Abstract :
In designing an aircraft, there are many aspects that must be met in order to
achieve good flight operational effectiveness, one of which is the static stability aspect of
the airplane's flying conditions. The aircraft is declared statically stable if the aircraft
can return to its original condition after receiving interference from outside. Static
stability analysis must be carried out to determine the static stability characteristics of
the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) prior to production.
The analysis was carried out using XFLR5 software by modeling the Unmanned
Aerial Vehicle (UAV), placing the mass value points of each component of the aircraft,
as well as analyzing the static stability of the longitudinal, lateral and directional
dimensions.
The value of the static stability of the longitudinal dimension without a payload is
Cma -0,0127/deg and CmO -0,0067 for conditions given a payload of Cma -0,00396/deg
and CmO -0,0082. The value of the lateral dimension without payload is ClB -
0,00007/deg and with payload is ClB -0,00009/deg. The value of the directional
dimension without payload is CnB 0.0022/deg and the condition with payload is
CnB 0.0021/deg. The effect of the incidence angle of the horizontal tail is that the more
negative the incidence angle is, the more positive the resulting value will be. Meanwhile,
the effect of the incidence angle of the dihedral wing is that the more positive the
incidence angle is, the more negative the resulting value will be. Aircraft requirements
can be met by applying the incidence angle of the horizontal tail -5° and the incidence
angle of the dihedral wing 2°.
