Total Energy-Based Approach in VX-3 UAV Flight Dynamics Analysis

By the term of flight dynamics, we refer to the general study of performance, stability and control particularly for VX- 3 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) during the flight. Each of these aspects of aircraft flight is described separately through the defined flight regime conditions and considering the specific aircraft configuration and geometry aspects. The calculation of an individual flight mode involves the analysis and definition of kinematic and dynamic parameters that are entered into the equations of motion derived from 2nd Newton's Law. The result of the calculated performance is shown in the diagram of the dependence of height and speed (H-V diagram) with a parametric representation of other quantities of interest. Performance diagram show the envelope, i.e. the operating area of an aircraft with optimal modes of interest and maximum operational limitations (e.g. maximum altitude or flight ceiling).
