Patent attributes
To provide an unmanned aerial vehicle that can allow its airframe to approach a structure surface safely and is able to move on a surface of the structure, while keeping a constant clearance between the structure surface and the airframe. This is solved by an manned aerial vehicle including one or a plurality of rotors and a plurality of rotating bodies having one or more driving sources, wherein at least a part of each of the rotating bodies in their rotational radius direction extends forth on an air intake side of the rotors relative to a position of rotational planes of the rotors, and negative pressure produced on the air intake side of the rotors causes the airframe to adhere by suction to a structure surface, and in this state, by driving the plurality of rotating bodies, the vehicle is enabled to travel on the surface.
