Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has an internal combustion engine (19), and a fuel and lubrication system comprising a fuelling system (21) for fuelling the engine (19) and a lubrication system (23) for delivering lubricating oil to the engine (19). The fuelling system (21) comprises a fuel reservoir (25) from which fuel can be delivered to the engine (19). The fuel reservoir (25) comprises a main tank (41) and a header tank (43). The lubrication system (23) comprises an oil tank (31). The oil tank (31) is accommodated internally within the main tank (41) to provide an integrated assembly (33). The arrangement provides for warming of lubrication oil for the UAV engine using several available heat sources. Further, the arrangement facilitates a configuration and layout intended to minimise or negate any undesirable moments of inertia for the UAV 0 during flight as fuel and oil is consumed. 本文公开了种无人机(UAV)，其具有内燃机(19)以及燃油和润滑系统，所述燃油和润滑系统包括用于为所述发动机(19)供给燃油的燃油供给系统(21)和用于输送润滑油至所述发动机(19)的润滑系统(23)。所述燃油供给系统(21)包括燃油容器(2
