UNMANNED ROTORCRAFT, AND SURROUNDING OBJECT RANGING METHOD THEREOF
Provided are an unmanned rotorcraft and a surrounding object ranging method thereof, with which it is possible to prevent collisions between the body and surrounding objects during flight, and prevent the body from overturning when landing, while minimizing any increase in body cost. The present invention solves the problem through an unmanned rotorcraft and a surrounding object ranging method thereof, in which: a distance sensor is provided for measuring the distance between the body and surrounding objects; the distance sensor and the detection direction thereof are secured in the body; and the body is automatically rotated in the yaw direction on the basis of a prescribed condition, whereby surrounding objects near the body are observed and noted, or the difference in height between the landing points of the legs of the body is measured.
Provided is a multicopter with which it is possible to minimize the occurrence of the vortex ring state in rotor blades, and to control lift and thrust efficiently and with a high degree of precision. This multicopter comprises a plurality of rotor blades positioned in a radial manner with respect to a frame, wherein at least one of the plurality of rotor blades is equipped with a cylindrical duct that surrounds the periphery of the rotor blade, and the duct is formed in a shape such that the flow of air from the intake side to the exhaust side of the rotor blade is uneven in the circumferential direction of the duct.
