Abstract

The aerodynamic characteristics of a ducted fan UAV are difficult to realize for the complex aerodynamic relationship between the duct and the propeller. In order to analyze the effect on the aerodynamic characteristics of UAV, a CFD software was used to calculate the aerodynamic parameters to obtain the aerodynamic relationship of the duct and the propeller. Although the presence of the duct improves the aerodynamic lift of the aircraft, the aerodynamic drag and pitching moment in forward flight also increase. So, the structure of the ducted fan UAV should be optimized to improve aerodynamic efficiency of UAV.

Key words： ducted fan UAV; aerodynamic characteristic; CFD calculation; flight dynamics
