Abstract:Distributed electric propulsion tilt-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (TRUAVs) with a lift-increasing flap in the propulsion wake have better aerodynamic efficiency than traditional tilt-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles and better takeoff/landing capacity than fixed-wing aircraft. However, for this configuration, establishing the propulsion–aerodynamic coupling model between the flap and the duct is difficult. This paper presents a flight dynamics model with propulsion–aerodynamic coupling components and analyzes … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
