内外微型飞行器的研究现状,提出了MAV研究面临的几个关键技术问题,展望了其研究发展趋势。

Micro Air Vehicles （MAVs） are not merely a scaling down of common aircraft. The miniature in dimensions has arisen series of problems such as in aerodynamics, propulsion, control, and system integration, which is formidable in MAVs investigation. The concept of MAVs and its origin background is introduced; the research actualities of MAVs in the world are analyzed in details, and several key technologies and main difficulties associated with MAVs are summarized. A developing outlook of future MAVs is also presented.
