AGARD Advisory Report No. 101 ENGINES FOR SMALL PROPELLER-DRIVEN RPVs Report of Sub-Group A of AGARD Working Group on Propulsion and Power Supplies for Unmanned Vehicles

摘要

The aim of this study follows from the terms of reference, which were defined by Working Group 06 for sub-group A:na. To prepare a short survey of the state of the art of the propulsion technology of small, propeller-driven Remotely Piloted Vehicles as used for several missions, e.g. battle field surveillance, target-designation and defense suppression.nb. To give an outline of the efforts which are required to improve the engines for application into opera¬tional RPV's.nc. To prepare an inventory of available engines and their main characteristics (power, weight, fuel consumption, etc.).
