What is this project?
A water treatment system
An autonomous mine detector
A tennis ball launcher
A UAV equipped with flight data recorder
UAV means:
Unarmed Aerospace Vehicle
Uninhabited Airless Vault
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
University Aircraft Valley
The aircraft propeller will be powered using:
Li-ion batteries
The aircraft will not be powered
Photovoltaic solar cells
A stack of AA batteries
The FDR will be used to
Monitor the glider's lateral and longitudinal stability
Measure the flight time and acceleration of the UAV
Control the glider during flight
Flash LEDs to spell the team name
The Quick Release Plate will be used to:
Attach the UAV to the launch rig
Counterweight the UAV and provide flight stability
Install the Arduino
Measure retraction force
Teams will build the launch rig by the end of week:
8
9
10
The rig is already built
The UAV must not exceed a length and width of:
300mm x 500mm
300mm x 600mm
600mm x 600mm
no restrictions
The modelling/simulation software packages to be used are:
CAD, Creo, Flux
Computer Aided Design, GNU Octave, Comsol
Solidworks, ANSYS, Matlab
Matlab/Simulink, Creo, Star CCM
The Flight Data Recorder will communicate the flight time:
on an LCD display
using LEDs in a binary code
using LEDs in Morse code
it won't
The tensile member will be equipped with the following sensors:
2x strain gauge
1x temperature sensor, 1x accelerometer
2x voltage gauge
1x voltage sensor, 1x pressure sensor
During the flight test, the Quick Release Plate:
Will fly with the glider
Will help to release the glider but will stay in the launch rig
Will launch with the glider and then drop immediately after the start
Will support the glider before the start but is not used in the launch procedure
StarCCM simulation software will be used
To simulate aircraft and predict flight time
To calculate lift and drag coefficients of wings
To design Quick Release Plate
To simulate whole aircraft and predict flight distance
Your UAV will be designed in:
Simulink (or similar)
ANSYS (or similar)
PTC Creo (or similar)
C++ (or similar)
The wind tunnel test will help to:
Test aircraft response to a strong wind condition
Experimentally test the durability of used materials
Confirm expected flight duration
Obtain lift and drag coefficients experimentally
