Design of precision aerodynamic balance for unmanned aerial vehicles
Original language description
This paper presents the design and validation of a measurement system for aerodynamic characteristics of unmanned aerial vehicles. The largest modern unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have a wingspan of more than 30 m; the smallest UAVs can be carried in abackpack and operate at relatively low Reynolds numbers. An aerodynamic balance was designed in order to measure the lift, drag forces and pitching moment for different airfoils. During the design process, several aspects were analyzed in order to produce an efficient design and the balance was calibrated as well. Wind tunnel tests of a 2D NACA airfoil were performed to validate the aerodynamic measurement system. Finally, results of the wind tunnel tests were compared with references and found to be ingood agreement.
