Design of a lightweight unmanned airship under vehicle-transport constraints and multi-objective optimization of a prestressed frame
A 3 m-class lightweight unmanned airship is proposed for near-human security inspection, where multirotor UAVs are limited by endurance, downwash, and close-range safety concerns. A vehicle-transportable semi-rigid frame composed of carbon-fiber tubes and segmented prestressed cable-nets is designed. A beam-cable finit...
