摘要
The advantages offered by the FanWing and its application for militray operations are discussed. The FanWing uses a large bladed rotor lying on a horizontal axis with the front of the thick wing, connected to an engine, rotates and sucking in air, which greatly increases the lift and allow the model to carry twice its own bodyweight. Its slow-flight regime makes it a cost-effective alternative to helicopters for law enforcemnt and surveillance. The slow speed of the FanWing and its impressive lift capability and gust-resistance makes it ideal for civil, paramilitary and military requirments.
