Super NASA computers simulate a whirlwind from a drone plane

NASA has released an animated simulation video that takes place around a drone plane, based on results from a supercomputer.

If you have been blown down from the top of the drone by a propeller, you will know that in order to move the four rotating blades, force of any size. In an effort to improve the design and flight mechanics of future drone aircraft, NASA has used supercomputers to simulate how the air flows, and the resulting images are incredibly complex.

The simulation results, based on the 3D model of a quadcopter called DJI Phantom 3 , show not only how the airflow is ejected from the propeller, but also the interaction between the airflow with an X-shaped structure of the drone body. This study, conducted at NASA's Ames Research Center, also confirmed that doubling the number of blades would nearly double the propulsion of the drone, allowing it to lift heavier objects. and make this medium useful when it comes to practicality - not just for video recording from the air.

Today, drone is being commercialized and widely used. With the advantages of easy production, compact, highly mobile, they are used to film, transport goods and also for military purposes. The big online retailer in the US, Amazon, has launched Amazon Prime Air to use Drone to deliver the goods to its customers. Drone has also been used by the US military for reconnaissance, reconnaissance and destroying purposes.
