Kyushu Institute of Technology has been conducting research on Mars flight exploration flight system utilizing microwave power transmission. This study aims at design, prototype production and performance tests of a small unmanned aerial vehicle which has the flight control system. The performance of rectenna, propulsion system, and aircraft were tested in the anechoic radio wave chamber of A-METLAB at RISH (Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere) of Kyoto University. The requiring electric power for horizontal flight was estimated based on the aerodynamic characteristics. The number of rectennas were determined from the power required for horizontal flight, operating the actuators, and the power required for communication. This small unmanned aerial vehicle remotely controlled by infrared communication. Based on the results of flight test, the design method of the microwave powered aircraft was studied. |
