Nose Cone Design of an Aerial Drop Vehicle
PúblicoConteúdo disponível para baixar
open in viewerThe Sonobuoy Precision Aerial Drop (SPAD) vehicle developed by KaZaK Composites, launched from an aircraft will pilot a sensor package to the ocean surface. This project evaluates a spring-loaded, an inflatable, a rubber, and a foam nose-cone concept for SPAD. Results from aerodynamic analysis of the nose cone are used in structural analysis performed with ANSYS. Fabrication and experimentation with selected concepts supports the analysis. The rubber nose concept conforms with the requirements for structural integrity, weight, functionality, and cost.
