  1. 16. Design of a drone system for maritime search and rescue missions

    University essay from KTH/Flygdynamik

    Author : Emil Pettersson; [2020]
    Keywords : Sea Rescue; Drone; Flying Wing; Blended Wing Body; SAR; Tailless; BWB; XFLR5; Search and Rescue; Drönare; Flygande Vinge; Sjöräddning; Eftersök; XFLR5;

    Abstract : The work summarized in this report aims to investigate how a drone airplane design can be optimized to create a safer and more efficient sea rescue by providing staff with an early picture, performing search missions and aiding communication through visual contact. A flying wing is in theory one of the most efficient designs for a fixed wing aircraft, at the same time as it also offers high structural efficiency for its given size. READ MORE

  4. 18. Robust control system development forVTOL-to-fixed wing flight transition withthe EcoSoar UAV : A masters thesis in Automatic Control

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Robert Hedman; [2020]
    Keywords : drone; UAV; thesis; automatic; control; VTOL;

    Abstract : A non switching, non linear, quaternion based attitude P2 controller, together with a sensitivitynormalizing function for the control surfaces has been simulated and implemented on a flying fixedwing with non vectored engines. In simulations the controller worked well in all flight modes,hovering, transition and flying, and also rejected a simple wind disturbance in all modes. READ MORE

  5. 19. Modelling and Simulation of a Propulsive Hybridisation for a Light Fixed-wing Aircraft

    University essay from KTH/Flygdynamik

    Author : Axel Yezeguelian; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Propulsive hybridisation fits in with the sustainable development policies of many companies which are part of the transportation industry. Actually, it makes it possible either to reduce fuel consumption or to improve the aircraft performance at a fixed fuel burn. READ MORE
