  2. Team MUAV2

  3. The Project • Goals: To design and manufacture a relatively cheap, feasible and revolutionary aircraft with versatile control capabilities. • Flight • Lift off & Landing • Propulsion for added flight time • Stability & Control • Powerful Maneuverability • Air Flow through counter-rotating ducted fans • Gear & Cam System • Wireless/Remote Control System • User Friendly GUI • - Integration of Electronic Devices

  4. Limitations • Monetary • - Knowledge & Experience • - Facilities (construction & testing) • - TIME

  5. Current Project Status • As of this date, we feel that we have studied the pros and cons of different MUAV designs enough to decide on a particular design. • This design is to be considered our current Frozen design. • We have purchased the pusher and tractor props for the MUAV and will be obtaining our engine within this week. • We are currently working towards developing a complete mathematical analysis of each sub-assembly. • This is to enable us to understand the innermost working of the different assemblies.

  14. (m, U, p, A)1 3 4 (m, U, p, A)4 Central Fan Assembly - CFA Basic Principles and Assumptions • Isentropic Flow • Incompressible Flow (except at fan) • MUAV is moving at relatively low speeds • Exit flow exhausts to ambient pressure • Change in temperature is negligible • Change in height is negligible • There is no heat addition Control Volume 1 2

  15. Conclusion • By substituting equation (8) into equation (5) for V4 we get thrust as a function of power, if the density, exit area and mass flow rate are known. (9)

  26. Rear Fan Assembly - RFA • The length and rudder curvature calculations were performed on the semi-cylindrical portion of the external add-on duct. • Using the three point form of the equation of a plane, the equation of the frustrum is derived to be  hx + rz = 0 • Finally parametrizing the curve and placing the curved surface such that it is located in a amore convenient plane, we get:

  27. Rear Fan Assembly - RFA L • The length of the tongue (measured down the center of the face) could then be obtained by setting t = r. Further calculations would provide the best duct to rudder fit contour to prevent the loss of thrust due to loss of air moving through the rudder cross-section.

  28. Landing Gear Assembly - LGA • Engine Support • Holds the engine in place • Prevents vibration • 222 Fiberglass Composite • 1/4 “ Foam Core • Attached to vehicle with strong composite adhesive
