The new coefficient is derived from an aerodynamic analysis of ten different unmanned aircraft used on surveillance, reconnaissance, and search and rescue missions. The aircraft are simulated using a validated unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes approach. The UAV's parasitic drag is significantly influenced by the presence of miscellaneous components like fixed landing gears or electro-optical sensor turrets. These components are responsible for almost half of an unmanned aircraft's total parasitic drag. The new equivalent skin friction coefficient accounts for these effects and is significantly higher compared to other aircraft categories. It is used to initially size an unmanned aircraft for a typical reconnaissance mission. The improved parasitic drag estimation yields a much heavier unmanned aircraft when compared to the sizing results using available drag data of manned aircraft.

T1 - Accurate induced drag prediction for highly non-planar lifting systems T2 - 19th Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference : 8.-11. Dezember 2014, Melbourne, Australia N2 - The impact of wake model effects is investigated for two highly non-planar lifting systems. Dependent on the geometrical arrangement of the configuration, the wake model shape is found to considerably affect the estimation. Particularly at higher angles of attack, an accurate estimation based on the common linear wake model approaches is involved.

T1 - In-flight vibration-based structural health monitoring of aircraft wings T2 - 30th Congress of the internatonal council of the aeronautical sciences : 25.-30. September 2016, Daejeon, Korea N2 - This work presents a methodology for automated damage-sensitive feature extraction and anomaly detection under multivariate operational variability for in-flight assessment of wings. The method uses a passive excitation approach, i. e. without the need for artificial actuation. The modal system properties (natural frequencies and damping ratios) are used as damage-sensitive features. Special emphasis is placed on the use of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensing technology and the consideration of Operational and Environmental Variability (OEV). Measurements from a wind tunnel investigation with a composite cantilever equipped with FBG and piezoelectric sensors are used to successfully detect an impact damage. In addition, the feasibility of damage localisation and severity estimation is evaluated based on the coupling found between damageand OEV-induced feature changes.
