11 Propulsion Kyle Vonnahmen Vonnahmen - 11

12 Design Requirements Engine Choices Selected Engine Fuel System Future Work Overview Propulsion Vonnahmen - 12

13 T/W Ratio of 0.3 Design Requirements Cruising speed of 88 ft/s Engine size of at least bhp Propeller size less than 5.30 ft Propulsion Vonnahmen - 13

14 Engine Choices Narrowed down to Piston Engine or Wankel (Rotary) Engine Piston Engine the traditional choice for aircraft Wankel Engine newer engine mostly used in UAVs Propulsion Vonnahmen - 14

15 Wankel Engine Propulsion Vonnahmen - 15

16 Engine Comparison Chart Rotax 912 S Rotamax 650cc Type Piston Rotary HP RPM Weight (lbs) Cost 18,000 11,000 Fuel Burn (gal/hr) D prop (in) T static (lbf) T forward (lbf) Propulsion Vonnahmen - 16

17 Selected Engine Decided on a Rotary Engine Cheaper & More Power Smaller Size & Less Weight Fewer moving parts Designed for high RPMs Readily Available Propulsion Vonnahmen - 17

18 Selected Engine (cont.) Turbocharger gives engine extra power Still Cheaper than piston engine Decided to go with a bigger engine Propulsion Vonnahmen - 18

19 Fuel System Designed for a 1½ hour flight Rotary engines can use a variety of fuels Est. 5.5 gal/hr Need 1.47 ft 3 of fuel space in wings Propulsion Vonnahmen - 19

20 Future Work More engine research Possible engine size change More detailed fuel system Propulsion Vonnahmen - 20

21 Aerodynamics Michael Straka Straka - 21

22 Wing Geometry Considerations: simple design, low cost, easy to maintain Rectangular low-wing Span: 25 feet Chord: 3.6 feet Wing tips: cut-off design Aerodynamics Straka - 22

23 Airfoil Selection Desired: stable over a wide range of angles High stall angle of attack High lift/low drag Similar to sailplane Aerodynamics Straka - 23

24 Airfoil Selection S4083 airfoil Max C L = 1.57 (14 degrees) Lift coefficient=.42 (α=0) C Lα =4.49 Aerodynamics Straka - 24

25 Airfoil Performance Calculated stall speed: 24.4 fps No high-lift devices required Low overall drag High angle of attack before stall Aerodynamics Straka - 25

26 Drag Polar Using Raymer drag buildup Rough estimate of parabolic drag Includes landing gear, accounts for protuberances Aerodynamics Straka - 26

27 Stability and Control Jess Howe Howe - 27

28 Main Components Sizing of tail surfaces/control surfaces Location of neutral point Location of center of gravity Static Margin Stability and Control Howe - 28

29 Tail Sizing AR c c AR v ht vt h ls h = cs ls v v = bs = h b S 2 h h b = 1.55 v S 2 v Where.4b<l v =l h <.5b or 2.5c<l v =l h <3.5c Where 4<AR h <5 and 2.5<AR v <3 Stability and Control Howe - 29

30 Tail Sizes to Scale Stability and Control Howe - 30

31 Determination of Neutral Point Sh α F h pα α p Cm α = CL α( Xcg Xacw) + Cm α fus ηh CL αh ( Xach Xcg ) + ( Xcg X p ) S α qs α Setting C ma =0 and solving for X cg yields the neutral point Sh α F h pα α p CL αxacw Cm α fus + ηh CL αh Xach + X p S α qs α X np = S F h α h pα α p CL α + ηh CL αh + α α S qs Stability and Control Howe - 31

32 Static Margin SM.. = ( X X ) np cg Static Margin must be positive in order to have static stability This implies that X cg must be in front of the neutral point X cg was found using weight*moment arm Stability and Control Howe - 32
