I am looking for some help and advice on the title topics.
Looking at ideas for a final year project, and currently looking at doing a high altitude and long endurance UAV.
My definition of high altitude is 100k - 200k. I have looked at some other uavs that have done this, including the NASA one, but i can see no technical documentation on any of them.
So, what are the issues with obtaining altitudes over 100k with regards to
1) Propultion systems
2) Aerodynamics
I have been looking at either ducted fans or plain propellors powered by electric motor.
Think a UK venture has got to 120k, was really interested if it was possibe to go much higher using the same design principles and equipement?
Thanks
