China National Radio Huzhou News on August 10 (Reporter Xiang Nan) "The current application of drones is relatively independent. We are now trying to combine it with traditional culture to make it more 'vital'." Recently, at the Zhejiang University Huzhou Research Institute located in the South Taihu New District of Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, Zhejiang University doctoral student Wen Xiangyong and his team members are busy giving vitality to a "dragon" so that it can fly "independently" in the sky. "Manual remote control may be relatively simple, but we want it to fly completely autonomously, which is still quite difficult."

Wen Xiangyong told reporters that the biggest difficulty in making a 20-meter-long "dragon" fly by installing a drone into the "dragon head" is the uncertainty of wind resistance. "The main reason is that after taking off, the direction of the wind force on the dragon's tail cannot be estimated, so we need to design some special algorithms to avoid the interference of wind force and make it fly better."

Wen Xiangyong introduced that after nearly three months of exploration and experimentation, the completion rate of this project has reached about 60-70%. The team has also roughly solved the remaining related problems, which urgently need further exploration and verification. "We are still looking forward to our 'dragon' taking off and empowering the development of local cultural tourism industry."
