Design of Airship for Aerial Surveillance and Communication Using Knowledge Based Engineering
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Design and development of Airships is receiving attention over past 5 years. The present paper deals with the design of an airship that could be hovered for long periods to provide aerial survey and also to act as an intermediate link between two commutation stations operating on low range communication Systems and interruptions in data acquisition. Existing designs and fabrication techniques were first reviewed. Then, the design was carried out based on the requirements. The emphasis of design was laid on minimum operation and low maintenance cost design. The model was then designed in CATIA and analyzed in ANSYS. The results showed good aerodynamic performance of the airship. The airship prototype was made using 3D printing.
