Determining and analyzing the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) propulsion system and S-duct inlet design

The AIAA Foundation annually sponsors design competitions thatprovide an excellent platform for students to engage in real-worldproblem-solving experiences. Participants have the opportunity to accruevaluable insights and constructive feedback from technical expertsserving on AIAA Technical Committees. In a recent competition, teamswere tasked with designing an air vehicle to find and identify victimstrapped in natural disasters and in need of first responder help. Thisreport, however, specifically focuses on the engine selection, along withthe associated on-design and off-design analyses. In addition, for thereasons mentioned in this research, the engine is integrated into theUAV's body, necessitating the design of an S-shaped inlet.
