A Small UAV Optimized for Efficient Long-Range and VTOL Missions: An Experimental Tandem-Wing Quadplane Drone
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most types of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV, drone) missions requiring Vertical-Take-Off-and-Landing (VTOL) capability could benefit if a drone’s effective range be extended. Example include Search-And-Rescue (SAR) operations, remote inspection distant objects, or parcel delivery. There are numerous research works on multi-rotor drones (e.g., quadcopters), fixed-wing drones, VTOL quadplanes, tilt-motor/tilt-wing VTOLs. We propose unique compact UAV optimized for long hover and long-range with great lifting capacity manoeuvrability: tandem-wing quadplane fixed motors only. To the best our knowledge, such drone has not yet been researched. The was designed, built, tested in flight. Construction details, its advantages, issues discussed this research.

This paper describes progress made on the T-Wing tail-sitter UAV programme currently being undertaken via a collaborative research agreement between Sonacom Pty Ltd and the University of Sydney. This vehicle is being developed in response to a perceived requirement for a more flexible surveillance and remote sensing platform than is currently available. Missions for such a platform include coas...
متن کاملAn Efficient Approach to Communication-aware Path Planning for Long-range Surveillance Missions undertaken by UAVs
While using drones (UAVs) for remote surveillance missions, it is mandatory to do path planning of the vehicle since these are pilot-less vehicles. Path planning, whether offline (more popular) or online, entails setting up the path as a sequence of locations in the 3D Euclidean space, whose coordinates happen to be latitude, longitude and altitude. For the specific application of remote survei...
