Simulation on the Distribution of Forces under the UAV’s Specific Profiles

Abstract:

The UAV prototype flight unit for monitoring the natural environment has imposed a number of corrections on the shape and size of the external configuration, stability in flight and trying different types of propeller and engine drive. For different types of propeller tested, the static pressure distributions were determined for different values of the forces on the device body. Simulations of flow and pressure distributions have led to an analysis of differences between the forces created in three different cases imposed by the diameter propeller airflow created by the device.
