Abstract

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) including a vehicle body and an airflow thruster is provided. The vehicle body has a center hub, an airflow guiding structure and an outer circumferential portion. An interior of the airflow guiding structure is interconnected between the center hub and the outer circumferential portion. The center hub has an airflow inlet. The outer circumferential portion has a plurality of lateral guiding outlets facing downward and corresponding to a gravity direction of the gravity direction of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The airflow thruster is disposed inside the center hub for generating a plurality of jet streams, such that the jet streams flow to the lateral guiding outlets through the airflow guiding structure to generate a propulsion.
