Between Dec 19, 2024 and Jan 2, 2025, datasets can be submitted to DRUM but will not be processed until after the break. Staff will not be available to answer email during this period, and will not be able to provide DOIs until after Jan 2. If you are in need of a DOI during this period, consider Dryad or OpenICPSR. Submission responses to the UDC may also be delayed during this time.

    Comparative evaluation of computational techniques for estimating UAV aerodynamic, stability and control derivatives
    (2013-05) Ritchie, Robert
    The small UAV presents many advantages in size, cost, and portability. Because of this it is often desired to design many UAVs, one for each task, and often in a competitive environment. The designer needs a set of validated conceptual design tools that allow for rapid prediction of flight characteristics. The validation study will be conducted on the Ultra Stick 120 using a comparison of a Vortex Lattice method and Digital DATCOM to wind tunnel data. These computational tools are provided as a part of the CEASIOM software suite.
