  • Patent number: 11091249
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of aircraft technologies, and provide an unmanned aerial vehicle including an unmanned aerial vehicle body and a landing gear. The landing gear is entirely accommodated in the unmanned aerial vehicle body when being in a folded state. When being folded, the landing gear in the present invention is entirely accommodated in the unmanned aerial vehicle body, and therefore neither causes unnecessary resistance in air nor blocks an aerial photographing field of view in an aerial photographing process of the unmanned aerial vehicle. In addition, when the unmanned aerial vehicle is not in use, the landing gear is accommodated in the unmanned aerial vehicle body, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle is very compact in structure and easy to accommodate and carry.
