Estimation And Analysis Of Performance, Stability And Control For Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (Uav) Tamingsari Using Semiempirical Method.
Masters thesis, Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Abstract
This thesis gives deep insight on the estimation and analysis of flight performance, stability and control derivatives particularly for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), based on semiempirical methods. UAV is airplane that have no human onboard, but rather are flown autonomously or piloted remotely. It is commonly used in many countries to develop tasks such as surveillance, research or combat due to its autonomy of flight. UAV Tamingsari was selected to be a research case, which belong to the School of Aerospace Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia. The results obtained from semiempirical methods have been validated by Advance Aircraft Analysis (AAA) computational software as a tool to check the validity. The validation results of UAV Tamingsari have shown good agreement for most of the parameters analyzed. In this manner, the results showed that the semiempirical methods provide good prediction of aerodynamics, flight performance, stability and control derivatives for UAV Tamingsari due to its approximate geometry inputs, which used to evaluate the UAV configuration.
