Abstract

In this study, an aerodynamic configuration design and study on performance enhancement of a tilt-rotor UAV were conducted for improving mission capabilities compared to multi-copter type UAV, MC-1/2/3 developed for disaster and policing operation. To improve performance, a new TR5X configuration was developed by modifying the fuselage and tail shape of TR60 UAV and additionally attaching an extended wing to the nacelle. Aerodynamic performances of TR60 and TR5X were compared through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. In addition, flight performance analysis of full aircraft was conducted. Results showed that main performance requirements of TR5X were satisfied.

본 연구에서는 재난치안무인기 MC-1,2,3 대비 임무능력이 대폭 향상된 임무확장형 무인기 후보인 틸트로터 무인기의 공력형상설계와 성능향상을 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 기존 운영 중인 TR60 틸트로터 무인기의 형상을 근간으로 성능향상을 위하여 동체 및 꼬리날개 형상을 개선하고 나셀에 확장날개를 장착한 새로운 TR5X 개념형상을 설계하고 전산유체해석을 통해 기존 TR60과 공력성능을 비교하였다. 또한 TR5X 전기체 공력데이터를 구축하고 전기체 비행성능해석을 수행하여 목표로 설정된 주요 성능요구도가 만족됨을 확인하였다.
