Design and aerodynamic analysis of a vtol tilt-wing uav

  • (a) VTOL components: lifting propeller-engine system -1, wing console -2, payload compartment -3, central section -4, GPS antenna -5, automatic control system -6, pusher propeller -7, empennage -8, control and telemetry channel -9, twin-boom tail -10, battery compartment -11; (b) The in-flight view.

  • How does VTOL UAV work?

    To achieve this, VTOL drones use a combination of fixed-wing and rotary-wing technology.
    The fixed-wing portion of the design helps to provide lift, while the rotary-wing portion provides the thrust necessary for takeoff and landing..

  • What is the aerodynamics effect of holes in UAV wings modified for VTOL capability?

    Even though the holes reduced the wing area by about 20%, the proposed modifications could lead to a lift to drag ratio around 7.
    The results showed that the new configurations can generate five times the lift compared to the drag, while the maximum lift to drag ratio dropped by 50% compared to the original design..

  • What is the VTOL tilt rotor mechanism?

    Tiltrotor design combines the VTOL capability of a helicopter with the speed and range of a conventional fixed-wing aircraft.
    For vertical flight, the rotors are angled so the plane of rotation is horizontal, generating lift the way a normal helicopter rotor does..

  • A VTOL is a UAV that is able to take off, hover and land vertically like a helicopter, thanks to rotors.
    This term applies to all multicopter drones and some hybrid fixed-wings.
In this study, the design and analysis of hovering controller of an UAV which is capable of doing vertical takeoff and landing using the fixed six rotors placed 

What is a custom tiltrotor VTOL UAV?

We discuss the design and modeling of a custom tiltrotor VTOL UAV, which is a combination of a fixed-wing aircraft and a quadrotor with tilting rotors, where the four propellers can be rotated individually

What is a tilt wing VTOL aircraft?

Tilt wing VTOL aircraft was designed and tested for feasibility, but various problems occurred to performance and controllability

A quadcopter is a well-researched type of VTOL due to its simple design and high agility

The conventional quadcopter has six degrees of freedom, three orientations, and three positions

What is the structural analysis of a hybrid tilt rotor UAV?

The structural analysis comprised calculating the shear forces and uniform distributed load on the wing of a hybrid tilt-rotor UAV

Wing design simulation was also done in Solidworks and CATIA

It is used for validation of the wing design and its structural integrity
