Aircraft

Abstract

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes: a body including a nose and a tail opposite to the nose; a plurality of rotor devices respectively mounted on the body; and a rear obstacle avoidance sensor mounted on a top part of the body, the UAV has a backward flight state of flying in a direction towards the tail and a hover state of stably hovering in a wind-free environment; in the hover state, the body is tilted in a length direction relative to a horizontal direction, so that the nose is higher than the tail; the optical axis of the rear obstacle avoidance sensor is tilted at a greater angle relative to the horizontal direction when the UAV is in the hover state compared to the backward flight state. It can improve the flight efficiency, enhance the overall obstacle avoidance function, and improve the flight experience.
