Fixed Wing Electric Drone Concept for Titan Exploration

Titan is a hospitable environment for fixed-wing drones with its dense atmosphere and low gravitational acceleration. In this study, a fixed-wing drone concept is designed. Fundamental parameters of the aircraft are decided using a matching plot and a fixed pitch propeller propulsion system is designed using blade element momentum theory. The weight of the aircraft is estimated using the empirical relations present in TAI UAV Division. The performance of the aircraft is estimated as a conclusion.
