Influence of Interference Effects of the Rotor on the Launch Dynamics of Gliding Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Resumo

A mathematical model of the gliding unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) motion is performed taking into account the interference effect of the main rotor on the UAV. Calculated values are presented for the interference addition to the aerodynamic coefficients of forces and moments on the UAV path section close to the carrier. The problems of stabilization and control are solved, providing stability of the UAV motion at the launch with due account of the aerodynamic interference and the effect of short-term upper stage engine operation, as well as a safe distance between the carrier and the UAV during their simultaneous motion.
