The marine technical team of Shanghai Jiaotong University developed the "Nezha III (vertical fixed-wing)" sea and air cross-domain unmanned vehicle

Recently, Associate Researcher Zeng Zheng of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Oceanography and Lv Chenxin, a master student co-supervised by Professor Lian Lian, published an article entitled "Toward a Gliding Hybrid Aerial Underwater Vehicle: Design, Fabrication, and Experiments" in the Journal of Field Robotics online

Concept diagram of the full task process of the multi-mode sea-air cross-domain vehicle

Schematic diagram of the principle of the buoyancy attitude coupling adjustment system

Design constraint analysis diagram of amphibious airfoil

The new concept sea-air cross-domain unmanned vehicle is a highly maneuverable cross-media delivery platform that can travel through the air, water and underwater

"Nezha III (hanging fixed-wing type)" was tested in Qiandao Lake

Observation data of temperature profile in a water area of ​​Qiandao Lake

"Nezha III (vertical fixed-wing)" underwater heading adjustment track

In recent years, the research group has iteratively developed a variety of "Nezha" prototypes

The article also reports in detail the results of the lake test of the prototype.
