Reduced-Order Dynamic Modelling of the Wankel Engine Employed in the Hybrid Propulsion System of a Lightweight Helicopter UAV
Abstract. This work deals with the development of a reduced-order dynamic model of a Wankel rotary engine for the propulsion of a lightweight helicopter UAV, to be used for in-flight health-monitoring. The model, which is real-time executable by the on-board electronics of the UAV, includes the simulation of mechanical...
