The
UV-4 eVTOL UAV is an unmanned vehicle designed to transport cargo via
autonomous or remote pilot operations. This model was created to display
the potential of a duct fan rotor craft
powered by multiple electric motors.
Since
its launch in 2015, continued advancements and improvements to the air
frame and power plant are been completed to produce the most efficient
means of powered flight while using
a smaller and quieter ducted fan system. The electrical systems on the
aircraft use a network of batteries, invertor, and generators. An
electrical charge then powers the mechanism used to spin the propeller
to its desired rate per minute, producing lift or
thrust.
This
new update offers the most comprehensive and complete aircraft
simulation of the UV-4 to date. This fly-by-wire system is a first of
its kind and would not be possible without many
years of research. This update for X-Plane 11 stands as the most
realistic version of this program ever created. There is no cheating in
real-world physics with our geometric modelling. Hence, you are really
flying this aircraft and we are proud to provide
you this experience.
