  • The aerodynamic far-field noise was computed by an acoustic analogy code using the permeable surface for the UH-1H rotor blade in hover. The permeable surface surrounding the blade was constructed to include the thickness noise, the loading noise, and the flow noise generated from the shock waves and the tip vortices. The computation was performed with compressible three-dimensional Euler's equations and Navier-Stokes equations. The high speed impulsive noise was predicted and validated according to the permeable surface locations. It is confirmed that the noise source caused by shock waves generated on the blade surface is a dominant factor in the far-field noise prediction.

  • UAVs began to be actively applied to so-called 3D jobs, including the autonomous exploration, investigation, mapping, search and rescue, etc. since the mid-2000s. With this global trend, having a precise controllability of the UAV will certainly revolutionize the life of the modern human in the aspect of tremendous applications of the UAV. In the first part, a simplified dynamic model of the UAV identified using system identification techniques is compared with the previously built time-discrete linear model. In the second part, the three parameters of the dynamic model are estimated using the batch and RLS methods. Angular acceleration data of the quadrotor UAV at the hovering maneuver are analyzed and shown to be converging at all time. Also, according to the quadrotor flight data from both experiments and MATLAB simulations, the batch estimation method turns out to be more accurate than the RLS estimation method based on the comparison of final parameter values.

  • Performance analyses were performed on a propeller developed for use in a PAV (Personal Air Vehicle) under 600 kg Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW). The actuator disc theory and CFD analyses were used to estimate the hovering time with regards to MTOW variation for a given battery weight. The interference induced power factor kint was introduced to account for the effect of flow interference between the propellers and to estimate the performance of counter-rotating propellers. The Maximum Figure of Merit (FM) value of the propeller pitch was determined and the design RPM range for the required power inversely obtained from the CFD results. Previous research indicate that the flight time of large multi-copter is limited by the available battery energy density. Similarly, the propeller pitch settings and spacing are important factors in reducing the kint value.

  • Recently drones have become popular enough to be one of the hobby. The drone refers to an unmanned aerial vehicle which can fly and be steered by a radio wave without a pilot and it has a airplane or helicopter shape. The drone was first started to be used from military purpose, but its usage has been expanded to the private such as construction site, crop-dusting, field discovery, freight shipping and drones to prevent cheating. However the drone that we can see often in the market is expansive, hard to be repaired when it broken down and has a discomfort of the short flight time. In this paper, to solve an uncomfortable talk on the cheap 8-bits microcontrollers ATmega128 Using drone for implementation. Axes gyroscope and accelerometers mcu between posture an attitude control, communications through drone control, pid. Receiver input them into transmitter signals of movements to control drone c the programming was implemented in on the basis of language. drone using ATmega128 microcontroller is possible hovering, By utilizing a pin that are not required for control it can be used as a drone for a variety of uses.

  • This purpose of this paper was to review the development trend of the VTOL MAVs with a ducted propellant that can fly like the VTOL at intermediate and high speeds, hovering, landing, and lifting off vertically over urban areas, warships, bridges, and mountainous terrains. The MAV differs in flight characteristics from helicopters and fixed wings in many respects. In addition to enhancing thrust, the duct protects personnel from accidental contact with the spinning rotor. The purpose of the U.S. Army FCS and DARPA's OAV program is spurring development of a the VTOL ducted MAV. Today's MAVs are equipped with video/infrared cameras to hover-and-stare at enemies hidden behind forests and hills for approximately one hour surveillance and reconnaissance. Class-I is a VTOL ducted MAV developed in size and weight that individual soldiers can store in their backpacks. Class-II is the development of an organic VTOL ducted fan MAV with twice the operating time and a wider range of flight than Class-I. MAVs will need to develop to perch-and-stare technology for lengthy operation on the current hover-and-stare. The near future OAV's concept is to expand its mission capability and efficiency with a joint operation that automatically lifts-off, lands, refuels, and recharges on the vehicle's landing pad while the manned-unmanned ground vehicle is in operation. A ducted MAV needs the development of highly accurate relative position technology using low cost and small GPS for automatic lift-off and landing on the landing pad. There is also a need to develop a common command and control architecture that enables the cooperative operation of organisms between a VTOL ducted MAV and a manned-unmanned ground vehicle.
