Parametric Aerodynamic Study of a Convertible Aircraft Using CFD Tools. ProVANT EMERGENTIa Project

Special Session: Hybrid and Convertible Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: This article is part of the ProVant-EMERGENTIA project (devElopment of an unManned convERtible aircraft for rapid and efficient deployment in emerGENcy situaTIons). The CFD aerodynamics of a convertible aircraft at different attack ( \(\alpha \) ) and yaw ( \(\beta \) ) angles will be studied and then compared with wind Torres, S.Esteban, S.tunnel to improve the confidence level of the results by obtaining the same results using two independent methods (CFD and wind tunnel) as well as to have a reliable CFD model for future studies. In addition, a preliminary study of the cruise and take-off operation is carried out, incorporating the rotation of the propellers.
