Abstract

This paper involves a computational study of the weight characteristics of the air-craft, as well as the determination of its aerodynamic characteristics. As a result of the work, a calculation model of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was obtained, whose aerodynamic and layout characteristics are superior to those of analogues. The operating process of the hybrid power plant is investigated. Computational studies of the energy parameters of the cryogenic engine, calculation of the optimal parameters of the piston expander, determination of the efficiency and power, the choice of the optimal working body. A methodology has been developed for computational studies of the energy parameters of cryogenic power plants that include a piston expander.

Keywords:
