The conceptual design and initial sizing may be combined and be referred to as the preliminary design phase. Four fundamental UAV parameters are determined during the preliminary design phase: 1. UAV Configuration, 2. UAV maximum take-off weight (WTO), 3. Wing reference area (S), and 4. Engine thrust (T) or engine power (P). These four parameters will govern the UAV size, the manufacturing cost, and the complexity of calculation. In this chapter, design activities in conceptual design and initial sizing are provided.

摘要

The conceptual design and initial sizing may be combined and be referred to as the preliminary design phase. Four fundamental UAV parameters are determined during the preliminary design phase: 1. UAV Configuration, 2. UAV maximum take-off weight (WTO), 3. Wing reference area (S), and 4. Engine thrust (T) or engine power (P). These four parameters will govern the UAV size, the manufacturing cost, and the complexity of calculation. In this chapter, design activities in conceptual design and initial sizing are provided.
