Frequently Asked Questions

What does the percentage mean?

The percentage shown in the AI writing detection indicator and in the AI writing report is the amount of qualifying text within the
submission that Turnitin's AI writing detection model determines was generated by AI.

Our testing has found that there is a higher incidence of false positives when the percentage is less than 20. In order to reduce the
likelihood of misinterpretation, the AI indicator will display an asterisk for percentages less than 20 to call attention to the fact that
the score is less reliable.

However, the final decision on whether any misconduct has occurred rests with the reviewer/instructor. They should use the
percentage as a means to start a formative conversation with their student and/or use it to examine the submitted assignment in
greater detail according to their school's policies.

How does Turnitin's indicator address false positives?

Our model only processes qualifying text in the form of long-form writing. Long-form writing means individual sentences contained in paragraphs that make up a
longer piece of written work, such as an essay, a dissertation, or an article, etc. Qualifying text that has been determined to be AI-generated will be highlighted blue
on the submission text.

Non-qualifying text, such as bullet points, annotated bibliographies, etc., will not be processed and can create disparity between the submission highlights and the
percentage shown.

What does 'qualifying text' mean?

Sometimes false positives (incorrectly flagging human-written text as AI-generated), can include lists without a lot of structural variation, text that literally repeats
itself, or text that has been paraphrased without developing new ideas. If our indicator shows a higher amount of AI writing in such text, we advise you to take that
into consideration when looking at the percentage indicated.

In a longer document with a mix of authentic writing and AI generated text, it can be difficult to exactly determine where the AI writing begins and original writing
ends, but our model should give you a reliable guide to start conversations with the submitting student.

Disclaimer
Our AI writing assessment is designed to help educators identify text that might be prepared by a generative AI tool. Our AI writing assessment may not always be accurate (it may misidentify
both human and AI-generated text) so it should not be used as the sole basis for adverse actions against a student. It takes further scrutiny and human judgment in conjunction with an
organization's application of its specific academic policies to determine whether any academic misconduct has occurred.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
In the unique domain of flying VTOL an abbreviation for Vertical Departure and Landing, has
arisen as an extraordinary idea, especially with regards to UAVs This inventive innovation is
shaping the capacities and functionalities of airplanes empowering them to execute more
efficiently thought and comprehensible. At its center VTOL addresses a change in perspective in
airplane plans and activities, similar to conventional airplanes, that depend on runways for
departure and landing VTOL airplanes have the one of a kind capacity to climb and drop upwards,
this ability is especially favorable in situations where space limitations or the shortfall of
customary runways would block conventional airplane activities The flexibility of VTOL
exemplified in its application to UAVs. Automatic VTOLs assume an essential part in different
fields, including observation surveillance, and even bundle convenience VTOL UAVs with their
capacitive takeoff, upward and drift, and descent position, offer unrivaled adaptability in exploring
complicated and bound conditions, one of the key elements that recognize VTOLs as their
crossover plan. Mixing the benefits of multi-rotor vertical trips with the effectiveness of fixed-
wing airplanes during forward air travel This creative combination empowers VTOLs to benefit
from the qualities of two designs bringing about an agreeable harmony between vertical deftness
and even speed. Joining of these assorted flight strategies grows the functional envelope of UAVs,
as well as addresses intrinsic limits related to customary fixed-wing or rotorcraft planes Due to
their ability to perform precise maneuvers VTOLs are ideal for tasks that require a high degree of
precision, such as close quarter surveillance or urban delivery operations. Also, the marriage of
vertical and flat flight capacities in VTOLs helps to upgrade in energy productivity These aircraft
optimize energy consumption during various operating phases by seamlessly switching the modes.
The proficiency is essential for broadening missions in terms of expanding the general availability
of VTOL empowered UAVs. The meaning of VTOL innovation means emerging in technology It
can possibly reform business and rethink the extent of activities. For example VTOL enabled aerial
vehicles can be quickly deployed in disaster-affected areas to assist in search and rescue efforts
and provide real-time situational awareness. Above all VTOL addresses the spread,
threat/provocation in flight, especially in the space of UAVs. Its capacity to ensure vertical
departure and narrowing of forward-geared travel opens additional opportunities for applications
going from reconnaissance to counter-mechanical machining. As innovation keeps on developing,

 Page 4 of 60 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2778727913

VTOL is ready to assume a crucial part in informing the provincial fate of automatically-elevated
vehicles, and to design a time-honored capability for proficiency advancement in flight.

Figure 0-1: VTOL

Since the VTOL consolidates the upsides of a multirotor and the advantages of fixed-wing
airplane, it is more adaptable and versatile. Its most indispensable highlights are:

ability to move quickly.

• The capacity to hover in place.

• Capability to take off and land in weighty breeze, least level space expected to send off a
VTOL airplane rather than a fixed-wing airplane, which requires a runway or an open
space. Speed to catch results contrasted with a multirotor drone implies limiting each
venture's activity time.
• Ability to shift to a specific level to make up for the breeze, guaranteeing that the airplane
expands steadiness and security during landing and departure, with a negligible portion of
the preparation cost contrasted with monitored and airplane tasks.

In spite of the broad benefits of VTOL, perceiving its primary limitations is fundamental.

Slower and, hence, less inclusion contrasted with human-maintained airplane.

The confirmation process for working power lift stages, like VTOL airplane, can be seen as more
perplexing than customary multi-rotor or fixed-wing classifications, mirroring the particular
abilities required for vertical departure and landing frameworks.

A) Flying Wing VTOL

In the reliably changing flight field our Senior Design project (SDP) flying wing VTOL is an essential
improvement joining cutting edge arranging and creative advancement. By consolidating the
helicopter up lift limits with the smoothed efficiency of the proper wing game plan this creative
arrangement opposes customary plane norms. The flying wing VTOL forward offers a mix of
superior execution capacities and spryness that revises flying principles

Figure 1-2: Flying Wing VTOL

From an overall perspective the flying wing VTOL breaks ordinary arrangement shows by
utilizing an outstanding, far reaching wing structure that looks perfect and extends smoothed
out execution This remarkable strategy, a work of mechanical virtuoso, decreases pull while
helping lift efficiency Anyway the veritable virtuoso of this plan is its adaptability concerning
work; it can quickly go from a vertical trip that is suggestive of the nimbleness of a helicopter
to a speedy forward flight profile like current fixed-wing plane.

The flying wing VTOL ends up being some different option from a plane for emergency
response and disaster the load up; it transforms into a fundamental asset. It can send rapidly,
masterfully explore many sided scenes, arrive at distant areas, and unequivocally do dynamic

responses. It shines in such way as a light emission and viability, arranging the smooth getting
of development together with needs that are basic to the goal

The beginning stages of flying wing vertical flight and landing (VTOL) may be followed to
enormous progressions in a couple of fields, including materials science smoothed out
highlights control structures and catalyst developments. Every progression adds to a greater
picture that pushes the envelope of airborne limits and stresses a dedication to suitability,
viability, and versatility The flying wing VTOL moves toward a plane and the primary edge of
a future in which the sky isn't the end yet a stunning space of possible results as we seek after
imaginative work

In summary, the flying wing VTOL tends to some different option from mechanical headway;
Combining the results of several different fields, it is the pinnacle of aeronautical development
An exceptional chance to explore the nuances of new innovations, dive into plan particulars,
and add to the continuous flight story exists when this innovation is remembered for the extent
of a senior undertaking.

B) History of VTOL
The possibility of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) has been around for a surprisingly
long time beginning during the 1900s Driven by the confirmation to upset military tasks,
support flying adaptability, and tackle space endpoints.

i)Initial Contemplations (1920s-1940s)

The autogyro Cierva C.6 which could move up and the Focke Achgelis Fa 61 an early
helicopter were among the first. these early undertakings were truly confined in limit
strength and sensibility Prepared experts and pilots were attracted to a plane that could take
off vertical without requiring a runway Various exploratory plans that filled in as the
establishment for the underlying ideas of VTOL innovation arose during the 1920s and
1930s. ii) Helicopter Change (1940s-1950s) During The Second Great War, the
improvement of helicopters denoted a mechanical forward leap in VTOL. The Sikorsky R-
4, the most well-known modern helicopter in history, proved that upward flight was
possible and paved the way for subsequent advancements in rotorcraft. After the conflict,

 Page 7 of 60 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2778727913

Ringer UH-1 Iroquois (Huey) helicopters ended up being valuable for both military and
business purposes, exhibiting the flexibility of VTOL innovation
iii) VTOL using Plane Power (1950s-1960s)
With preliminary plane like the Lockheed XFV and Convair XFY Pogo VTOL entered
another stage put aside by the introduction of stream power Exactly when it was first
showed up during the 1960s, the Harrier Skip Fly tended to a basic movement in practical
VTOL limits
1960s–1980s: In particular, the 1960s and 1970s saw the development of tiltrotor and slant
wing aircraft during this decade. The Ringer XV-15 and the Canadair CL-84 demonstrated
the adaptability of aircraft that could shift their rotors or wings for vertical departure and
forward flight. Despite their lack of widespread acceptance, these ideas sparked the
development of VTOL technology
iv) Aircraft in the High level Period (1990s-Present)
The possible results of VTOL development have been also updated and refined by
contemporary VTOL plane like the V-22 Osprey. Combining cutting edge catalyst,
materials, and flight grants plane to fly vertical and uniformly, closing the opening between
fixed-wing and helicopter plane
C) The Experiences of the Flying Wing VTOL An airplane without a separate fuselage, or
flying wing, began in early flight, most notably with the lightweight planes the Horton
siblings tested in the 1930s the plan of the flying wing and VTOL capacities mark a more
creative and contemporary time in flight history.

i) Early Thoughts for Flying Wings (1930s-1940s)

During The Subsequent Extraordinary Conflict, the Horton kin made the Horton Ho 229,
an early outline of a flying wing plan. It showed the smoothed out benefits of a wing-
simply plan in spite of the way that it was not VTOL. Regardless, getting VTOL limits
together with a flying wing setup has not yet been investigated

 Page 8 of 60 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2778727913

ii) VTOL Development Upgrades, 1950s-1970s

Basic advances in VTOL development were made in the after war time, chiefly using
standard plane plans. Prior to the flying wing plan, vertical lift capabilities received more
consideration. Regardless of the way that VTOL was shown through plane, for instance,
the Harrier Bob Stream, the inherent difficulties of planning VTOL with a flying wing
structure were not settled
iii) The 1980s and 1990s saw the advancement of tailless plane
The advancement of blended wing-body and tailless plane all through the 1980s and 1990s
prepared for incorporating VTOL into wing-simply designs. Their arrangements filled in
as a model for resulting headways, in spite of the way that they needed flying wings
iv) Present-day Flying Wing Vertical Takeoff (VTOL)
Impels in drive advancement materials science and smoothed out highlights have made it
attainable for certifiable flying wing vertical flight (VTOL) plans to show up recently
These planes are perceived by the smooth blend of vertical lift and the reasonability of a
flying wing, which suggest a steamed in aeronautical limit. The objective of continuous
innovative work is to work on these airplanes' flexibility, increment their freight limit, and
boost their exhibition
C) Aerodynamic control and stability
Unlike traditional fixed wing aircraft with long fuselages and flying wing aircraft with
unique aerodynamic designs flying wing aircraft have a simple structure and complex
stabilizers.
Yes! the four forces that keep the plane balanced are the same whether the plane has a tail
or not and lift is created by a combination of Newton's laws of motion and Bernoulli's
theorem. ^Stability^ is achieved through sweeping center of gravity (CG) positioning and
V wings roll and yaw movements interact dynamically and require attention. special idea.
balance in the design process This chapter covers all aspects of control and stability and
examines how design decisions affect performance and handling.
i) Pitch stability
The accuracy of the center of gravity relative to the aerodynamic center is essential for
pitch stability. A forward center of gravity improves static stability but requires a balance
between maneuverability and control responsiveness Wing sweep and dihedral contribute

greatly to pitch stability The dihedral effect helps the wing return to level flight after
disturbance while the curvature affects the lift distribution and pitch characteristics along
the bifurcation. Elevators play a dual role in pitch and roll control and require careful
construction to achieve optimal pitch stability Key considerations include coordination of
controls. surface motion and integration into the flight control system.
ii) Roll and Yaw Stability
A forward center of gravity improves static stability but must be balanced with
maneuverability and control feedback The wing's sweep and dihedral shape contribute
greatly to pitch stability The dihedral effect helps the wing return to level flight after
disturbance while the curvature affects the lift distribution and pitch characteristics along
the bifurcation Lifting frames play a dual role in controlling pitch and roll and require
careful construction to achieve optimal pitch stability Key considerations include
coordination of control surface movements and integration into the flight control system

CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW

This chapter provides a good understanding of our SDP “Flying Wing VTOL” by reviewing
abundant literature. Studies on aerodynamics, control systems and propulsion methods for VTOL
platforms are reviewed to extract valuable information and identify current knowledge gaps.
Research into existing flying wing designs, both conventional and VTOL, is scrutinized to draw
lessons learned about successful implementation and potential areas for improvement. Literature
related to surveillance applications and payload integration on VTOL platforms was carefully
reviewed to ensure the proposed design met the specific requirements of the surveillance mission.
Studies on the transition mechanisms between vertical and horizontal flight as well as the
challenges of maintaining stability and control during this transition are an integral part of the
literature review. Notable advances in materials science and manufacturing techniques for
lightweight yet durable airframes are explored, with the goal of informing decisions regarding the
design of VTOL flying wing structures. The assessment considers the latest developments in
sensor technology, avionics and related communications to enhance the surveillance capabilities
of the proposed platform. By synthesizing information from a variety of sources, the document
review serves as a roadmap for technical decisions on the Flying Wing VTOL project, providing
a comprehensive understanding of technology surveillance laws and methods. aircraft monitoring
and advanced VTOL systems [Today, Different automated flight frameworks have even or vertical
capacities; with few able to do full vertical take/off and landing activities, airplane with VTOL
flight frameworks can take off and land upward. These frameworks, in any case are either
profoundly complicated or expensive or power wasteful because of level flight, lessening their
reasonableness to business or confidential applications. With little automated aeronautical
frameworks turning out to be progressively famous in private business, and military business
sectors, worked on limited scope VTOL frameworks will furnish UAS pilots with expanded
capacities and huge benefits contrasted with standard fixed-wing or rotors A flight framework
planned in this application will accomplish VTOL capacities and hold the high speed and
broadened scope of ordinary fixed wing airplane while keeping a relatively low intricacy and cost.
In order to achieve these objectives, a design has been developed that uses power vertical lift
motors and porch mounting in wings that can rotate forward for horizontal flight transition with a
significantly smaller rear engine and smaller pod that provide low power and efficiency thrust
during horizontal flight operations A few cycles of this plan were built and tried to logically more

accomplishment with each arrangement The framework couldn't accomplish a fruitful progress to
even flight However Alexander Desilets project the creation of an effective vertical take off and
landing aircraft was based on the demonstration of vertical flight capabilities and the collection of
significant data for the purpose of assisting in the design of subsequent iterations The
accompanying paper shows that an aeronautical vehicle's security examination is fundamental and
vital to its plan system. It is of much more noteworthy importance for this situation of tailless
airplane, which are inclined to solidness issues. An unmanned aerial vehicle (MPU-RX-4)'s
vertical take-off and landing fix's aerodynamic and stability characteristics are the subject of this
study. MPU-RX-4 has a flying wing format and can perform ordinary flight like a normal fixed-
wing ethereal vehicle and vertical drifting like a multi-copter adjusting to various functional
requests and accomplishing quick field organization. In this review, the starter configuration
period of the MPU RX-4 is addressed, and the ethereal vehicle's streamlined exhibition security
and control conduct are evaluated utilizing semi-exact relationships and altered expressly for the
lightweight flying wing UAVs and computational liquid elements examination. The non
dimensional aerodynamic coefficients for various strike conditions, such as course, maximum
speed, etc., can be estimated using these correlations of the MPU-RX-4 flight climate. A
specialized CFD analysis is also used to verify the accuracy of the correlations. At last, the MPU-
RX-4 steadiness and control subsidiaries at the necessary control surface reflection for consistent
level flight are figured to survey its generally speaking streamlined exhibition and flight qualities
This paper presents the itemized plan of an instrument for progressing from vertical to flat trip of
an upward take off and landing fixed-wing automated elevated vehicle. The UAV created in the
structure of MPU research booklet under MPU-RX4 is a lightweight and electric-driven UAV with
a flying format The MPU-RX4 can perform both traditional flights like standard fixed-wing
aeronautical vehicles Fixed wing automated ethereal vehicles have been grown fundamentally
through the consummation many years of the twentieth 100 years at first for the military and later
for regular citizen activities and logical applications Lately non military personnel automated
ethereal frame works have radically expanded, with applications going from security and water
checking in support of search and salvage tasks The center of the shifting component plan
procedure lies in the essential kinematic model the computation of the heaps and the down to earth
execution acknowledgment of the UAV The proposed strategy starts with posting the plan
prerequisites and requirements, which prompts the main system idea These ideas are then assessed

with respect to the absolute weight intricacy/ consistency and wellbeing [1]. One of the design
developed by NASA is X-48C Hybrid Wing Body [3]. This is a scale-down model of a large
commercial transport aircraft that has reduced drag and improved aerodynamic efficiency because
of a blended wing body design. This aircraft is also equipped with three turbojet engines and can
take off and land vertically which makes it a promising candidate for future VTOL transportation.

One more Flying Wing VTOL design is DARPA VULTURE [4], Versatile Ultra-Long Endurance
Aircraft, which is a large UAV that has the capability of staying aloft for up to 5 years. The Vulture
is a high-efficient platform for surveillance and communication purposes, and it is also a low cost.
Secondly, the design of this Flying Wing allows it to remain aloft for extended periods without the
need for refueling, which makes it an ideal platform for long-term missions.

CHAPTER 3: DESIGN OBJECTIVES, ISSUES, AND THEIR

ANALYSIS
The meaning of plan objectives in directing and forming the course of any endeavor is gigantic
and we know its importance with respect to cultivating our Senior Design Project. The Flying
Wing VTOL These targets go probably as the endeavor's basic beliefs giving a sensible and
intentional heading by outlining the general focuses and desires and the precise meaning of
objectives is essential for our Flying Wing VTOL framework because it provides a means of
achieving the anticipated outcomes particularly the smooth combination of precision and
strength during vertical departure and landing. By defining explicit plan objectives we create
a framework that serves as a standard for evaluating the completed viability and outcome and
ensuring that it aligns with our larger vision
A) Complex Engineering Problem
The primary engineering challenge addressed in this FYP revolves around the design of the
project . Coordinating the VTOL capacity into a flying wing setup presents difficulties at
different levels of the plan interaction. We deal with the complexities of drive structures power
allocation and weight distribution in order to ensure optimal performance and endurance for
reconnaissance missions. The test requires us to have a thorough understanding of ideal
planning/ control systems materials science and undeniable level gathering strategies in order
to overcome the challenging planning obstacles that arise when switching between VTOL and
forward flight modes while maintaining constancy and responsiveness. This FYP means to
manage these intricacies head on extending the limits of raised discernment improvement by
looking out for the nuanced arranging complexities trademark in developing a Flying Wing
VTOL strategy of raised perception progression

Figure 3-1: Engineering Solution

i. Maintain Stability
Our essential goal is to plan an upward Departure and Landing (VTOL) framework to
achieve a decent blend of solidness and smooth vertical departure execution Our plan
reasoning depends on this essential objective, featuring the significance of the airplane
working impeccably and precisely during the departure and landing stages To investigate
the subtleties of this objective, we focused on VTOL framework improvement to ensure
soundness all through essential flight stages. A more complicated technique is expected
because of the intrinsic trouble of moving from a fixed stance to a precarious trip as well
as the other way around. Accordingly, we think about the streamlined setups complex
control calculations, and advancement of pushed to weight proportions in our plan
ii. Weight Distribution
have a fundamental difficulty in mindfully arranging our Flying Wing VTOL to achieve
the ideal point of convergence of gravity and weight scattering which is fundamental for
guaranteeing strength during the remarkable times of vertical and level flight. The exact
equilibrium required for the plane to perform its ascent and descent with polish is one of
the intricacies of this problem. utilizing refined reproductions, we cautiously analyze what
different loads mean for the airplane's general soundness. The purpose of this study goes

pg. 13 Page 15 of 60 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2778727913

 Page 16 of 60 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2778727913

beyond just identifying obstacles it also includes removing valuable experiences. Every
reenactment changes into a virtual material on which we can draw and cause a picture of
how the plane demonstrations in various weight conditions We to take apart the data,
looking at the confusing association between powers, masses, and equilibrium position
finally this point by point assessment shows what different weight blends mean for the
Flying Wing VTOL's consistent quality
iii. Cost Effectiveness:
In the mind boggling embroidery of our Senior Design Project Flying Wing VTOL
improvement the test of adjusting the expense viability and reasonableness of specialized
developments isn't just expense minimization it is an essential work to find a reasonable
equilibrium that upgrades both worth and execution and our solid obligation to this
objective is underlined by our cautious prioritization of innovations that offer ideal
presentation and cost. This core value guarantees that each specialized decision lines up
with our obligation to conveying unrivaled items The accentuation on productivity and
adequacy stretches out past the prompt plan stage and plans ahead thinking about the
possible versatility of the Flying Wing VTOL for large scale manufacturing. This forward-
looking point of view places cost viability and moderateness as a necessary piece of our
plan ethos cautiously planning a venture that places mechanical development at its center
as well as has a tremendous effect by being open as well as monetarily feasible. The Flying
Wing VTOL will be a testament to the aeronautical industry's technical prowess and
practical affordability because our approach goes beyond the conventional boundaries of
cost considerations and reconciles our commitment to excellence with accessibility.
iv. Material Selection:
We faced the complex challenge of adjusting basic keenness with weight optimization
through materials choice which may be a linchpin within the advancement of our Flying
Wing VTOL requesting a nuanced and thinking approach to designing and this issue
typifies a fragile harmony where the basis for vigorous essential judgment must coalesce
consistently with the foundation for weight productivity both critical variables that
specifically affect the execution and productivity of the aircraft
The body of your Flying Wing VTOL is a pivotal part of the plan as it offers primary help
for the whole airplane. While choosing materials for the body, it was vital to consider

pg. 14 Page 16 of 60 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2778727913

 Page 17 of 60 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2778727913

factors like weight, solidness, and simplicity of development. The decision to use
thermocol/an epoxy resin a hardener and a vinyl sticker was made after careful
consideration.
Thermocol, a sort of extended polystyrene froth, was picked for its lightweight properties.
This material is additionally modest and simple to cut and shape, which goes with it an
optimal decision for the body of an airplane. In any case, thermocol all alone isn't
sufficiently able to offer the important primary help for the Flying Wing VTOL. To support
the thermocol body and give strength and unbending nature, epoxy gum and hardener were
applied to the body. Epoxy is a kind of thermosetting polymer that is known for its
phenomenal grip, substance obstruction, and mechanical properties. The hardener, when
blended in with the epoxy gum, makes a synthetic response that creates a hard and tough
material that is great for use in airplane development.
The utilization of vinyl stickers to the outside of the body is one more significant part of
the material choice interaction. These stickers were applied to work on the streamlined
features of the body and give a smooth completion. The smooth surface of the vinyl stickers
diminishes choppiness and drag, which can work on the general execution of the airplane.
Furthermore the vinyl stickers can be handily eliminated and supplanted which makes them
an exceptionally flexible material
The blend of thermocol, epoxy, hardener, and vinyl sticker gives serious areas of strength
for a lightweight body that is likewise simple to develop and change. These materials were
painstakingly chosen in view of their properties and benefits, and they are a superb decision
for the development of the Flying Wing VTOL
We decided on a technique merging state of the art methodologies to address this multi-
layered challenge, with restricted part assessment as an establishment and FEA fills in as a
cutting edge device to dive profoundly into the fundamental components of the Flying
Wing VTOL giving a granular comprehension of push centers, stack movements, and
likely fragile locale. We carefully examine the structure's response under various
operational conditions through this explanation focal point allowing us to identify and
address push concentrations that could compromise essential integrity
Our obligation to achieving an ideal change between a harmony between primary weight
effectiveness is a perplexing test in fostering a Flying Wing VTOL A methodology that

gives cautious thought to material determination is expected for our task For this issue we
have decided to use advanced procedures and unmistakable part assessment FEA has been
used by us for the evaluation of fundamental parts , including load movements and
anticipated weak districts Despite virtual assessment we investigate direct comprehensive

Airfoil Selection

Our design goals focused on achieving excellent stability and precision during vertical takeoff
and landing laying the foundation for our radial transformation in aviation. The choice of the
aerodynamic configuration of our SDP was very important. After a lot of research and testing,
different aerodynamic configurations were tested and we tried to choose the best airfoil. When
it comes to flying wings the aircraft depends on many different factors, including desired
performance characteristics, configuration requirements, and aerodynamic considerations, and
there is no aerodynamic configuration ideal suitable for all purposes, but yes, it depends on
the specific application of the appropriate aircraft. But for flying wings, we prefer to use
specialized airfoils because flying wing aircraft do not have a fuselage and that is why we need
to design aircraft with airfoils that provide the ability Good lift/balance good drag and stability
for its uniqueness. configuration factors considered when selecting an airfoil are single swept
wings To improve stability and control, Flying wings have swept wings that’s why the airfoil

 Page 23 of 60 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2778727913

we chose is the MH-60 which is suitable for the swept wing style. High lift and drag ratios are
often necessary to maximize efficiency and operating range. Low drag improves fuel efficiency
and overall performance. It is very important to minimize drag and airfoils with low drag
characteristics are preferred. Stability engineers and designers should pay attention to aircraft
stability requirements and select airfoils with the highest stability characteristics. Control
surfaces for flying-wing aircraft are required. All control surfaces work perfectly to achieve
the desired level of control

Figure 4-3: Airfoil Selected

Benefits of using this airfoil are as follows:

o Swept Wings: To enhance stability and control, flying wings often have swept wings,
and the airfoil that we selected, which is MH-60, is suitable for swept wings.
o High Lift to Drag Ratio: When designing an aircraft, High Lift to Drag Ratio is
generally required to maximize efficiency and range.
o Low Drag: For improving fuel efficiency and overall performance, minimizing drag is
very important, and airfoils with low drag characteristics are favored.
o Stability: An engineer or designer has to carefully give attention to the requirements
for the stability of the aircraft, and he should choose that airfoil which has the high
stability characteristics.
o Control Surfaces: For a flying wing aircraft, it is necessary that all the control surfaces
are working perfectly, so that the desirable control is achieved.

C) XFLR Design and Result

Figure 5-10: Results on XFLR5

CFX was done on whole body from angle of attack from -10 degrees to +10 degrees. Result are
satisfying because on high angle of attack there is high pressure on top whereas the body shows
desirable results on low angle of attack. As our application requires Flying Wing VTOL to operate
at low angle of attack so results are perfect.
