Performance of unmanned combat aerial vehicle

Tema ovog završnog zadatka je analiza performansi borbene bespilotne letjelice nalik na MQ-9 Reaper. U svrhu te analize promatraju se dostupni podaci za samu aerodinamiku letjelice kao i karakteristike motora Honeywell TPE331-10. U početnom dijelu zadatka prikazane su karakteristike spomenutog motora i pretpostavljene karakteristike propelera. Primjenom metode ukupne energije analizirana je ovojnica leta. U nastavku ovog završnog zadatka analizirane su performanse u penjanju i horizontalnom letu pri čemu su izračunate brzina leta u režimu BRC, dolet i maksimalna duljina trajanja leta.The topic of this bachelor thesis is the performance analysis of a combat unmanned aerial vehicle resembling MQ-9 Reaper. For this analysis available data for aircraft aerodynamics as well as Honeywell TPE331-10 characteristics is used. In the starting section of this thesis motor characteristics are shown and propeller characteristics are assumed. The flight envelope was analysed by applying the total energy method. In the latter part of this thesis the climbing and horizontal flight perfomance analysis was conducted during which the climbing speed, range and endurance have been calculated
