Design and CFD Analysis of A Low-Altitude VTOL UAV
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
In this study, in order to develop a vertical take-off and landing modular body platform that meets take-off and speed performance, each mission file was prepared for conventional take-off (CTOL) and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) based on the design requirements. The conceptual design took the basic shape and, in the first place, estimated the initial weight of the aircraft components and the entire BOM. After reflecting the components and weights applied to the drones in the design, the main wing shape design, weight center and neutral point prediction, and thrust system design were performed using XFLR5. ANSYS Workbench V14.5 was used for CFD analysis of the aircraft and ICEM-CFD was used as a program to generate Hybrid Mesh (Hexa Mesh & Prism Mesh). Through analytical techniques, the airfoil used for the main wing was designed as NACA4412 and the tail wing was designed as the V-Tail type, which minimizes the aft effects of the thrust device, and the basic airfoil of the tail wing for stability was selected as NACA0009. Because the droneapplied in this study must have the ability to make both a vertical take-off and a horizontal flight, the N. P. position designed in flight mode and the distance of each rotor of the quadrotor are similarly designed
