Quad Tilt Wing VTOL UAV: Aerodynamic Characteristics and Prototype Flight
A QTW VTOL UAV, featured tandem tilt wings and propellers mounted at the mid-span of each wing, is one of the most promising UAV configurations having both a VTOL capability and high cruise performance. A small prototype QTW UAV has been constructed to prove the concept and full transition between vertical and horizontal flight has been successfully demonstrated under remote manual control. The...
متن کاملAerodynamic Design Optimization Studies of a Blended-Wing-Body Aircraft
Abstract The blended-wing body is an aircraft configuration that has the potential to be more efficient than conventional large transport aircraft configurations with the same capability. However, the design of the blended-wing is challenging due to the tight coupling between aerodynamic performance, trim, and stability. Other design challenges include the nature and number of the design variab...
متن کاملTransition Flight of Quad Tilt Wing Vtol Uav
The QTW VTOL UAV, which features tandem tilt wings with propellers mounted at the mid-span of each wing, is one of the most promising UAV configurations, having both VTOL capability and high cruise performance. A six-degree-of-freedom dynamic simulation model covering the full range of the QTW flight envelope was developed and a flight control system including a transition schedule and a stabil...
متن کاملRANS-based Aerodynamic Shape Optimization of a Blended-Wing-Body Aircraft
A series of RANS-based aerodynamic shape optimization for an 800-passenger blended-wing-body aircraft is performed. A gradient-based optimization algorithm and a parallel structured multiblock RANS solver with Spalart–Allmaras turbulence model are used. The derivatives are computed using a discrete adjoint method considering both frozen-turbulence and full-turbulence assumptions. A total of 274...
متن کاملThe T-Wing: A VTOL UAV for Defense and Civilian Applications
This paper describes progress made on the T-Wing tail-sitter UAV programme currently being undertaken via a collaborative research agreement between Sonacom Pty Ltd and the University of Sydney. This vehicle is being developed in response to a perceived requirement for a more flexible surveillance and remote sensing platform than is currently available. Missions for such a platform include coas...
