The use of alternative fuels to traditional kerosene-based ones in turbo-jet engines is currently being widely explored and researched. However, the application area small turbojet with thrust ratings up 2 kilo-newtons, which are used as auxiliary power units or propel aircraft drones, not well This paper explores ethanol a sustainable fuel its effects on operation engine under laboratory condi...

Fuel cells are applied to power sources on unmanned aerial vehicles with long endurance save fuel and increase endurance. A turbine-less engine integrated solid oxide was proposed in our previous work. With the variation of cell area, specific consumption weight both sharply changes, which severely affected aircraft equipped engine. Therefore, mathematical models considering performance were bu...
