About this document

UAV Power Analysis: MQ-9 Case Study by Giannina Bassi is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document presents a guide for analyzing the performance of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with the goal of replacing conventional propulsion systems with renewable energy sources. It provides equations to estimate the mechanical power required for different flight phases of UAVs with either propeller-driven or jet engines. As a case study, it estimates unknown parameters of the MQ-9 Reaper UAV and calculates its power requirements from takeoff to landing. The results are validated by comparing to the
