    SECTION 2: LIMITATIONS

    Introduction

    On this section, the main limitations for the aircraft are given, according to general securityaspects from the FAA. As an electric powered aircraft, maximum speeds are never exceededon straight an level flight, and most of the times structural damage speeds or loads are notreached on climb because of stall limitations, but the operator of the UAV must take inaccount the restrictions during pull down maneuvers or hard turns.

    NOTE:Most of the FAA speed limitations are given for reciprocating engine aircrafts. This UAV, as asmaller airplane has some different speed limitations and in the case of the Never ExceedSpeed, this is given by the engine power and it must be taken also as a security mark forpull down maneuverings, where aerodynamic forces are critical because of gravity positiveacceleration. Also, this aircraft has no flaps or high-lift devices.

    Kind of Operation Limits

    This UAV is mainly designed for recognition and recording during day operation, unless theinstallation of a night vision light camera. The service ceiling for the aircraft is about 15110ft over the sea level, but the quality of the camera is an important factor on operation atpatrolling or video-photography recording. As an UAV, the range is limited not only by thebattery charge, but its limited by the radio contact range, taking in account that large-rangeequipment are heavier and may compromise the performance of the aircraft.

    NOTE:Ground Roll distances are calculated according to stall speed for a lift coefficient of 0,2,according to the angle of attack of the wing with the aircraft in land. Distances are

    calculated on Dry concrete. Ground roll on grass may be greater due the effect of the frictionof grass on small UAV Tires. Total distance includes an obstacle height of 15 m or 50 ft andan average lift coefficient of 0,775, according to the angle of attack variation during rotation.

    Example:At 6000 Ft, for ISA+20, the maximum rate of climb that you can get is about 1051,5 Ft. If you want to climb to7000 Ft it will probably take almost 1 minute (57 seconds). For big increases, this calculation must be done byintervals, due the R/C variation with altitude.

    NOTE:Power and Thrust given by the engine-propeller joint may be affected by height. Thisvariation is taken form experimental data, where the service ceiling is about 15110 Ft overthe sea level. This variation on power is generated by the density decrease with altitude,where the joint propels less air per revolution.

This means more time to get a higher altitude. Above15000 Ft, climbing is not recommended, due the restrictions of the engine and stall speeds.

    Angles above Maximum climb angle cant be reached, and if they are, it will generate stall or failure at controls.

    NOTE:For other altitudes above 12750 ft or less than 6000 ft, maximum climb angle cant bereached due the effect of stall. Although, the maximum rate of climb is not necessarilyrelated with the maximum climb angle, and for these altitudes, maximum rate of climb isgenerally used.

To get higher speed with this Power percentage,take a lower cruise altitude. This will make the propeller joint more efficient, but it would also generate more

    drag, reducing the endurance.

    Endurance

    NOTE: Endurance has no considerable variation with altitude due the kind of engine usedon this UAV. Generally, electric motors are not affected by environmental temperaturevariations, and, even though the power given by the engine-propeller joint could be reducedby density decrease, the energy consumed by the engine is the same. (Simply this energy isnot totally used and it is wasted).

    Example for Range and Endurance:Departure Runway pressure altitude: 4000 Ft.OAT 10CGross Weight: 7 KgPower Output: 75%Speed at this power output: 57 Knots.Range: About 15 NM Until Batteries discharge.

    Endurance: About 14 Minutes.To get further ranges, use 55% Power. It will increase the endurance and the Range, but you will get slowerspeed.

    NOTE:The gliding distance are assumed with a descent angle of 5,04 nose down, or -5,04. Thisgliding angle is based on the maximum aerodynamic efficiency, with 11,32 Lift Units perevery Drag Unit. These distances should not be affected by temperature or density

    variations, because its only affected by drag coefficients and geometrical relations on theaircraft.

    Example for Engine Loss:Engine Loss Pressure altitude: 12000 FtDistance: About 22 NMAngle of Descent: 5,04 Nose DownSpeed: 36,9 Knots. According to the Maximum Efficiency Speed (See the next Chart)If you lose the engine at lower speed than Maximum efficiency speed, you should dive softly the Aircraft untilreach the Maximum efficiency speed. When this speed is reached stop diving and put 5,04 Nose Down. Thenrecalculate your gliding distance at the new altitude. This maneuver is made to avoid reaching stall speed with

    an engine loss.

    Example:Landing runway pressure altitude: 4000 Ft.OAT 17CWind: 15 Knots HeadwindGross Weight: 7 KgLanding Distance: Approximately 455 m of total runway, taking in account 163 m for ground roll. Take inaccount that with the increase on the temperature and altitude, you will probably need a larger runway.

    NOTE:Ground Roll distances are calculated according to stall speed for a lift coefficient of 0,2,according to the angle of attack of the wing with the aircraft in land. Distances arecalculated on Dry concrete. Ground roll on grass may be greater due the effect of the friction

    of grass on small UAV Tires. Total distance includes an obstacle height of 15 m or 50 ft andan average lift coefficient of 0,775, according to the angle of attack variation duringapproach.
