    Composite Materials Application for Rotorcraft Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Performance Improvement
    (National Aviation University, 2023-12) Zhosan, Oleksandr; Жосан, Олександр Юрійович
    Rotorcraft performance improvement through the application of composite materials; application composite materials for enhancing the performance of rotorcraft in terms of efficiency, durability, and overall operational capabilities were described in this study. The aim of the master thesis is the development of a rotorcraft rotor system with improved performance characteristics through the strategic integration of composite materials, focusing on increased efficiency during various operational phases. In the research and development part evaluation of rotor system performance with theoretical preliminary modeling was performed, emphasizing the optimization of aerodynamic efficiency using tools such as SolidWorks Simulation and Flow Simulation modules. SolidWorks software was used for the modeling and strength analysis of rotor system components made from composite materials. Aim was achieved with introduction of a simple modern design for rotorcraft systems applying composite materials, along with the development of innovative rotor blades to enhance performance. The study will contribute to advancing the application of composites in rotorcraft design. Results can be used for fabrication, assembly, and testing of rotorcraft components using composite materials to validate their performance improvements. Recommendations will be provided for optimizing the rotorcraft's rotor system layout, emphasizing that the proposed composite components can be seamlessly integrated without necessitating significant alterations to the fundamental structure.
