Abstract

The applications of unmanned aerial vehicles have been extended through the recent decades and they are utilized for both civil and military applications. The urge to utilize unmanned aerial vehicles for civil purposes has elevated researchers and industries interest towards the mini unmanned aerial vehicle (MUAV) category due to its suitable configurations and capabilities for multidisciplinary civil purposes. This study is an effort to further enhance the aerodynamic efficiency of MUAVs through a parametric study of the wing and proposing an innovative bioinspired wing design. The research is conducted utilizing numerical simulation and experimental validation. This research provides a better understanding of different wing parameter(s) effect on the aerodynamic performance of the wing and mini unmanned aerial vehicles. A new wing configuration is designed, implemented and evaluated. The wing is named as Alpine since it is inspired by biomimicry of alpine swift bird. Evaluation of the new wing geometry shows that the Alpine wing geometry performs 35.9% more efficient compared to an existing wing with similar wing area. Hence, the aerodynamic efficiency optimization is achieved for the Alpine wing which helps to enhance the performance of MUAVs.

Abstract

At present, most countries all over the world are being hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic and some even are being hit harder than others. This condition has caused widespread disruption of the economic, social, and educational systems in those countries.  Under these conditions, transportation systems also need to be considered. There are problems of distribution of drugs and kits of test equipment to areas far from large cities in the center of the corona pandemic due to access difficulty. Remote locations, being difficult to reach, make the distribution of drugs and equipment for rapid testing uneven so that the recovery rate of patients in the area has a low percentage. Meanwhile, it is essential to ensure the availability of drugs and rapid test equipment in every public health center in all directions of Indonesia. One possible solution is the use of drones to distribute these things to areas that are difficult to reach. This solution is expected to at least improve healing and reduce mortality for patients infected with COVID-19 in remote areas.

Abstract

Automotive racing is one of the favorite sports of human being. There have been many developments in past decades by car engineers to improve the performance of the engine and increase the aerodynamic efficiency of the race cars to achieve a better lap time and get a better placement safely. One of the ways to improve the aerodynamic performance of a race car is to use rear spoilers. This study by using ANSYS FLUENT numerically investigated the effect of the spoiler shape and setting angle on the aerodynamic characteristics of a race car and then it was validated by conducting wind tunnel experiment. Lift and drag coefficient of NACA0012, NACA4412, and S1223 are determined in Reynold’s number of 2×105 as an airfoil and as spoiler on ERC model which is a conceptual car model inspired by Porsche 911. It was found that ERC model with spoiler would have better aerodynamic efficiency compared to ERC model without spoiler. Also, S1223 at -6 degrees was identified as the optimized configuration as it generates the highest downforce. Even though the drag coefficient at this setting angle is slightly higher, but in terms of stability and handling IT is at its best. Overall, this study would help car manufacturers, for racing and commercial purposes, to have a better insight into the effect of spoiler configuration on the aerodynamic performance of cars. Hence, the stability, handling, and efficiency of the cars can be further improved by selecting the suitable spoiler configuration.

Abstract

In today’s era of advanced weapons and technology development, many remarkable inventions have shifted the balance of war towards the strategically enhanced military equipped with tactical weapons and armaments. One of these strategic advancements is stealth technology due to which stealth aircraft are high in demand for the military. The question that rises is How to detect a stealth object? This paper proposes a novel anti-stealth technique using void detection, high frequency wave interference and neutrino beam propagation. Void detection method uses a modified satellite-based radar that searches for areas in the aerospace from which the transmitted signals sent to the ground receiving station are blocked or deflected. High frequency wave interference method is used to generate a stellar trajectory of the stealth aircraft at the detected void. Neutrino beam comprises of energy quanta mainly neutrinos, which are able to surpass the absorption or deflection systems in the stealth body of aircraft. This unique phenomenon produces a moving image, which is the precise location of the aircraft in the space. Using these methods, the trajectory of the aircraft is detected which ultimately leads to the detection of the stealth aircraft itself. The newly proposed methods which are theoretically more reliable than the existing methods may not have been tested but the method planning make them practically feasible considering that the technology used is a part of advanced engineering today.
