Research On The Conceptual Design Of Multipurpose Supersonic UAV

The conceptual design of the new multipurpose supersonic UAV (abbreviating supersonic UAV) is a significant national defense research subject, and a basically applied beforehand research job. Three design configurations of supersonic UAV have been designed: the conventional configuration, the tailless configuration and the canard configuration. In this paper, the conceptual design of the supersonic UAV, the CFD calculation, the weight estimation, the cost analysis and the stealth remodelment design are completed.The main job indicated by follow parts:1) The requirements and performance target of the supersonic UAV.2) The conceptual design of this three UAV configurations and using the CFD engineering software to get the aerodynamics characteristic.3) The weight estimation, cost analysis and performance analysis of the three UAV configurations.4) Study on the different effectiveness between this three configurations and finding out the best one by effectiveness evaluation.5) Stealth remodelment design of the best supersonic UAV configuration.
