Abstract
In this study, an aerodynamic configuration design and study on performance enhancement of a tilt-rotor UAV were conducted for improving mission capabilities compared to multi-copter type UAV, MC-1/2/3 developed for disaster and policing operation. To improve performance, a new TR5X configuration was developed by modifying the fuselage and tail shape of TR60 UAV and additionally attaching an extended wing to the nacelle. Aerodynamic performances of TR60 and TR5X were compared through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. In addition, flight performance analysis of full aircraft was conducted. Results showed that main performance requirements of TR5X were satisfied.
