Abstract: |
For the purposes of development of a
small and autonomously operated airship, a need to create a model of its
propelling and motion has arisen. Being described within this paper, the
model defines the requirements that are imposed to motors, propellers and the
airship's controlling system. The model is based on a typical design of a
small airship, that consists of two main propellers, being placed symetrically according to the gondola beneath the
airship's bladder, and one tail propeller that is placed transversely at the
airship's tail. According to this model, forces needed to move the airship in
the desired direction can be estimated as well as the power consumption of
the motors and angular velocity of the propellers. Although the dynamic model
of the airship would exceed the framework of this paper, it is also described
in broad terms and the results of two main simulations are presented hereby.
The simulations describe the behavior of the airship in case of forward
acceleration and braking as well as in case of yawing with such braking that
ensures reaching of the desired yawing angle. |
