Abstract

Abstract:

With the rapid development of science and technology, airplane is developing by leaps and bounds both in configuration and performance. However, few truly new aircraft has been developed except the fan-wing aircraft, a new low-speed, large-load aerial vehicle that has been developed in recent years, which is different from fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft. But the domestic research on this aircraft has just started and little literature is available for reference. Therefore, based on the domestic and foreign research on the fan-wing aircraft, the research progress of the fan-wing aircraft is summarized and analyzed. Firstly the flying principle of the fan-wing aircraft is reviewed. Next, the raise of the fan-wing aircraft in detail is reviewed too. And the past of the research and development in the fan-wing aircraft history is summarized. Then, according to its recent trend and development, analysis of its application in future is conducted. Finally, key technology of the fan-wing aircraft is summarized. In addition, the problems and trends in its future development are presented.

Key words: fan-wing aircraft, cross flow fan, flight principle, key technology, military application, civil application
