Abstract

Performance characteristics of propulsion systems applied to UAVs that under development or completed in foreign countries were analyzed. In this study, aircraft mission and performance characteristics of ten UAVs were reviewed and compared with current available civil and military aircraft. Also performance characteristics of UAVs propulsion systems were summarized and engine design parameters were analyzed. Thrust, SFC and design parameters such as pressure ratio and bypass ratio of UAV propulsion system were compared with the current existing civil and military aircraft engines. From this study, the design parameters of the propulsion system applied to the UAV were well understood.

국외에서 개발이 진행되고 있거나 완료된 UAV에 적용된 추진기관의 성능 특성을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 총 10종의 UAV의 임무 및 성능 특성을 검토하고 민간항공기 및 군용항공기와 성능 특성을 비교 검토하였다. 또한, UAV 추진기관의 성능 특성을 정리하고 엔진 설계 파라미터에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 추진기관의 추력, SFC 및 설계변수인 압축비, 바이패스비에 대해 민간 및 군용항공기 엔진과 비교하여 검토하였으며, 본 연구를 통해 UAV에 따른 설계 파라미터를 보다 잘 이해할 수 있었다.
