Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, are aircraft operated without a pilot, using radio remote control devices and autonomous flight control systems. They are widely used in various fields, including military and civilian applications. Fixed-wing UAVs, known for their long endurance and high cruising speeds, have become one of the most popular UAVs being developed worldwide. This chapter introduces the basic concepts of fixed-wing UAVs and discusses their principles of flight. This chapter’s exploration of fixed-wing UAVs provides readers with foundational knowledge of micro-small fixed-wing UAVs, laying the groundwork for subsequent chapters and introducing them to the full development and application process of such UAVs.

摘要

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, are aircraft operated without a pilot, using radio remote control devices and autonomous flight control systems. They are widely used in various fields, including military and civilian applications. Fixed-wing UAVs, known for their long endurance and high cruising speeds, have become one of the most popular UAVs being developed worldwide. This chapter introduces the basic concepts of fixed-wing UAVs and discusses their principles of flight. This chapter’s exploration of fixed-wing UAVs provides readers with foundational knowledge of micro-small fixed-wing UAVs, laying the groundwork for subsequent chapters and introducing them to the full development and application process of such UAVs.
