Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a thrust generation apparatus for an unmanned aerial vehicle such as a drone, and more specifically, to a low-noise thrust generation apparatus which generates a similar level of thrust as a typical propeller unmanned aerial vehicle while generating less noise, and an unmanned aerial vehicle comprising same.
Claims16
A low-noise thrust generation apparatus, comprising:
- an air duct that is formed in a ring shape or an oval shape or a track shape, has a first air flow path formed inside, and includes an injection port communicating with the first air flow path and formed on an inner wall surface to inject air supplied to the first air flow path downward;
- and
- an air guide that has a second air flow path formed inside to be communicated with the first air flow path, and coupled with the air duct to transmit air introduced into the second air flow path to the first air flow path.
