Abstract

Kenyalang is a fuel cell powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) developed by Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). This paper discusses the aircraft performances analysis of Kenyalang. Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) using Numeca software had been performed to obtain the aerodynamics characteristic of the Kenyalang UAV in the form of lift (CL) and drag (CD) coefficients. Unstructured mesh and standard one - equation turbulence model, and Spalart-Allmaras selected in the simulation. Lift coefficients (CL) and drag coefficients (CD) were studied at flight condition of Mach 0.08 (~26 m/s) at different angles of attack, α. The CFD data results were used to obtain Stall Speed, Take off Distance and Rate of Climb, and the results are shown in this paper.
