Abstract

The endurance of the multi-copter is one of the important variables that determine the mission performance. Therefore, accurate endurance should be defined as essential for performing effective missions. In this paper, we present the results of the study on the flight performance of the aircraft, especially the hovering of the drone(multi-copter). Unlike conventional aircraft, which consider aerodynamic performance by the fuselage, the multi-copter is mostly determined by the propulsion system. Therefore, the research method classifies the various parts constituting the drone system into functions, analyzes the performance of the unit parts and obtains the experimental data by sorting out the specifications and functions at the component level and mathematical formulation, The results of this study are as follows. In addition, the 5kg class quad copter was used to predict and verify the voltage change with endurance through analysis of in situ flight. By predicting endurance under various conditions, it can help design/build the right Multi-copter for mission.

본 논문은 최근에 각광 받고 있는 드론(멀티콥터)과 관련하여 비행체의 비행 성능, 특히 비행 가능 시간에 대한 예측과 실험 데이터를 통한 검증 등을 목표로 하여, 제자리 비행에 대한 연구 결과를 제시 하고 있다. 연구 방법을 드론 시스템을 구성하고 있는 여러 부품들을 기능별로 분류하여 부품 수준에서의 제원과 기능에 대한 정리 및 수학적 수식화를 통하여 단위 부품의 성능을 분석 및 실험 데이터를 확보하고, 이들 단위 부품 데이터의 조합을 통하여 드론 시스템의 제자리비행 성능을 예측하는 연구 결과를 보여 주고 있다. 또한 5kg급 쿼드콥터를 이용하여 제자리 비행에 대한 분석을 통하여 비행시간에 따른 전압 변화를 예측, 검증 하였으며 해당 방법을 통해 제자리 비행시간을 예측하였다.
