Description

Aircraft flight airspace approval method, approval system and aircraft

technical field

The invention belongs to the field of aircraft, and in particular relates to an aircraft flight airspace approval method, an approval system and an aircraft.

Background technique

As the technology of small and micro unmanned aerial vehicles matures day by day, the concept of drones has gradually become popular. However, in fact, the so-called drones are mainly divided into two major directions, one is military drones, and the other is civilian drones.

Military drones require high flying altitude, large combat radius, long battery life, and strong load capacity. Therefore, military drones basically use fixed-wing aircraft, and are controlled by ultra-long-range, over-the-horizon wireless communication.

Civilian drones require low cost, safe and reliable flight, and easy operation. Therefore, civilian drones are basically based on multi-rotor aircraft, and are realized through intelligent settings such as control within the line of sight and automatic hovering when you let go.

With the maturity of civilian drones, that is, the technology of small and micro unmanned aerial vehicles and the reduction of costs, the flight altitude of small and micro unmanned aerial vehicles begins to overlap with the flight airspace of some low-altitude fixed-wing aircraft and even general-navigation aircraft. This also brings hidden dangers to flight safety.

Especially for a manned civil aviation aircraft, if it collides with a small unmanned aerial vehicle in the air, it may lead to unimaginably serious consequences.

Recently, as the threshold for entry and use of small and micro unmanned aerial vehicles has become lower and lower, it has begun to occur frequently. Users of small and micro unmanned aerial vehicles use aircraft to fly to extremely high altitudes around the airport and pose a threat to civil aviation behavior. situation.

Correspondingly, government authorities and relevant personnel in the industry have been calling for the implementation of a real-name system for the use of small and micro unmanned aerial vehicles, and the management of their flight behavior. A typical management method is the flight airspace application system, which requires users of unmanned aerial vehicles to apply for flight airspace to a unified competent authority before using the unmanned aerial vehicle to take off. Report to the competent authority and obtain flight approval.

However, even in the world, there is no uniform standard for the airspace approval of small and micro unmanned aerial vehicles. For example, in the United States, UAVs of different weights and types are first distinguished, and the flight approval standards for different UAVs are different. Even some ultra-small UAVs that fly within visual range do not need approval.

So if extremely strict airspace approval is implemented in China, it will directly affect the development of ultra-small unmanned aerial vehicle technology within the navigable range; but if there is no flight airspace approval, it will be a kind of life under all airspace. Irresponsibility for personal safety.

An airspace management system disclosed in patent document CN106448271 A includes: a flight data receiving module, used to receive current flight data sent by unmanned aerial vehicles connected to the system; a first judgment module, used to judge based on the current flight data Whether the UAV is flying legally; a notification sending module, configured to send illegal information indicating that the UAV is flying illegally to the first user equipment UE associated with the UAV flying illegally. This patent realizes the supervision and control of UAV flight and reduces the illegal flight of UAV. However, this patent is only a reminder and management during or after the event, and cannot be pre-approved.

This patent shortens the time for approval, reduces the consumption of human resources, and improves operational efficiency. However, this patent is only for a small range of single-type unmanned aerial vehicles. Approval of take-off applications for complex situations of aircraft and users with different levels of experience.

Patent document CN105262784 A discloses a network-based UAV flight monitoring method including: the autopilot or controller carried by the UAV keeps the UAV in a locked or restricted automatic control loop state; The airborne communication module carried by the UAV communicates with the monitoring server through the network, and sends airspace application and flight record information to the monitoring server; the UAV receives airspace information from the monitoring server through the network. Application approval information and/or flight assistance information; and when the airspace application approval information is passed, the aircraft unlocks or removes the automatic control loop restriction; wherein, the network is the Internet, and the monitoring server has a network IP address . The patent utilizes automatic access to the UAV monitoring server through the network before take-off for airspace application submission and flight filing; the flight supervision department can monitor the flight of UAVs through the network, but the patent is only for a small range of single types of unmanned aerial vehicles. Aircraft take-off applications cannot be approved for take-off applications for multiple types of unmanned aerial vehicles and complex situations of different levels of users in the airspace under large-scale and complex conditions.
