Corsica is a common project from ISAE - SUPAERO and ENAC. The challenge is to develop a mini-electric UAV able to fly over the Mediterranean sea from Nice to Corsica (distance : 180km).
You will find other pictures here : Corsica Picasa
Trip
We will take off around Nice and land at Calvi. The distance to fly is about 180km.
Specifications
- Span: 1.5 m
- Wing area: 0.21 m2
- Weight: 2 kg
- Cruise speed: 15 m/s = 54km/h
- Batteries: 3 lipo-cells, 21Ah tested at 18Ah
- Range: 250km
Performances
Corsica should be capable to fly more than 250km at its designed conditions. Only the batteries have been tested and are not as good as expected. According to our last calculations, the first prototype should be able to fly around 220km.
News
The manufacturing is in process and the first plane should be ready by the end of January. The first prototype is ready to fly and the first flight is scheduled March 5.
Planning
First manufactured plane in early February
First flight in early March
Second manufactured plane in late March
Third manufactured plane in late April
Trip to Corsica in early June
Wiring
Motor : SRV0
Right : SRV2
Left : SRV6
Elevator : SRV7
Current sensor : ADC3 (ie ADC1)
Gyro : ADC5 (ie ADC2)
Battery yellow wire : 3.7V
Battery white wire : 7.4V
ESC idle consumption : 90 mA
Tiny idle consumption : 120 mA
Corsica idle consumption : 250 mA -> 3W
Batteries internal resistance : 53 mOhm
Communication
We will use an onboard GSM transceiver who will send to a ground station the position, battery voltage, speed ... each minute. We hope the GSM network will work in the middle of the sea.
