The project aims at developing and validating propulsion systems technologies for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) having long and high altitude missions. The focus of the project is a propulsion system based on a two-stroke diesel engine adopting a hybrid supercharging system to guarantee the target power in high altitude missions. The supercharging system includes standard turbo charger directly coupled with a high-speed electrical machine. Such a system can recover energy from the turbine or give energy to the compressor depending on the mission profile so to optimize overall system performances. A synchronous reluctance motor/generator capable of developing 5 kW at 50.000 rpm was developed in the Energy Factory Bari laboratory, a joint initiative of Politecnico di Bari and AVIO AERO.

Abstract
The project aims at developing and validating propulsion systems technologies for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) having long and high altitude missions. The focus of the project is a propulsion system based on a two-stroke diesel engine adopting a hybrid supercharging system to guarantee the target power in high altitude missions. The supercharging system includes standard turbo charger directly coupled with a high-speed electrical machine. Such a system can recover energy from the turbine or give energy to the compressor depending on the mission profile so to optimize overall system performances. A synchronous reluctance motor/generator capable of developing 5 kW at 50.000 rpm was developed in the Energy Factory Bari laboratory, a joint initiative of Politecnico di Bari and AVIO AERO.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
