Numerical and Experimental UAV Structure Investigation by Pre-Flight Load Test

UAV Rendezvous: From Concept to Flight Test

The algorithms onboard Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are increasing in complexity and thus require a well established concept to flight test development process to accelerate deployment and avoid loss of aircraft. We present a modular multi-UAV algorithm development framework which combines design, simulation, performance evaluation and deployment in a single, high level graphical environment. The f...

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Air Temperature Distribution inside a Car under Solar Load Condition

In this work both experimental and numerical analysis are carried out to investigate the effect of solar radiation on the cabin air temperature of Maruti Suzuki Celerio car parked for 90 min under solar load condition. The experimental and numerical analysis encompasses on temperature increment of air at various locations ins...

Flight Simulation for the Development of an Experimental Uav

The use of flight simulation tools to reduce the schedule, risk, and required amount of flight testing for complex aerospace systems is a well-recognized benefit of these approaches. However, some special challenges arise when one attempts to obtain these benefits for the development and operation of an Experimental Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system. These types of UAV systems are charact...

Optimal Design of Bubble Eliminator by Numerical and Experimental Investigation

Air bubbles in working oil influence stiffness and efficiency of hydraulic systems, thus it is important for technical issues to eliminate the air bubbles actively from the hydraulic oil. Bubble eliminator is a device that removes air bubbles by using a swirling flow. In this paper, we investigate flow behavior in the bubble eliminator by means of laboratory experiments with a transparent bubbl...
