...Ahmet Sumnu; Veysel Erol; Yuksel Eraslan Purpose This study aims to optimize the acoustic power level of the APC11x4.7SF unmanned aerial vehicle ( UAV ) propeller using the Taguchi design of experiment approach. This research focuses on enhancing UAV propeller aerodynamic performance...

... aircraft model. Design/methodology/approach Two designs of experiment algorithms in combination with surrogate modelling are investigated. An adaptive algorithm is compared to an industry-standard algorithm used as a benchmark. Numerical experiments are obtained solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier...
