Bachelor Thesis: Landing gear design for integration of fuel cells into a UAV
2023
Overview
A landing gear system for integrating a battery-hydrogen hybrid system into an intermeshing-rotor helicopter UAV for high-altitude missions. The design involved comprehensive requirements analysis, CAD modeling in CATIA V5, and FEM-based optimization to ensure a compact, lightweight structure free of resonance issues.
Key Highlights
- Comprehensive analysis of eVTOL technologies and landing gear requirements
- Conceptual design and detailed CAD modeling using CATIA V5
- Frequency Simulation and stress analysis with the Finite Element Method (FEM)
- Emphasis on lightweight construction, performance optimization, and economic production
The resulting design meets all critical technical demands and lays the groundwork for future hydrogen-powered UAVs.
