Investigation of Rotor Efficiency with Varying Rotor Pitch Angle for a Coaxial Drone
Giljarhus, Knut Erik Teigen; Apeland, Jørgen; Porcarelli, Alessandro (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04)Coaxial rotor systems are appealing for multirotor drones, as they increase thrust without increasing the vehicle’s footprint. However, the thrust of a coaxial rotor system is reduced compared to having the rotors in line. ... -
Sensitivity Study of Design Parameters for a Fuel Cell Powered Multirotor Drone
Apeland, Jørgen; Pavlou, Dimitrios; Hemmingsen, Tor Henning (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The use of multirotor drones for industrial applications is accelerating, and fuel cell based propulsion systems are highlighted as a promising approach to improve endurance – one of the current main limitations. Due to ... -
Suitability Analysis of Implementing a Fuel Cell on a Multirotor Drone
Apeland, Jørgen; Pavlou, Dimitrios; Hemmingsen, Tor (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-05)Increased flight time of multirotor drones is a key enabler for further adoption and industrial use of drones. A model for analyzing the performance of a fuel cell hybrid system for a multirotor drone is presented and ... -
Use of Fuel Cells to Extend Multirotor Drone Endurance
Apeland, Jørgen (PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2021-10)Unmanned aerial systems can be used for a range of industrial applications to reduce risk, cost, and time. Fuel cell-based propulsion systems are outlined as a solution to extend mission endurance, one of the current main ...
