• Edizione: 1st edition.
• Descrizione fisica: 1 PDF (72 pages)
• Disciplina: 629.3
• Soggetto topico: Drone aircraft; Automatic pilot (Airplanes); Airplanes - Motors - Design and construction; Propulsion systems
• Nota di contenuto: Chapter 1. Achieving reliable cold starts in a stepped piston engine -- Chapter 2. Exploring a series hybrid-electric arrangement -- Chapter 3. Distributed hydrogen-fueled propulsion for Hale UAVs -- Chapter 4. Rotary power beyond the wankel -- Chapter 5. Plasma propelled UAVs and dielectric barrier discharge.
• Sommario/riassunto: This book will cover several UAV propulsion technologies, ranging from modification of conservative designs to assessing the potential of unconventional arrangements. Each chapter provides a glimpse of how researchers are leveraging different fuel types, powerplants, and system architectures in the pursuit of powerful, efficient, and robust UAV propulsion. By developing higher-performing propulsion systems--whether through the refinement of existing technologies like two-stroke heavy-fuel engines and hybrid-electric arrangements or the investigation of new concepts such as dielectric barrier discharge--ngineers will be able to increase UAV capabilities for the world' developing aviation needs.
