Selection of parameters of the aircraft on solar energy under the scheme "flying wing"
Journal Title: Механіка гіроскопічних систем - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 36
Abstract
The aircraft on solar energy has features that distinguish it from traditional ones. To accommodate solar cells, aerodynamic surfaces of the aircraft are used, usually a wing, a horizontal feather, a fuselage. The effectiveness of using aerodynamic surfaces for the installation of solar cells affects the amount of energy received. An aircraft of this type can be built on the basis of various aerodynamic schemes: the classic, tandem, flying wing, etc. The choice of the aerodynamic scheme and parameters of the aircraft is a complex task, which can be solved taking into account the characteristic geometry of a particular aerodynamic scheme, the operational features of solar panels and the conditions imposed by the technical task on the aircraft. In the work the author proposed a method for selecting the design parameters of an unmanned aerial vehicle flying wing on the basis of certain geometric, mass and energy criteria. As a result of the performed work, the design parameters of an unmanned aerial vehicle on solar energy were obtained according to the scheme of the flying wing, taking into account the similarity criteria: geometrical, mass and energy. The obtained characteristics of the aircraft are as close as possible to the characteristics of aircraft of other aerodynamic layouts designed earlier. The mass, geometric parameters of the glider in general, the arrangement of solar cells on the wing, the geometric parameters of the wing, and their influence on the flow efficiency and handling of the APL are determined.
