Subject: [abml] unmanned aircraft
Dear Friends:
I am a sudanese student . I had been stuying in Egypt until , 1999
where I got my ( Bsc & Msc ) in Aeronautical Engineer,( Aircraft Design )
.
Nowadays I am a PhD student in University of Science and Technology (
Amman - Jordan ) .I completed two semesters in the first year of the PhD
course and now I am preparing for my project research. The title of my
research is ( The Sructural Design of Unmanned Aircraft ) . I am looking
for any data and dimensions / or a known data and dimensions of a
specified
(unmanned aircraft ) , which allow me to define the geometry of the
specified aircraft as an input data file , for a computer program ( which
I
will build later) . The output of this program will be the aerodynamic
loads which are to be applied on the aircraft structure. The validity of
the computer program is to be compared with a known panel code sofware
.The
aircraft structure is to be modelled in a 3-dimentional drawing using
(AutoCAD ) and then perform the necessary stress analysis using the well
known Finite Element software ( NASTRAN ).An optimization process will be
performed until the best configuration is obtained .As another step is,
to
check the stability of the optimized aircraft .Now this optimized
aircraft
will be build in a scaled model and then a wind tunnel tests will be
performed . The obtained results will be compared with those of the
computer program.This is the general idea of my project.
Really I miss the necessary informations that enable me to start.I have
alot theory and some photos about unmanned aerial vehicles which I have
collected from different websites . I need to know about the airframe
structural design , the wing characteristics( roor & tip chords, planform,
/
dihedral ,incidence , sweep angles,) aerofoil NACA / Fuselage
,diameter,nose, control surfaces, landing gears type,material of structure
.fiber reinforced composites, aircraft growth weight ,and the necessary
guidances that help me in general to design and construct my proposed
aircraft.Your advises and guidances will be of great beneficial for me.
I would be appreciate if you kindly help me about that..
Thank you very much for your help.
