High Level Drone Layout

  • pick + find different vtol layouts
  • where does payload go?
  • what has best flight characteristics ex: - battery is a bit ahead of cg

Center Grav

  • cg payload under cg aircraft

Summary Datum Moments

Center Pressure

Center of Pressure

Moment of Inertia

Basically how hard it is to turn an object. For our drone, try and keep wings under 2.4

Aerodynamic efficiency

Chord Length

Estimation of Mass Points

Airfoil Testing

using XFLR to take a look at different attributes...

heres a DB I found for a bunch of different airfoils https://m-selig.ae.illinois.edu/ads/coord_database.html

Im looking to analyze for coefficient lift, find an optimal AoA, and consider a constant Reynolds #, (bc of air flow)

  • note that coefficient of drag of the wing is not necessarily equal to the coefficient drag of the fuse.

I need to look for/analyze the following properties + gather this information:

  1. cL vs AoA
  2. Convergence + Stalling
  3. Optimal AoA
  4. cL vs cD
  5. Compare @ diff Re (air speeds 14m/s -> 16m/s)s
