title = "INVESTIGATION ON CRUISE PERFORMANCE OF A HAND-LAUNCHED SOLAR-POWERED UAV FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING IN TIBET",
abstract = "Aiming to realize long-endurance ecological environmental monitoring and rapid take-off and landing missions in Tibet, a hand-launched solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicle (HLSP UAV) in flying wing configuration is developed and introduced in this paper. Low-Reynolds-number (LRN) flow is quasi-steadily simulated by solving the full three-dimensional Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) governing equations coupled with the kT-kL-ω transition model, while the propeller performance is evaluated using the multiple-rotating reference frame (MRF) method. The cruise performance of the present configuration is studied with and without consideration of the tractor propeller induced slipstream effects. The results indicate that the present configuration can satisfactorily meet the aerodynamic requirements of high-efficiency cruise missions, and the use of the new-concept high-performance propeller can improve the aerodynamic performance of the LRN aircraft to a certain extent.",
