无人电动垂直起降飞行器在未来城市空中交通中的发展

Development of Unmanned Electric VTOL Aircraft in Future Urban Air Traffic

随着城市化进程的高速推进,城市早晚高峰拥堵、环境污染等问题日益严重,城市空中交通作为一个新兴的航空领域应运而生,也推动了城市空中交通的主力军无人电动垂直起降飞行器的开发应用。无人电动垂直起降飞行器吸引了包括航空航天企业、汽车行业、运输行业、政府、军方及学术界的广泛关注。本文系统地综述了国内外对无人电动垂直起降飞行器的研究现状及城市空中交通面临的困难与挑战。展望未来,在全球各国政策的鼓励支持下,无人电动垂直起降飞行器的研究将改变人类的生活方式,带领人类进入飞行时代。

With the rapid progress of urbanization,the problems of traffic congestion and environmental pollution are becoming more and more serious,urban air traffic as a new aviation field is emerging,it also promotes the develop⁃ment and application of the city's air traffic main force unmanned electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.Un⁃manned electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles have attracted widespread interest from aerospace companies,the automotive industry,the transportation industry,government,the military and academia.In this paper,the re⁃search status of unmanned electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle at home and abroad and the difficulties and challenges of urban air traffic were systematically reviewed.Looking forward to the future,with the encouragement and support of global policies,the research of unmanned electric vertical take off and landing vehicle will change the way of human life and lead human beings into the era of flight.
