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.
