Future Flight Deck: Available Bachelor/Master theses and projects
2017/03/14
To integrate future UAVs into non segregated airspace they must fulfill the authorities’ strong safety standards. In this context the FSR investigates the availability and system safety of electromechanical actuators (EMAs), which are considered as safety critical, since used for control surface actuation. The remaining useful lifetime of these components mainly depends on the UAV‘s overall usage and the aerodynamic loads.
Details:
The aim of this thesis is to identify and classify common UAV flight missions in a first step. Afterwards the acting actuator loads shall be estimated by means of a simulation. During this simulation process different mission types as well as environmental influences shall be considered. In the end the generated data shall be used to define a generic actuator load duty cycle.
Requirements:
- Basics in Flight Mechanics
- Matlab/Simulink
