Description

An increasing number of different VTOL configurations are being designed with propellers. For these concepts, the propellers often have to pass through a transition phase of the aircraft where they experience varying angles and speeds of inflow. This is not the design case for a normal propeller and therefore requires further investigation. In order to be able to investigate many different influencing factors of the propeller design, it is planned to build a rotary testing environment in nonaxial inflow conditions. To create these nonaxial inflow conditions, the test stand will be mounted on a vehicle. In the course of this thesis, the measurement system of the test stand shall be designed. This encompasses (depending on thesis start date and project progress) the definition of measurement requirements, sensor selection and positioning, synchronous data collection and storage as well as real time data display. Also the topics of shielding and grounding of the data cables, measurement units and the test stand will also be an important topic as the test stand will feature an electrical drive. Depending on the project progress the selected components will be purchased during the thesis timeframe and the integration of the measurement system into the test stand as well as the calibration and a first test campaign can also be included into the work if wanted.

Requirements

High motivation and the ability to familiarize yourself independently with new topics.

Experience with:

 -electronics,

-sensor and measurement techniques

-cabling and shielding

-real time computing and synchronisation

is beneficial, but not necessary.
