Periodic Optimal Flight of Solar Aircraft with Unlimited Endurance Performance
Solar aircraft offer the possibility of an unlimited endurance. This can be achieved if the energy required for the flight at night is stored in batteries. The goal of an unlimited endurance performance is treated as a trajectory optimization problem. This is a problem of periodic optimal flight because the trajectory is repeated after a complete day-night cycle. A trajectory optimization is pe...
متن کاملQuad 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 کاملNonlinear attitude and gyroscope's bias estimation for a VTOL UAV
This paper addresses the problem of attitude and heading restitution for a VTOL UAV. We describe an observation strategy to restitute the complete attitude matrix of the vehicle starting from Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and magnetometers. This study is a part of the development of the ducted fan UAV designed by Bertin Technologies. First, a measured orientation matrix is calculated from bot...
متن کاملDesign Methodology of a Hybrid Propulsion Driven Electric Powered Miniature Tailsitter Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Contrary to the manned tailsitter aircraft concepts, which have been shelved and forgotten after mid 1960’s, the unmanned versions of these concepts have become popular. Since, tailsitter type UAVs combine both vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) operation and relatively high speed cruise flight capabilities which provide manifest advantages over the other VTOL aircraft concepts, including heli...
متن کاملHybrid Propulsion System Design of a VTOL Tailsitter UAV
Tailsitter UAVs with their combined vertical take off and landing (VTOL) and fixed-wing aircraft with full flightspeed regime capability provides a distinct alternative to rotary-wing and ducted fan UAVs (OAVs). ITU-BYU Tailsitter concept aims to obtain the energy efficient regimes across the VTOL and the cruising flight regimes. This paper describes the hybrid propulsion system design approach...
