Design Methods For Remotely Powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, William Beaman Howe
Design Methods For Remotely Powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, William Beaman Howe
Master's Theses
A method for sizing remotely powered unmanned aerial vehicles is presented to augment the conventional design process. This method allows for unconventionally powered aircraft to become options in trade studies during the initial design phase. A design matrix is created that shows where, and if, a remotely powered vehicle fits within the design space. For given range and power requirements, the design matrix uses historical data to determine whether an internal combustion or electrical system would be most appropriate. Trends in the historical data show that the break in the design space between the two systems is around 30 miles …
