Parametric study of aerodynamic integration issues in highly coupled Blended Wing Body configurations implemented in UAVs

Abstract:

The economy of andean countries such as: Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, Peru and Bolivia; have depended historically on the agricultural sector, which for its technification presents several challenges due to the complexity of their topology. Agriculture takes an important share of each country’s GDP and hence governmental efforts have been implemented to technify it and enhance agricultural production. For instance, Ecuador has set the “Plan Nacional del Buen Vivir”(PNBV) framework29 to set policies to achieve production targets in terms of agricultural production. Nevertheless, the suitability of these systems for site specific monitoring (SSM) depends highly on the improvements in performance that can be achieved in order to increase their payload and range for high altitude monitoring (above 3000 m). In the case of Ecuador, crops requiring SSM account for 1200 km2, 4 which would represent approximately 60 …
