| description | Hybrid Aerial Underwater Vehicles (HAUVs), capable of operating effectively in both aerial and underwater environments, offer promising solutions for a wide range of applications. This paper presents the design and development of a novel foldable wing HAUV, detailing the overall structural framework and key design considerations. We employed fluid simulation software to perform comprehensive hydrodynamic and aerodynamic analyses, simulating the vehicle’s behavior during aerial flight, underwater navigation, water entry and exit, and surface gliding. The motion characteristics under different speed and angle conditions were analyzed. Additionally, a physical prototype was constructed, and experimental tests were conducted to evaluate its performance in both aerial and underwater environments. The experimental results confirmed the vehicle’s ability to seamlessly transition between air and water, demonstrating its viability for dual-environment operations. |
