  • Publication number: 20240409129
    Abstract: A head propeller of the flying vehicle compresses incoming flow at a vehicle head inside an upper duct to a lower duct through an air suction channel. A portion of airflow is compressed to the lower duct through the air suction channel under an action of a guide plate and a vehicle body propeller. A bottom propeller of the flying vehicle compresses an airflow into pressure bins of the lower duct at a lower portion through the air suction channel. A sealing state of the pressure bins of the lower duct is destroyed. High-pressure airflow inside the lower duct is jetted out from an air outlet channel to the upper duct. A tail propeller guides the airflow to the tail portion of the vehicle body. The upper duct and the lower duct are constructed inside the pipeline, so a running resistance of the flying vehicle is reduced.

  • Patent number: 12152977
    Abstract: A method for combined characterization of pore structure includes steps as follows. Firstly, CO2, N2 and high-pressure mercury intrusion porosimetry characterization curves are plotted based on actual measurement data, then, average values of the overlapping range of the CO2 and N2 characterization curves are calculated, and a function yi?=ƒ(x) is fitted. Each pore volume yi? corresponding to each pore diameter xi is calculated, and a curve is plotted with xi as a horizontal coordinate and yi? as a vertical coordinate, thereby obtaining a characterization curve of the overlapping range between CO2 and N2 adsorptions. The same data processing is used to process the overlapping range data of the N2 and high-pressure mercury intrusion porosimetry characterization curves, to obtain the characterization curve between them. The characterization curves are spliced with the original CO2, N2, and high-pressure mercury intrusion porosimetry characterization curves to obtain a combined characterization curve.
