Abstract:In order to improve the loading performance of UAV, a new type aerodynamic configuration of joined wing with twinfuselage is designed, and a basic and improved layout model is established. The aerodynamic characteristics of the two configurations are studied in detail by FLUENT. The simulation results show that the joinedwing with twinfuselage layout is good in aerodynamic performance, its lifttodrag ratio in cruise can reach more than 16. With the improvements such as blended wingbody, nose modification and connection procession at front and rear wings, its liftdrag performance greatly improves. When the angle of attack (AOA) is at 2°, the lift coefficient and lifttodrag ratio of improved configuration increase by 1.8% and 9.1% respectivly, the drag coefficient is reduced by 6.7%, and the stall performance is higher. Besides, compared with the basic configuration, the pressure distribution in nose and wingbody connection of improved configuration is effectively reduced with AOA of 2°, the significantly separation doesn’t occur at rear wing of improved configuration at the AOA of 12°. The preliminary flight test shows that both configurations possess excellent flight performance, and there is hope of an application in military and civilian transportation, rescue, reconnaissance and other fields.
