Based on the wind field characteristics of high-rise buildings, this paper studies the wind resistance stability of multi-rotor UAV flight platform, conducts research on the design technology of high-wind resistance flight platform, improves the safety and reliability of fire fighting and extinguishing UAV, and provides technical support for the design and optimization of fire fighting and extinguishing UAV. Based on various aerodynamic data under no-load and on-load conditions, the wind resistance of the UAV is analyzed, and a set of wind resistance evaluation methods for the multi-rotor fire fighting and extinguishing UAV is proposed. The wind static model of the multi-rotor fire fighting UAV is established to evaluate the wind resistance of the UAV. The results show that: the designed fire-fighting UAV can theoretically resist the wind of level 7 (16 m/s), and the UAV can achieve the balance of force and torque by adjusting its attitude under the horizontal action of level 7 wind.
High-rise building fire extinguishing UAV is a new equipment used in high-rise building fire extinguishing and rescue. However, the turbulent environmental airflow in the high-rise building area and the complex wind field pose a threat to the stability of fire fighting and fire fighting drones, which puts forward higher requirements for the stability and wind resistance of multi-rotor UAV flight platforms. Therefore, aiming at multi-rotor drones that perform fire fighting tasks in high-rise buildings, the characteristics of wind fields between buildings in high-rise buildings are studied to provide technical references for the design and optimization of fire-fighting drones, which not only has important theoretical significance, but also has high practical value. With multi-rotor firefighting drones as the background, based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) theory and Fluent software, the wind field characteristics around high-rise buildings are studied, carrying out numerical simulation analysis of the wind field around single buildings and multiple buildings to provide a reference for the actual flight of fire extinguishing drones between buildings. The analysis results show that: Compared to the single building, the wind field around the building has changed a lot when the two buildings are arranged, and the aerodynamic interference between the two buildings is significantly weakened as the distance between the buildings increases; Layout and the surrounding buildings play a shielding role. The wind and shadow areas are superimposed on each other, and the air flow is complicated. Drones should avoid flying in these complex wind fields as for as possible.

In this paper, two basic aspects of multi-rotor UAV, the air braking capability and obstacle avoidance function, are analyzed and studied on a certain type of fire-fighting UAV. Firstly, based on the motion model, the force analysis of the UAV is carried out to explore the factors that affect the braking ability; the mathematical relationship is established between the influencing factors and the braking distance, and the braking problem is solved in PYTHON. After that, the obstacle avoidance function of the multi-rotor UAV is developed based on the ROS environment. Several commonly used obstacle detection technologies and path planning algorithms are introduced and their advantages and disadvantages are compared. Under the ROS environment, simulating the advanced obstacle avoidance strategy according to VFH algorithm, and using PX4 external control mode in Gazebo simulation environment to verify the feasibility of the designed obstacle avoidance strategy. The results show that in actual flight, when the braking pitch angle is 30°, the UAV can slow down and hover within a safe distance of 10 m, meanwhile the advanced strategy based on VFH algorithm can be realized in simulation environment.
In recent years, the application demand of UAV has been increasing rapidly. In the face of complex tasks, the mission capability of a single UAV is limited. Comparatively, multi UAV formation can greatly improve the efficiency, reliability and redundancy. This paper presents a multi UAV formation method based on ROS system. Firstly, several UAV formation methods are introduced. With the comparison of these methods, the distributed formation method is adopted. Then, the software architecture of UAV formation system is designed based on ROS system. And on this basis, the estimation node, control node, formation node and display node are designed. By subscribing to Px4 flight control node, the estimation node obtains the UAV status, position, speed and Euler angle. Then the estimation node converts the message format and publishes them for other nodes to use. The control node subscribes to the formation control command of the formation node, estimates the UAV state information of the node, calculates the expected speed of the UAV through the previously adopted formation control algorithm, and sends the message to the Px4 control module. In addition, the control node establishes contact with the control module to realize the functions of unlocking, locking, takeoff and landing. The formation node can calculate the relative deviation of UAV formation position according to different formation requirements. The display node is used to display the current status of UAV, including position, speed, yaw angle, etc. Finally, the feasibility of the formation control method is verified in the Gazebo simulation environment, and the results show that the method can realize formation flying, formation transformation and maintenance. The above contents lay a certain foundation for the future related research and can be used for reference.
In this paper, two methods, basic reliability analysis and mission reliability analysis, are used to analyze and calculate the system reliability of "Sky Dragon I" eight-rotor fire-fighting UAV specially designed for high-rise building fires and developed by the research group. The two methods are based on the reliability model, considering the correlation among the units of the reliability model, the upper and lower bounds of the system reliability, system failure rate and MTTF of the series and parallel reliability model are deduced, and the reliability parameters of "Sky Dragon I" are calculated. The novel points of this paper are as follows: 1) The application of the two methods in the complex system of eight-rotor fire-fighting UAVS is a brand-new research. 2) Most of the traditional system reliability research is based on the premise that each unit is independent of each other. In this paper, a new analysis and calculation is carried out under the premise of considering the correlation among the units of the reliability model. The results show that the reliability of the UAV meets the requirements. However, the safety and reliability of the whole system are not perfect enough. In order to improve the safety and reliability of the fire-fighting UAV, the corresponding reliability design optimization and tests will be carried out later.
One of the biggest technical challenges of supersonic flight is the mitigation of sonic boom. To deal with this problem, the Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation came up with the spike concept, and it showed to be efficient. However, there also remain several problems, the first one is that installing the spike makes it harder to balance for supersonic transport and the another one is that the movement equipment is complex. In this paper, a new concept by replacing the multi-stage of the normal spike with smooth transistion cones is proposed. The concept simultaneously uses the CFD solver HUNS3D based on the Reynolds average (RANS) equation and the far-field FL-BOOM sound explosion propagation program based on Thomas waveform parameter method. The effectiveness of the present scheme to suppress supersonic aircraft sound explosion is verified according to the concept. It is proved that the increased length is good for low blast and the main factor affecting the blast reduction effect of multistage mute cone is length rather than series by the analysis. The results have important reference value for the silent cone design of supersonic aircraft.

Also, the structure analysis is carried out on the landing gear by applying all the forces which are acting on it. Through the analysis of the stress on the six-rotor UAV under different working conditions, the results show that the UAV is strong enough under the loading condition of 5 kg.

Sonic boom reduction will be an issue of utmost importance in future supersonic transport, due to strong regulations on acoustic nuisance. The paper describes a new multi-objective optimization method for supersonic aircraft design. The method is developed by coupling Seebass–George–Darden (SGD) inverse design method and multi-objective genetic algorithm. Based on the method, different codes are developed. Using a computational architecture, a conceptual supersonic aircraft design environment (CSADE) is constructed. The architecture of CSADE includes inner optimization level and out optimization level. The low boom configuration is generated in inner optimization level by matching the target equivalent area distribution and actual equivalent area distribution. And low boom/low drag configuration is generated in outer optimization level by using NSGA-II multi-objective genetic algorithm to optimize the control parameters of SGD method and aircraft shape. Two objective functions, low sonic boom and low wave drag, are considered in CSADE. Physically reasonable Pareto solutions are obtained from the present optimization. Some supersonic aircraft configurations are selected from Pareto front and the optimization results indicate that the swept forward wing configuration has benefits in both sonic boom reduction and wave drag reduction. The results are validated by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis.
以布兹曼双层翼为基础,采用基于压力梯度自适应的非结构网格求解欧拉方程的计算流体力学(CFD)方法,计算分析了双层翼翼型的厚度和翼面间距对阻力特性的影响。在马赫数为1.7的情况下,由于激波的反射和干涉,超声速双层翼翼型的阻力系数仅为0.00189,为相同厚度菱形翼型的1/15。本文通过进一步的研究发现:减少翼型厚度对于双层翼翼型设计马赫数的阻力系数有一定的影响,且与超声速状态相比,厚度对于亚声速状态的阻力影响更大,厚度减少20%,亚声速状态的阻力系数减少可达60%以上;翼面间距对阻力特性的影响相对复杂,设计马赫数之前的阻力系数与翼面间距成反比,而设计马赫数之后的阻力系数与翼面间距成正比。在此基础上,基于激波的反射及干涉效应,提出了一种双设计状态的双层翼翼型,在最佳设计点之前,双层翼之间的激波/膨胀波会有两次反射,使翼型前后的压力基本相同,阻力系数出现一次下降。随着马赫数的增加马赫角减少,激波经过一次反射就能使翼型前后的压力基本相同,使翼型达到最佳设计状态。计算结果表明,双设计状态双层翼能够使双层翼翼型在两个设计点都具有较低的阻力系数。
