Aerodynamic Analysis of UAVs. MFD Nimbus
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
The robotic airborne systems have undergone a rapid development due to information requirements with data from areas of interest and technological miniaturization. Although these aerial systems have high capabilities, they are used for specific missions and limited to atmospheric factors. The performance and technical-tactical characteristics of an air vector depend directly on aerodynamics, the reliability of systems and the human factor and on the influence of disruptive factors. At global level, the aerial systems have 6 missions (surveillance, detection, classification, identification, tracking and neutralization) that can be accomplished at different operational levels depending on the aerodynamic and technical tactical features. The article includes a series of flight performance analyses for Nimbus MFD, 2D profile and 3D analysis of the entire aircraft without the interference generated by the propeller.

Theoretical View of Some Current Global Security Challenges
As the new millennium starts to unfold, we see before us an area of security that has been radically reshaped since the end of the cold war and the end bipolar division of the world. Deepening globalization brings not on...
Experimental Methods for UAV Aerodynamic and Propulsion Performance Assessment
This paper presents an experimental method for assessing the performances and the propulsion power of a UAV in several points based on telemetry. The points in which we make the estimations are chosen based on several cr...
Hover flight control of helicopter using optimal control theory
This paper represents the optimal control theory and its application to the full scale helicopters. Generally the control of a helicopter is a hard task, because its system is very nonlinear, coupled and sensitive to the...
The analysis of the process tending towards equilibrium in transitional and turbulent wall flows
Starting from the integro-differential formulation (IDF) [1], [2] of the basic conservation equations in wall flows, the authors perform a qualitative analysis of the microscopic-macroscopic domain. According to IDF, the...
Lamb Waves Tunning On Aluminium Plates for Structure Health Monitoring
The method for defects detection inside the mechanical structures, namely aerospace structures, using the Lamb waves is widespread because of its benefits: it is nondestructive, may reveal the presence and size of defect...
