Abstract
Due to their demonstrated advantages of precision, efficiency, and low cost in disaster relief and commercial logistics, airdrop-capable unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are rapidly becoming pivotal tools in modern delivery systems. This paper proposes a novel airdrop-capable UAV with foldable wings. To address the requirements for high-precision deployment and parachute cut-off, a 10-degree-of-freedom (10-DOF) multibody dynamics model of the parachute-UAV system is established based on Kane’s equations. The solution process incorporates sixth-order vibration equations to characterize the system’s rigid-flexible coupling effects, precisely capturing the motion trajectories under varying initial deployment parameters (initial velocity, parachute diameter). To comparatively analyze the trajectory curves derived from fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation and to validate the model’s…
