Solar energy is an effective energy solution in the future of unmanned aerial vehicles, and solar energy unmanned aerial vehicles with ultra-long endurance convert light energy into electric energy by utilizing solar cells, wherein one part of the solar energy is used for daytime cruising, the other part of the solar energy is stored in an energy storage system and used for night cruising, and the bottleneck of 'permanent' flight which cannot be realized by conventional unmanned aerial vehicles is broken theoretically, so that the solar unmanned aerial vehicle becomes a hot spot for unmanned aerial vehicle field research in recent years. The unmanned aerial vehicle has the characteristics of no pollution and long navigation time, and can be widely applied to the military and civil fields of earth observation, air early warning, reconnaissance monitoring, communication relay and the like. Compared with a satellite, the satellite has the advantages of small signal transmission loss and high precision, can realize permanent residence of a target area, has no problem of a reentry cycle, and has low production and operation cost; compared with the traditional aircraft, the aircraft has wide coverage area and long air-time; compared with aerostat, the aerostat has good operability and strong maneuverability. In future war, the solar unmanned aerial vehicle with ultra-long endurance plays an important role in space attack and defense and information countermeasure, becomes an important supplement for air strength, and further promotes the integrated development of air and sky.
However, the solar unmanned aerial vehicle under research at present is a fixed wing type, and cannot realize vertical take-off, landing and hovering; at present, a four-axis tilting rotor aircraft generally adopts a fuel engine, and long-endurance flight cannot be realized.

The three-section wing comprises a main wing arranged in the middle and two ailerons symmetrically arranged on two sides of the main wing. The wing tip winglet is arranged at two ends of the three-section wing.
The three-section wing adopts a frame structure, and the frame is made of carbon fibers, so that the structural strength is ensured, and the weight is reduced. Different from the straight wings of the traditional solar unmanned aerial vehicle, the three-section wing is formed by splicing wings with two chord length sizes, the structure is more compact, and the structural strength can be more fully utilized.
