Abstract

The great development of the aviation industry in recent years has allowed to extend its field of application from the military to the civilian field. The use of UAVs to perform high-risk missions, as well as immediate action, allows the development of research in the area of UAVs. The manufacturing of a UAV for monitoring and video surveillance applications requires an adequate design and modeling of the system. One of the main characteristics for a stable flight of a UAV is its aerodynamic design, since this depends on the application for which it is built. This paper presents the aerodynamic design and modeling of the UAV, as well as its trajectory simulation and the construction of a functional UAV for strategic missions. The project was developed within a knowledge exchange agreement between the Ecuadorian Armed Forces (FAE) and the Technical University of Ambato (UTA). The analysis of the different airfoils allowed to determine that the S4083 airfoil, part of the 4-digit family of the NACA airfoil, is the most suitable for the proposed system, allowing to achieve average flight times of 3 hours, with the inclusion of a solar power source incorporated in the UAV wings.

用于战略监视任务的远程无人机气动设计

近年来航空工业的巨大发展使其应用领域从军事领域扩展到民用领域。使用无人机执行高风险任务，以及立即行动，允许无人机领域的研究发展。用于监视和视频监视应用的无人机的制造需要系统的充分设计和建模。无人机稳定飞行的主要特征之一是它的空气动力学设计，因为这取决于它被建造的应用。本文介绍了该型无人机的气动设计与建模、弹道仿真以及用于战略任务的功能性无人机的构建。该项目是根据厄瓜多尔武装部队(FAE)和安巴托技术大学(UTA)之间的知识交流协议制定的。不同的翼型的分析允许确定，S4083翼型，NACA翼型的4位数家族的一部分，是最适合提出的系统，允许实现3小时的平均飞行时间，包括在无人机机翼纳入太阳能电源。

期刊介绍： Founded in 1926, DYNA is one of the journal of general engineering most influential and prestigious in the world, as it recognizes Clarivate Analytics. Included in Science Citation Index Expanded, its impact factor is published every year in Journal Citations Reports (JCR). It is the Official Body for Science and Technology of the Spanish Federation of Regional Associations of Engineers (FAIIE). Scientific journal agreed with AEIM (Spanish Association of Mechanical Engineering) In character Scientific-technical, it is the most appropriate way for communication between Multidisciplinary Engineers and for expressing their ideas and experience. DYNA publishes 6 issues per year: January, March, May, July, September and November.
