Summary:

This book will cover several UAV propulsion technologies, ranging from modification of conservative designs to assessing the potential of unconventional arrangements. Each chapter provides a glimpse of how researchers are leveraging different fuel types, powerplants, and system architectures in the pursuit of powerful, efficient, and robust UAV propulsion. By developing higher-performing propulsion systems-whether through the refinement of existing technologies like two-stroke heavy-fuel engines and hybrid-electric arrangements or the investigation of new concepts such as dielectric barrier discharge-engineers will be able to increase UAV capabilities for the world's developing aviation needs.

Contents:

Chapter 1. Achieving reliable cold starts in a stepped piston engine

Chapter 2. Exploring a series hybrid-electric arrangement

Chapter 3. Distributed hydrogen-fueled propulsion for Hale UAVs

Chapter 4. Rotary power beyond the wankel

Chapter 5. Plasma propelled UAVs and dielectric barrier discharge.
