Powerline Perching with a Fixed-Wing UAV
Small and micro UAVs have enabled a number of new mission capabilities, including navigating in and around buildings and performing perch-and-stare surveillance. However, one of the primary limitations of these small vehicles is endurance, simply because they cannot carry sufficient power for long missions. Recent advances in fixed-wing perching have made it possible to consider a new solution ...
متن کاملQuad Tilt Wing VTOL UAV: Aerodynamic Characteristics and Prototype Flight
A QTW VTOL UAV, featured tandem tilt wings and propellers mounted at the mid-span of each wing, is one of the most promising UAV configurations having both a VTOL capability and high cruise performance. A small prototype QTW UAV has been constructed to prove the concept and full transition between vertical and horizontal flight has been successfully demonstrated under remote manual control. The...
متن کاملFractional Order Flight Control of a Small Fixed-wing Uav: Controller Design and Simulation Study
This paper focuses on designing and implementation of fractional order proportional integral (PIα) flight controller on a small fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It describes mainly the controller design and simulation studies. The basics of UAV flight control are introduced first with a special emphasis on small UAV platforms. Time domain system identification methods are tried on the ...
متن کاملTransition Flight of Quad Tilt Wing Vtol Uav
The QTW VTOL UAV, which features tandem tilt wings with propellers mounted at the mid-span of each wing, is one of the most promising UAV configurations, having both VTOL capability and high cruise performance. A six-degree-of-freedom dynamic simulation model covering the full range of the QTW flight envelope was developed and a flight control system including a transition schedule and a stabil...
متن کاملHybrid Propulsion System Design of a VTOL Tailsitter UAV
Tailsitter UAVs with their combined vertical take off and landing (VTOL) and fixed-wing aircraft with full flightspeed regime capability provides a distinct alternative to rotary-wing and ducted fan UAVs (OAVs). ITU-BYU Tailsitter concept aims to obtain the energy efficient regimes across the VTOL and the cruising flight regimes. This paper describes the hybrid propulsion system design approach...
