  4. 3. Localization of Combat Aircraft at High Altitude using Visual Odometry

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Jenny Nilsson Boij; [2022]
    Keywords : Monocular Visual Odometry; Monocular SLAM; High Altitude; Combat Aircraft; X-Plane;

    Abstract : Most of the navigation systems used in today’s aircraft rely on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). However, GNSS is not fully reliable. For example, it can be jammed by attacks on the space or ground segments of the system or denied at inaccessible areas. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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.
