Study Notes
Drone Applications
- Drones are used for defense and military purposes
- Drones are used for photography and videography
- Drones are used for transporting goods
Forces in Aerodynamics
- Lift: Pushes the drone upwards
- Thrust: Propels the drone forward
- Gravity (Weight): Pulls the drone downwards
- Drag: Opposes thrust and pushes the drone backward
Types of Drones
- Fixed-wing drones
- ITA drones
- Multi-rotor drones
- Single-rotor drones
Bernoulli's Principle
- Bernoulli's principle explains that air speeds up over the curved upper surface of an airfoil
- Air has to travel faster over the curved upper surface, thus resulting in lower pressure above the wing
- The higher pressure below the wing pushes the drone upwards.
