Demonstrations With Panther UAS At Annual Conference On
Aerospace Sciences
New methods for take off and landing of Unmanned Aerial System
(UAS), implemented in the Panther UAS, will be presented by Israel
Aerospace Industries (IAI) at the 52nd Israel Annual Conference on
Aerospace Sciences. The Conference on Aerospace Sciences is held
every year by the Israel society of aerospace sciences. Lectures
are given by world leading experts and representatives from the
Israeli defense and Hi-Tech industries, the Israel Air Force, and
leading Israeli academic institutions.
This year's conference ... held on February 29th at Dan Panorama
Hotel in Tel Aviv and on March 1st at the Technion Campus in Haifa
... includes presentations of new aeronautical, commercial and
military aviation state-of-the-art technologies will by first-class
experts from various countries. The chair of the program committee
is Gila Ghilai from IAI.
Optimization of prop-rotor design for V/STOL electrically powered
UAS is one of the subjects that will be presented by IAI's experts.
A prop-rotor design method for an electric propulsion system will
be explained in details. The design was adapted for IAI Panther
UAS, powered by three electrical engines. The Panther is designed
for vertical take-off and landing like a helicopter, and level
straight flight as a fixed-wing aircraft.
Prop-rotor design problem involves a compromise between two
different flight conditions: hover and cruise. This drives the
designer to use multidisciplinary design optimization methods. The
design framework is based on ESTECO modeFrontier design
environment. The process formulation refers to a multi-goal design
problem with several design constraints.
Among other subjects to be presented by IAI's experts are: missile
guidance, structural integrity of aircraft, recent innovations in
IAI's new business jet program, specialized airframe technology for
UAS and civil applications for UAS and Maritime UAS.
