    Wind Tunnel Experiment on a Flying Bike Model

    By Somashekar V, Vikas K., Maria Nicholas Visuvasam

    Abstract: In the upcoming years, a single type of vehicle may be used to achieve various mission objectives. Therefore, the vehicles are manufactured so that they have variable configuration for the required mission profile. Here we are talking about the changes in the overall geometry of the vehicle and therefore we are dealing the aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle. Since these types of vehicles are exposed to different flight regimes, the …

    Numerical Investigation of Missile Strike over an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

    By Kiran Myageri, Keskar Vaibhav Dattatraya, Shivakumar B. N., Rakhesh Athani, Somashekar V

    Abstract: Objectives: The present work deals with the impact analysis of missile over an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the missile is made to strike on the UAV with various angles on the different locations and structural behaviour of the UAV will be investigated through the intended work. Novelty: There is very limited data concerning structural failure modes caused by impact and explosion loading on an UAV due to missiles. Method: The …

    Development and Testing of Anti Hijacking System for Civil Aircraft

    By Somashekar V, Anupkumar R., Gaurav S., M. Mimhal Ali, Pramodh T. M., Tarunraj R.

    Abstract: A proof of concept system is developed and demonstrated to prevent hijacking attempt of aircraft. The system is mainly based on Raspberry Pi PC and the control program is written in the scripting language Python. The system will disable manual control of the aircraft, if a particular condition is met persistently beyond the predefined time limit. The condition to be met is simultaneous detection two authorised RFID tags for more …

    Numerical Analysis over a Low Reynolds Number 3D Wing

    By Somashekar V

    Abstract: A micro air vehicle (MAV) is defined as class of unmanned air vehicle (UAV) having a linear dimension of less than 15 cm and a mass of less than 100 g with flight speeds of 6 to 12 m/sec. MAVs fall within a Reynolds number (Re) range of 50,000 and 120,000, in which many causes of unsteady aerodynamic effects are not fully understood. The research field of low Reynolds number …

    A Report on Numerical Investigation of Wings: with and without Telescopic Wing

    By Somashekar V, Kruthika K C, Pavithra S, Priyanka R, Shreerangamma T L

    Abstract: The telescopic wing has generated lots of interest in telescopic wing weight, geometry, complexity, structure, retractable/extendable mechanisms and aerodynamic performance etc. The problem is to develop telescopic wing for Piper PA-28 Cherokee is a one of the light aircraft built by Piper aircraft and designed for flight training, air taxi, and personal use. The key design parameters for the telescopic wing aircraft as mentioned are lift force generated (lift coefficient) …
