Abstract

Due to small and light mission payloads, subsystems and propulsion system, small sized UAVs come to be available for reconnaissance that have been performed by aircraft and huge UAVs. The objective of this study is to develop an efficient propulsion system for small reconnaissance UAVs. A glow engine was modified for an efficient and robust 4-stroke gasoline engine with carburetor, new electronic control unit and lubrication system. Engine modification technique and small engine performance test stand are capable of economical method for military UAVs.
