Abstract |
|
Aircraft performance depends on both environmental and design factors. The flight operations at various altitudes differ due to change in air density and lift generated on aircraft. This project investigates effect of temperature on aerodynamic characteristics of aircraft. The aircraft design taken is UAV (Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle) designed for stealth and surveillance operations which are required to flow at high altitudes. The CAD model of aircraft is developed in CREO design software and CFD analysis is performed using ANSYS CFX. Lift force, drag force generated on aircraft is studied at various altitudes. The turbulence model used for analysis is k-epsilon. |
