Dirigible UAV Power Plant Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dirigibles have the ability to take off and land vertically, hover and maintain lift without consuming energy and can be easily deflated for packaging and transportation. As such, dirigibles are well suited for surveillance and surveyance missions such as rescue and aid operations after disasters. This paper reviews hybrid dirigible UAV design considerations and presents a novel hybrid power plant design. The hybrid power plant design consists of a 2-stroke 4cc glow engine in-line with a brushless DC motor/generator and variable pitch propeller capable of producing a maximum power output of 148.4W.

Throughput Maximization for Multi-Slot Data Transmission via Two-Hop DF SWIPT-Based UAV System
In this paper, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assisted cooperative communication system is studied, wherein a source transmits information to the destination through an energy harvesting decode-and-forward UAV. It is assumed that the UAV can freely move in between the source-destination pair to set up line of sight communications with the both nodes. Since the battery of the UAV may be limite...
متن کاملUAV cooperative data processing using distributed computing platform
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are being increasingly used in growing number of applications. The use of single vehicle is often not enough due to various limitations, such as available power or sensors installed. Therefore the UAVs are formed into cooperative teams that operate as the distributed processing system realizing the given mission with one or more objectives (tasks) defined. The key...

With the diversity of mission capability and the associated requirement for more advanced technologies, designing modern unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems is an especially challenging task. In particular, the increasing reliance on the electrical power system for delivering key aircraft functions, both electrical and mechanical, requires that a systems-approach be employed in their developm...
متن کاملCapacity of UAV-Enabled Multicast Channel: Joint Trajectory Design and Power Allocation
This paper studies an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled multicast channel, in which a UAV serves as a mobile transmitter to deliver common information to a set of K ground users. We aim to characterize the capacity of this channel over a finite UAV communication period, subject to its maximum speed constraint and an average transmit power constraint. To achieve the capacity, the UAV should ...
متن کاملDetection of Power-lines in Complex Natural Surroundings
Power transmission line inspection using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) is taking off as an exciting solution due to advances in sensors and flight technology. Extracting power-lines from aerial images, taken from the UAV, having complex natural surroundings is a critical task in the above problem. In this paper we propose an approach for suppressing natural surrounding that leads to power line...
