    Need help on designing a conceptual HALE UAV

    Thanks for your help. The Open source software from Imperial looks promising, do you know where I can find a tutorial or explanation of how to use and apply the code? Due to the limitations in equipment and time frame, the extent I can go with this project will be a basic paper describing the...

    Need help on designing a conceptual HALE UAV

    No I don't need to build and physically test it, and I don't have access to a wind tunnel as well, so that wouldn't be possible. So for now, I need to just submit a paper describing the design.

    Need help on designing a conceptual HALE UAV

    Thanks for your help! So at the moment, I will probably look at calculating basic things, such as drag of coefficient of lift, and is I have time, may go into more advanced things.

    Need help on designing a conceptual HALE UAV

    Cheers for the reply. I checked the NASA link, and it seems to work for me (should bring up a pdf), not sure why it isn't working for you. No I don't have to do an optimization problem, but that is what I thought I would need to do when I pick a design and want to improve it. But going back a...

    Need help on designing a conceptual HALE UAV

    Hi everyone, I am a High School student (final year) and am doing an extra-curricular project. Having complete autonomy on what we do the project on, I choose to design a High-Altitude Long-Endurance (HALE) UAV, such as the QinetiQ Zephyr [http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/zephyr/] or...
