提出了一种将柔性翼和刚性翼相结合的柔性-刚性混合翼微型飞行器新概念布局型式,通过与刚性翼微型飞行器的风洞对比试验研究了该新概念布局的气动特性。在此基础上,进行了柔性-刚性混合翼微型飞行器试验原理样机的飞行试验验证。风洞试验和飞行试验研究结果表明:柔性-刚性混合翼微型飞行器的新概念布局是可行的;与刚性翼微型飞行器相比而言,柔性-刚性混合翼微型飞行器具有更好的气动特性,对解决微型飞行器抗风稳定飞行问题是有效的。

This paper presents a new conception of configuration of micro air vehicle （MAV）, which combines flexible wing with rigid wing, and forms a flexible-rigid wing MAV. Compared with rigid wing MAV, the aerodynamic characteristics of flexible-rigid hybrid wing MAV was studied with wind tunnel test. Based on the wind tunnel test, flexible-rigid hybrid wing MAV prototype model was tested in flight. The wind tunnel and flight test investigations show that the new conception of configuration of MAV is feasible, and compared to the rigid-fixed wing MAV, flexible-rigid hybrid wing MAV has better aerodynamic characteristics, which is also valid to solve stability of the MAV flight in the wind.
