Abstract

This paper focuses on the development of a novel UAV configuration, the convertible tailsitter autogiro, based on simulation and modeling of the most significant aerodynamic and dynamic effects that can affect the autogiro flight during the expected flight conditions. The aerodynamic forces acting on the rotor are simulated using a novel algorithm based on the blade element momentum (BEM) theory (to simulate wind turbines), and on semi-empirical models used for helicopter rotors in autorotation. The tail design is derived from a model of the velocity vector field in the slipstream of the propeller. Finally, aerodynamic control surfaces in the tail are evaluated using a transient k-epsilon Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation, which validates the design computation.
