Morphing aircraft, capable of real-time shape deformation according to task requirements and flight conditions to achieve optimal flight performance, has emerged as a significant direction for the future development of aircraft. This paper reviews the research status of deformation modes and key technologies of aerodynamic layout design for morphing aircraft. Firstly, the development of morphing aircraft can be divided into two stages by the progression of time: the mechanical deformation stage and the flexible and muti-dimensional deformation stage. Then, this article summarizes morphing solutions for different parts of the aircraft, namely, the head deformation, wing deformation, power plant deformation, and combined deformation. It particularly explores the developmental history of various wing morphing schemes, discusses their applications in different aerodynamic configurations including variable sweep wing, variable forward sweep wing, folding wing, telescopic wing, oblique wing, continuous variable curvature wing, and analyzes their aerodynamic and stability characteristics, respectively. Next, the implementation objectives of morphing aircraft are summarized and divided into three types: single domain optimal variable configuration, multi-domain fusion variable configuration, and one vessel multi-energy variable configuration. Subsequently, compared with fixed shape aircraft, the key technical challenges in aerodynamic layout and overall coordination design, time-varying aerodynamic effect evaluation, aerodynamic layout scheme optimization, and multidisciplinary coupling design derived from the implementation of morphing aircraft are analyzed, with particular focus on the research progress and current status of dynamic aerodynamic calculation methods and aerodynamic optimization design technologies for morphing aircraft. Finally, the future research direction and development prospects of morphing technologies are envisioned. Targeting at the needs of wide velocity domain and large airspace flight, exploring new conceptual deformation methods that can improve the performance of multiple flight missions and establishing intelligent morphing design model and multidisciplinary strong coupling integrated design system will become important development trends.

With the increasing convenience of data acquisition for aerial photography of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), the multi-target detection and tracking technology based on the UAV platform has developed rapidly and has broad prospects for applications in civil and military fields. In recent years, the rapid progress of in-depth learning has also provided a variety of more effective solutions. However, the challenging problems such as sudden changes in the appearance of the target, serious occlusion of the target area, and disappearance and reappearance of the target from the perspective of UAV have not been completely solved. In this paper, we summarize the algorithms for multi-target detection and tracking in UAV aerial video based on deep learning, and summarize the latest progress in this field, including multi-target detection and multi-object tracking. The multi-object detection module is divided into two parts: two-stage and one-stage detection. For the multi-object tracking module, according to the two classical frameworks of tracking-based detection and joint-detection tracking, the principles of the two algorithms are described and their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. Then, the existing public data sets are statistically analyzed, and the optimal schemes of the benchmark challenge VisDrone Challenge in the field of multi-target detection and tracking based on UAV aerial video in recent years are compared and analyzed. Finally, the paper discusses the urgent problems of multi-object detection and tracking from the perspective of UAV and the possible research directions in the future, providing a reference for the follow-up researchers.

Jinghui DENG
Acta Aeronautica et Astronautica Sinica    2024, 45 (5): 529937-529937.   DOI: 10.7527/S1000-6893.2023.29937

The development of electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft is greatly promoted for the advances in battery and motor technologies and the application of distributed electric propulsion system. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of different eVTOL configurations and their application scenarios are summarized, and a comprehensive comparison between eVTOL and conventional fuel aircraft is made in terms of performance, noise and cost. The interaction noise by rotors and rotor-wing is more prominent for eVTOL, but the electric propulsion rotor system with low tip speed and large rotor solidity greatly reduces its noise level (about a reduction of 15 dB). Lithium-ion batteries are the main energy source for current and future eVTOL. The advanced battery material system, integrated design of battery-structure and excellent battery management system are effective ways to improve the energy density and energy security of the whole aircraft in the future. The redundant manipulation of eVTOL increases the difficulty of flight control system design, but improves the safety of the whole aircraft at the same time. Fault reconstruction and collaborative control are new challenges faced by eVTOL. A wide variety of configurations and novel design features such as high voltage power, electric propulsion, flight-by-wire flight system and electric actuation are proposed for eVTOLs. In the absence of flight test data, the system-based method is the main method for safety design of eVTOL.

Hydrogen fuel has significant importance in mitigating global climate change and protecting the environment by achieving zero carbon emission in aviation engines, aerospace propulsion engines, and ground gas turbines. However, the application of hydrogen combustion technology still faces many challenges. Hydrogen combustion in traditional burners poses a risk of flashback and high nitrogen oxide (NO x ) emission. Thus, it requires exploration of new combustion technologies and pollution control measures to satisfy the urgent need of hydrogen energy. Micromix combustion technology implements hundreds of microchannels combined with micro-injection of hydrogen to rapidly mix air and hydrogen to form small-scale flames. The residence time of N2 in the high-temperature zone is shortened to the level of milliseconds, significantly reducing the production of nitrogen oxide. This paper reviews the application history of hydrogen in gas turbine engines and the progress of hydrogen combustion simulation and experimental studies, summarizes the hydrogen characteristics, NO x generation mechanism, micromix combustion principle, premixed combustion, diffusion combustion and dome structure characteristics, and discusses the influence of critical parameters of micromix combustors on aerothermodynamic process, NO x generation and control measures, providing theoretical and empirical bases for the engineering design of hydrogen combustion chambers. Finally, the future development of hydrogen combustion technology is prospected.
