Abstract
I present the aerodynamic optimization of the angle of attack of MQ-9 Reaper wings under turbulent airflow conditions. The background discusses the evolution of UAVs such as the Hunter and their usages for different tasks, specifically within the last decade. The main procedural stage consists of creating a criterion for choosing the most aerodynamic wing design by considering certain aerodynamic properties and analyzing the lift and drag coefficients using computer software. At the end of the paper, the final optimized MQ-9 wing design, along with its respective design parameters, are presented and discussed.
Claims7
A method for optimizing MQ-9 Unmanned-Aerial-Vehicle (UAV) wing design, the method comprising:
- formulating flow conditions;
- simulating wings in a turbulent flow model for each angle of attack;
- and
- finding the angle-of-attack (AoA) to produce the best lift-to-drag (L/D) ratio.
