Design & Simulation of an UAV Aircraft
This project details in a simplified way the conceptual design of a mini unmanned aircraft from the definition of its configuration and geometry; making use of the aerodynamic and stability theory to determine its longitudinal and lateral dynamic response by calculating the stability derivatives and transfer function in order to obtain its response to disturbances.
The project then consisted of designing a mini fixed-wing aircraft, calculating the position and size of the control surfaces, determine its stability derivatives and simulate the dynamics of the aircraft using MATLAB & Simulink.
Requirements:
- Design a mini UAV type fixed wing aircraft
- Determine the position and size of the control surfaces necessary for their performance
- Calculate the derivatives of the stability of the aircraft
- Determine the aircraft's polar
- Simulate the lateral and longitudinal directional dynamics using the MATLAB & Simulink
