Simulation of the unmanned aerial vehicles lateral movement

Abstract

In the given research, we managed to achieve the desired result. The main task of the research was to solve the problem of increasing the maneuverability of the unmanned aerial vehicle lateral movement by means of a direct control of the lateral force. In the given research, the model of the unmanned aerial vehicle lateral movement was considered. Based on the fact that the unmanned aerial vehicle is moving in a three-dimensional space, a complete description of the movement is characterized by the Euler equations. There were provided methods for solving the problem of lateral maneuvering. The provided methods are important for unmanned aerial vehicle which are distributing agricultural chemicals, and also which are maintaining surveillance and terrain photography for which bank angle displacements are unacceptable, and high accuracy in lateral displacement is required. The second section simulates: lateral movement using coordinated turns; unmanned aerial vehicle lateral movement when sliding with a bank angle unmanned aerial vehicle; lateral movement during a flat turn; unmanned aerial vehicle lateral movement with direct control of the lateral force. The simulation is based on the formulas derived and implemented in the software complex intended for modeling control systems Mathlab-Simulink. In the third section, with the help of simulation there were defined aerodynamic characteristics of unmanned aerial vehicle control surfaces. For this, the ANSYS software was used, which allows solving a wide range of problems in the areas of strength, heat, hydrogas dynamics, electromagnetism, as well as interdisciplinary analysis that combines all four areas. The main purpose of the simulation was to develop a methodology for determining the aerodynamic parameters that characterize the effectiveness of a control when displacing the rudder or by turning the entire surface. Because of the simulation, there were obtained the values of the parameters that confirm the high efficiency of the allmoving stabilizer.
