  3. Concept of Operations “Our mission is to provide an innovative advertising medium through the use of an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS)” • Continuous area coverage of South Florida metropolitan areas and beaches for advertising purposes • Advertisements change based on location and circumstance • Targeted advertising for specific areas • e.g. advertising Best Buy near Circuit City locations • Large, fuselage mounted LED screens will deliver adverts • Business will be developed around this new technology

  4. Concept of Operations Operations based at Sebring Regional Airport, serving 3 high population areas Continuous area coverage of city for 18 hrs (6am to 12am) 3 missions total with 6 hour loiter each Seven planes needed for 3 city operations with 1 spare Coverage area map:

  5. Major Design Requirements • Customer Attributes • Advertisement visibility is paramount in order to meet customer’s needs • Must maintain a loiter speed which allows the public to retain the content of advertisements • For a successful venture, these two requirements must be clearly met in order to provide a superior service to the customer • Engineering Requirements • Screen dimensions: 7.42’ x 30’ (each) • Loiter Speed: 68 ktas • Loiter Endurance: 6 hrs

  23. Aerodynamic Design – Wing Design Summary

  24. Aerodynamic Design – Wing Design Summary

  25. Aerodynamic Design – Wing Spanwise Twist Distribution • Wing twist designed: • to achieve a minimum induced drag spanwise lift distribution • to provide desirable stall characteristics • Preliminary twist distribution derived using lifting-line theory

  26. Aerodynamic Design – Wing Spanwise Thickness Distribution • Thickness distribution designed: • to minimize the form drag of the wing • to provide potential weight savings • Preliminary thickness distribution based on current aircraft designs

  27. Aerodynamic Design - Airfoil Selection - Wing • Wing Requirements • Promotes laminar flow • Delays transition to turbulent flow • In order to accomplish this, the NACA 64-912,10,08 airfoil was chosen for the different thicknesses required NACA 64-912 Drag Polar & Lift-curve slope for NACA 64-912

  28. Aerodynamic Design - Airfoil Selection - Tail • Vertical Tail • Requires a symmetric airfoil to prevent side forces • Horizontal Tail • Must allow for stability of aircraft Chose NACA 0012 for both vertical and horizontal tail • By using the same characteristic airfoil for both, it will reduce manufacturing costs • It meets the symmetry requirements • A 12% thickness, this allows structural considerations NACA 0012

  29. Aerodynamic Design – Parasite Drag Build-up • Two methods were used to predict parasite drag: • Component build-up method* • FLOPS (Flight Optimization System) breakdown • Data from both predictions were analyzed and compared, giving a parasite drag prediction *Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach; D.P. Raymer; 2006.

  30. Aerodynamic Design – Parasite Drag Build-up • Parasite drag build-up [clean configuration]:

  31. Aerodynamic Design – Parasite Drag Build-up • Parasite drag breakdown [clean configuration]:

  32. Aerodynamic Design – Drag Polars • Aircraft drag polar [clean configuration]:

  33. Aerodynamic Design – Drag Polars • Aircraft drag polar [dirty configuration]:

  34. Aerodynamic Design – Other Considerations • Winglets • Proposed to add winglets to reduce the wing induced drag • Applicable to this aircraft due to the design mission characteristics: • Long endurance • Low design flight speed. • Winglets increase the effective aspect ratio – sizing code uses the effective aspect ratio • No detailed design carried out • Further detailed aerodynamic design would incorporate winglet design • High-lift devices • With an approach speed of 67 keas, it was felt that high-lift devices, at this stage of the design, were not needed

Power Budget • Power Source • Up to 50 hp extracted from engine • D.C. generator attached to accessory gearbox • Power Requirements • LED Screens • 2 @ 5.2 hp = 10.4 hp • MicroPilot MP-Day/Nightview Cameras • 2 @ 6 watts = 0.02 hp • Avionics Components • Communications (VHF/UHF), Navigation (GPS), Flight Control, Telemetry, Video • Estimated @ 20 kW = 26.8 hp • ~37 hp used, 13 hp reserve available

  46. Structure - Internal Structural Layout Key: Stringer: Rib: Spar: 13 ft 1.88 ft Ribs 42 ft Front Spar 2.5 ft 2.5 ft 1.88 ft 3.13 ft Main Spar Rear Spar Stringers 78 ft 1.25 ft

  47. Structure - Aircraft Material Selection • Skin (Aramid/Epoxy): 49% weight savings, same modulus, 10x the ultimate strength • High strength resists FOD damage • Stringers (Boron/Aluminum): Same weight, but 3x modulus increases fuselage rigidity • Inhibits LED screen damage from fuselage strain • Spars (Boron/Aluminum): Same weight, but 3x modulus increases wing rigidity • Large span would otherwise exhibit wing bending; increases aerodynamic efficiency • Ribs (Carbon/Epoxy): 43% weight savings, 2x stiffer inhibit wing twist • High wing-twist resistance increases aerodynamic efficiency and endurance

  48. Stability and Control- Weight Summary • Aircraft and Component Weights • FLOPS sizing code • FLOPS is widely used for aircraft of this size • The results, overall, agree with earlier sizing studies

  49. Stability and Control – Static Margin • Static Margin • From internal layout and weight summary • Fuel tank located near the c.g. • Very little c.g. travel as fuel is burned • Static margin remains constant throughout mission 42 ft. 9 in 19.95 ft 13 ft Datum

  50. Cost • Aircraft development and maintenance costs estimated from FLOPS cost model • Production includes 7 complete aircraft with 2 spare engines • Payroll assumes 21 person staff, with a rotation of 12 operators • Revenue model based on servicing 3 cities, 18 hours per day, 50 weeks per year
