Abstract

This paper presents a dynamic simulation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) moving on a launcher. The UAV launcher consists of a metal rail that is positioned at a launch angle, a spring and a winch to be able to stretch the spring. Prior to launch the spring is stretched into necessary tension and secured with safety pins, then released to launch the UAV. The influence of aerodynamic lift and drag forces on the mathematical model of a UAV will be considered in detail. Mathematical model a UAV moving on a launcher represented by differential equations are solved using a MATLAB software. The results of calculations are represented by a graph which shows distance, velocity and acceleration of a UAV while moving on a launcher as a function of time.

Highlights

  • Nowadays, the transportation technology has been developed quickly for shipping object and transport people to destination as fast as possible

  • The author specify the criteria of the launcher and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for making the dynamic simulations using MATLAB

  • With the simulation shows the maximum distance that this UAV can travelled with no thrust are used

Summary

Introduction

The transportation technology has been developed quickly for shipping object and transport people to destination as fast as possible. With the help of launcher it results in launching the UAV in the limited area at same initial input such as; work and specified velocity. The expectation that wanted to achieve are to know the approximate maximum distance that the tested UAV can be travelled by using work generated by the launcher. This will be included to the initial velocity that the launcher can produced and the velocity that will be appeared along the time it takes. This paper will include the simulation of the specified UAV and launcher as setting in the criteria by using the dynamic simulation as mentioned above [1]
