  1. 6. Electrical Propulsion System Design of a Blended Wing Body UAV

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Kevin Azad; Felix Fungula; [2022]
    Keywords : Aerospace; Aviation; Blended Wing Body; Electrical; Green Raven; Propeller; Propulsion; UAV;

    Abstract : The conventional tube-and-wing aircraft has been around since the 1950s, with little to no innovative progress being made towards redesigning the conventional aircraft. The blended wing body (BWB) shape fuses the wing of the aircraft with the fuselage increasing structural strength while also increasing potential surface area to create lift, making it more efficient than conventional wing shapes.

  3. 7. Conceptual Design of an Ekranoplan UAV

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Sheng-An Yu; [2022]
    Keywords : Ekranoplan; Unmanned ground effect vehicle UGEV ; vertical take-off and landing VTOL ; aircraft design; Ekranoplan; Obemannad markeffektfarkost UGEV ; Vertikal Start och Landning VTOL ; Flygplansdesign;

    Abstract : Unmanned aerial system (UAS) has developed into an important platform of high-altitude photography, which can be applied in animal studies, pollution forensics and geographic monitoring. This thesis work aims to design a unmanned ground effect vehicle (UGEV) in order to provide a much better and flexible solution to future applications. READ MORE

  4. 8. Weight prediction of flight control subsystem

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Joel Lundahl; [2022]
    Keywords : Aeronautical engineering; aircraft; fighter jet; flight control system; FCS; weight prediction; early weight prediction; hydraulic system; control surfaces; actuator; subsystem; weight estimation; Flygteknik; flygplan; militärflygplan; stridsflygplan; styrsystem; viktprediktering; tidig viktprediktering; hydraulsystem; styrroder; styraktuatorer; aktuator; delsystem; viktuppskattning; metod;

    Abstract : A common dilemma in aircraft design is the importance of knowing weight characteristics at early design stages, since sizing of many important components is dependent on these. Yet precise weight data cannot be determined until the aircraft and its subsystems have been designed in detail. READ MORE

  5. 9. Weight Prediction of the Environmental Control System for Fighter Aircraft

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Anton Lager; [2022]
    Keywords : Air Cycle Machine; Environmental Control System; Fighter jet; Military aircraft; Weight prediction; Luftcykelmaskin; Kylsystem; Militära flygplan; Stridsflygplan; Viktprediktering;

    Abstract : Aircraft design is heavily reliant on weight characteristics of the vehicle, and predicting the weight of subsystems in an early design phase is fundamental. The problem with predicting the weight of aircraft subsystems today is that the number of input parameters do not represent enough level of accuracy to account for different architectural solutions.

  6. 10. High-Performance Beamforming for Radar Technology : A Comparative Study of GPU Beamforming Algorithms

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Oscar Lindgren; [2022]
    Keywords : Accelerated signal processing software; Beamforming; Electronic warfare; Electromagnetic waves; Emitter identification; Radar technology; Accelererad signalbehandlingsmjukvara; Beamforming; Elektronisk krigsföring; Elektromagnetiska vågor; Sändaridentifikation; Radarteknologi;

    Abstract : Radar technology is widely used in today´s society, whether it is the localisation and identification of aircraft in air traffic control systems, ships in harbour management systems, or the weather forecast presented on the news. In military applications, such as in fighter jets or missile lock-on systems, the speed at which the radar processes incoming data is essential to ensure a successful outcome. READ MORE
