The ability to fast climb and descend is crucial for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications in the mountains. The slower descent speed will affect the UAV’s working efficiency in reaching the rescue area. However, during the fast descent of the rotorcraft, a chaotic flow field rampages as the rotorcraft falls into its wake flow. This is known as the vortex ring. Therefore, the safe descent vel...
