With the rapid development of technology, longitudinal close-range flight recovery / the scenario of application in quadrotor flying, the aerodynamic stability and the position control of the UAV are crucial. This essay systematically examines quadcopters, detailing their classification, aerodynamic principles, control system architecture, and formation flight strategies in complex environments. It highlights the stability and broad applicability of quadcopters among various UAV types, analyzes their propeller configuration and force balance mechanisms, explains control system functionalities, and explores turbulence mitigation techniques for formation operations. The study also summarizes current research achievements and limitations in near-field flight stabilization, providing comprehensive references for future technological advancements to advance controllable and stable close-range UAV flight technology. This research is critical for improving the safety and reliability of UAVs in critical applications such as logistics, surveillance, and disaster response. In addition, this research lays the theoretical and practical groundwork for the future realization of smarter, coordinated and robust aerial systems.
