Abstract

When designing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), it is
taken into consideration that certain features are met. In some UAVs, models
are designed according to the maximum speeds that can be reached, while in
others, they are designed according to the maximum lifting forces. In this
study, flight parameters were calculated by aerodynamic analysis performed in
an analysis program in order to reach the maximum range of a designed UAV and
then the UAV was produced. During the aerodynamic analysis, first the wing profile
and then the whole body were analyzed. As a result of the analyzes, the most
suitable angle of attack for minimum power requirement and maximum range was
obtained as 12° and 8°, respectively.

Dikey İniş Kalkış Yapabilen Bir İHA’nın Azami Menzili ve Asgari Güç Gereksinimi İçin En Uygun Uçuş Parametrelerinin Belirlenmesi

Abstract

İnsansız hava araçları tasarlanırken bir
takım özelliklerin karşılanması göz önünde bulundurulur. Bazı insansız hava
araçlarında ulaşılabilecek maksimum hızlara göre modeller tasarlanırken
bazılarında ise maksimum taşıma kuvvetlerinin oluşması istenebilir. Bu
çalışmada tasarımı yapılmış bir insansız hava aracının maksimum menzile
ulaşabilmesi için uçuş parametreleri bir analiz programında yapılan aerodinamik
analiz yardımı ile hesaplanmış ve ardından İHA’nın üretimi yapılmıştır.
Aerodinamik analizler yapılırken öncelikle kanat profilinin daha sonra tüm
gövdenin analizi yapılmıştır.
