Analysis of power plants used in unmanned aircraft

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to improve the tactical and technical characteristics of commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by developing the engine with promising indicators. The research is based on current and future developments of both domestic and foreign manufacturers. One of the most important tasks in the development phase of a UAV is the proper selection of the power plants. It involves the selection of such a system which enables the best use of the characteristics of the airframe and produces appropriate thrust to meet all the tactical requirements for an unmanned aerial vehicle. Expected scientific and practical results: significant increase in autonomy and reliability of promising models of domestic UAVs, expansion of the range of their tactical, technical and operational characteristics.
