Ground resonance analysis of an UAV autogiro

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

MMIST is an Ottawa-based full solution provider of Precision Aerial Delivery products and services including the Sherpa family of GPS guided parafoils, the CQ-10A SnowGoose cargo unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) along with mission planning tools, services and support equipment. MMIST enables cargo to be delivered even when ground based infrastructure such as roads or runways do not exist, or when ground based infrastructure has become ineffective due to poor weather, climate change, or lack of security. MMIST and its partners are currently developing a third wing kit for the CQ-10. This exciting new variant, called the CQ-10B or "Bravo" is a near Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) aircraft with more than four times the range of its predecessor. In order to complete the flight test program of the "Bravo" version of the SnowGoose UAV, MMIST needs to assess the ground resonance characteristics of this aircraft, for which they would like to use Carleton University's expertise in helicopter analysis and design.
