Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been extensively used for a wide range of applications since World War-II. UAVs are used for several defence purposes such as surveillance, communication, terrain mapping, reconnaissance, and attack. In this chapter, we discuss reciprocating internal combustion engine as a propulsion system for UAVs and the challenges in development of such an engine for aviation. The reciprocating piston engine is one of the most effective powerplants to energise the UAVs. The purpose of these propulsion systems in UAVs is to provide durable, reliable, and extended flight. Currently, no such engine for UAV applications are manufactured in India, and defence sector relies on imported engines only, which severely restricts their application for various other defence applications. This chapter addresses technical issues present in these systems, thus contributing to their development. Aspects related to structural and thermal analysis of engine components have also been discussed, which are essential for designing such engines. This chapter gives broad idea about future of UAV propulsion systems and associated challenges.
