Feasibility Analysis on Electric Transformation of SW1 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Abstract

Electric aircraft is booming in the field of general aviation at home and abroad, and affects the future development direction of aviation. Using electric propulsion technology to transform unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) can greatly improve the safety, reliability and maintainability of UAV and reduce the running cost. SW1 UAV is taken as the object of electric transformation, the electric transformation scheme is proposed, the main parameters of motor and lithium battery pack in the electric propulsion system are calculated and analyzed in detail, and the feasibility of the transformation of the UAV is analyzed from the weight, center of gravity, performance and the installation form of the electric propulsion system. The results show that the electric transformation of SW1 UAV is feasible, and the problems that need to be paid attention to the subsequent transformation are put forward.
