Estudos dos comandos básicos de voo em um aeromodelo

Abstract

Modern aviation takes advantage of the evolution of manufacturing processes, material forming and development of control technologies to face the challenges of mechanical complexity and human risks involved in the process. This work aims to analyze, through simulations, the response in an aircraft flying with the decrease of one of the four basic commands to the flight. This study was done on an electric model airplane and the results can be considered for real aviation since it uses the same physical and aerodynamic laws of a real airplane. The analyzes and simulations were carried out on a model with the surfaces in neutral position, which showed the pressure profile used as a reference. The model with rudder control showed that there is also a characteristic action of the aileron and that this is due to the interaction of this control with a large area, in relation to the pressure, between the wings and the drift. The model with aileron control showed that its performance is limited to rolling, which is its characteristic movement. It was possible at the end of the work to confirm the thesis that an aircraft designed to fly with four flight controls can fly using three.
