The invention discloses a rope-driven variable strut autonomous aerial refueling taper sleeve which comprises a taper sleeve shell, a fairing and a drag parachute, the taper sleeve shell serves as a middle connecting and supporting structure, a plurality of variable strut main rods are arranged on the taper sleeve shell, the variable strut main rods are connected with variable strut push rods in a sliding mode, and the variable strut push rods are connected with the fairing. The variable strut push rod is connected with the drag parachute through the controllable rib plate, the inner strut and the outer strut. The taper sleeve drives the configuration of the supporting column to change through the tying rope, the appearance and the windward area of the drag parachute surface are changed, so that aerodynamic force distribution of the taper sleeve is affected, autonomous stability and maneuvering within a certain range are achieved in the environment of a complex flow field in combination with winding and unwin
