Maximum Range Calculation of an Electric Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

In this study, a low-weight unmanned aerial vehicle design and flow analyzes were carried out. The ability of the aircraft, which can stay in the air for 15 minutes with a cruising speed of 15 m/s and a maximum flight altitude of 1000 meters, can provide the necessary aerodynamic forces has also been supported by OpenVSP analysis. Thanks to these aerodynamic forces, the aircraft has a range of 13.5 km and can perform its mission by displaying a stable flight at all points of this diameter.
