Abstract

In this study, a performance model of the smart UAV propulsion system with ducts, tip jets and variable main nozzle, which has flight capability of the rotary wing mode for the take-off/landing and low speed forward flight as well as the fixed wing mode for high speed forward flight, has been newly developed With the proposed model, steady-state performance analysis was performed at various flight modes such as rotary wing mode, fixed wing mode, compound ing mode and altitude as well as at flight speed conditions. In investigation of performance analysis. it was noted that the operational capability of the propulsion system was limited due to the duct losses depending on each flight mode, and the limitation with the altitude variation case had much greater than that with the flight speed variation case.

본 연구에서는 회전익 상태에서 이/착륙, 저속 전진비행을 하고, 고정익 상태에서 고속 전진비행을 하는 스마트 무인기 추진시스템을 모델링하고 회전익 모드, 고정익 상태의 고속 비행모드, 팁 제트 노즐과 주 엔진 노즐을 모두 이용하는 혼합모드에 대해 정상상태 성능해석을 수행하였다. 성능해석 결과는 각 비행모드에서 덕트의 손실로 인한 추진 시스템의 운용영역이 제한되는 결과를 보였으며, 비행 마하수 변화에 대한 결과와 비교해 고도의 변화에 대한 해석결과가 더 넓은 영역에서 비행영역을 제한함을 알 수 있었다.
