Design of UAV Systems

  • The first reported heavier-than-air, powered flight was of a UAV, over the Potomac River, by Dr. Sam Langley (1896)
  • The first radio-controlled UAV flights were converted Navy trainers, flown over Long Island (1917)
  • The first mass production of UAVs was the Kettering Bug, costing $400 and capable of carrying a 300 lb bomb (1918)
  • The British Queen Bee UAV was landed by dragging a weighted antenna line on the ground, which then pulled back the stick and the throttle (1935)
  • 4 UAVs with 2000 lb bombs attacked the Japanese merchantman, Yamazuki Maru, scoring two direct hits (1944)
  • Marilyn Monroe was “discovered” while working in the Radioplane OQ-3 UAV factory (1945)

Introduction to UAVs

Example - Manned airspace

  • All countries have rules for how aircraft must operate in their airspace.
  • Most follow guidelines developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
  • Rules apply to two types of airspace
    • - Enroute airspace - the airways
    • - Terminal airspace - around airports
  • Airspace rules are based on manned aircraft experience
    • The established system is complex and slow to change
  • Pilots, not ground controllers, have primary responsibility for safe operation/separation of aircraft
  • UAVs have ground (?) controllers not pilots
  • UAVs will have to fit into a pilot based system

Question

What do these challenges have to do with us (Aerospace Engineers)?

  • UAVs are air vehicles, they fly like airplanes and operate in an airplane environment
    • - They are designed like air vehicles
    • - They have to meet flight critical air vehicle requirements
    • - Aerospace engineers understand the environment, the requirements and the design challenges
  • We know how to integrate complex, multi-disciplinary systems
  • We provide leadership in development of air vehicle systems
    • - UAVs are simply our next air vehicle system challenge
