The design and manufacture of a remotely piloted aircraft
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The article is a compilation of data regarding the process of designing an UAV wing, generally speaking, and an iteration of the stress calculations made during the research. Therefore, we use the best materials and a design that fits the necessities and requirements of such an airplane. The purpose of the UAV is to have a precise goal, namely to be used by the authorities for the people. Example: flying at low height for the surveillance of a large forest fire or a highway, or even for collecting data regarding the air quality and the percentage of noxious particles in different urban and nonurban areas.

Unified formulation for URANS and LES in DxUNSp code
The aim of this work is to find a unified and efficient implementation of a LES turbulence model in an existing URANS CFD code, initially based on unsteady RANS equations with a k-ε turbulence model. This code has the ca...
Local correlations for flap gap oscillatory blowing active flow control technology
Active technology for oscillatory blowing in the flap gap has been tested at INCAS subsonic wind tunnel in order to evaluate this technology for usage in high lift systems with active flow control. The main goal for this...

The aircraft that flies like an airplane but takes off and lands like a chopper. It has been a long, strange trip: the V-22 has been 25 years in development, more than twice as long as the Apollo program that put men on...
Estimation of Wind Tunnel Corrections Using Potential Models
The evaluation of the tunnel correction remains an actual problem, especially for the effect of tunnel walls. Even if the experimental campaign meets the basic similitude criteria (Mach, Reynolds etc.), the wall effect o...
