Falling-resistant and anti-drifting unmanned aerial vehicle
A falling-resistant and anti-drifting unmanned aerial vehicle has a main body and at least one rotor wing thereon. Both sides of the main body have a wing with an airbag filled with gas lighter than air. Bulges protruding downwards are arranged at the bottoms of the airbag. The two airbags are at the same height symmetrically arranged based on the main body. The airbag can function as an undercarriage when the aircraft lands down, and as a buffer when crash landing and then reduce damage to the main body. If the aircraft falls in water, the aircraft can float on the water to avoid damage caused by sinking. As bulges protruding downwards are arranged at the bottoms of the airbags, in spraying operation, side wing can be relatively well baffled by the bulges in case of side wing blowing in the flying process, resulting in less droplets draft.
