Abstract

Miniature unmanned aerial vehicle (MAV) is more and more widely used in daily life. The small size of MAVs brings them many advantages like high portability and manoeuvrability. MAVs are playing important roles in many aspects because of their own catachrestic and advantages. There are many kinds of MAVs such as single-rotor MAV, multi-rotor MAV, fixed-wing MAV and bionic MAV. Each of them has its own advantages and drawbacks. The applications of them are decided by these characteristics. In order to better design MAV, in this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of the MAVs are analysed. The four most common kinds of MAVs are discussed in this paper. They have differences in structure and characteristics. The differences between these aspects are displayed in this paper. The suitable application scenario for each kind of MAV is provided based on its own peformance characteristics. This paper may offer a reference for MAV design.
