The boundary element method (BEM) in the context of acoustics or Helmholtz problems is
reviewed in this paper. The basis of the BEM is initially developed for Laplace's equation …

The tilt-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (TRUAV) is characterized by both multi-rotor vertical
takeoff or landing and fixed-wing long-duration flight. Not only the structure of TRUAV is …

This paper focuses on the effects of external geometrical modifications on the aerodynamic
characteristics of the MQ-1 predator Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV) using …

The objective of this study is to develop a genetic algorithm that uses the IGP
parameterization to increase the lift coefficient (CL) of three airfoils to be used on wings of …

Inventive approaches are constantly being revealed in the field of vertical take-off and
landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) configuration concepts and designs. To …

Abstract Drones are Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's) or Remotely Piloted Vehicles
(RPV's) whose application ranges from photography to defence. There are two major …

Drones (unmanned aerial vehicles) are becoming increasingly popular all over the world
every day. This is due to a series of advantages over manned aircraft, namely, absence of …

In the study of the aerodynamic load applied by the air on the rotating helicopter blade, it is
important to know that the values obtained from the numerical analysis are as close to reality …

Vertical take-off and land (VTOL) is a new technology in the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
field. Separate lift and thrust (SLT) is identified as the most simplistic design of VTOL UAVs …

A tandem aircraft configuration has two wings placed one behind the other longitudinally,
with no dedicated horizontal stabilizer. Since there are two wings, high lift is obtained but …
