The name of the invention are an unmanned aerial vehicle and an associated method for reducing drag during flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The unmanned aerial vehicle comprises a frame elongated along a frame axis, the frame has a leading side and an aft side, the frame further includes a left end portion and a right end portion, a first forward rotor assembly connected to the left end portion of the frame, a second forward rotor assembly connected to the right end portion of the frame, the first forward rotor assembly and the second forward rotor assembly being positioned on the leading side of the frame, a compartment connected to the frame, the compartment having a leading side, and a curved leading-edge fairing disposed on the frame, wherein a portion of the curved leading-edge fairing extends to cover the leading side of the compartment, and wherein the curved leading-edge fairing reduces drag during flight in a forward direction to enable a substantially level flight profile.

    本发明的名称是无人机及减少无人机飞行期间阻力的相关方法。一种无人机,其包括沿机架轴线伸长的机架,机架具有前侧和后侧,机架进一步包括左端部和右端部;连接至机架的左端部的第一前旋翼组件;连接至机架的右端部的第二前旋翼组件,第一前旋翼组件和第二前旋翼组件位于机架的前侧;连接至机架的舱室,舱室具有前侧;以及设置在机架上的弧形前缘整流罩,其中弧形前缘整流罩的一部分延伸以覆盖舱室的前侧,并且其中弧形前缘整流罩可减少以向前方向飞行期间的阻力,以能够实现基本上水平的飞行轮廓。
