Automated Flight Test and System Identification for Rotary Wing Small Aerial Platform using Frequency Responses Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes an autopilot system that can be used to control the small scale rotorcraft during the flight test for linear-frequency-domain system identification. The input frequency swept is generated automatically as part of the autopilot control command. Therefore the bandwidth coverage and consistency of the frequency swept is guaranteed to produce high quality data for system identification. Beside that we can set the safety parameter during the flight test (maximum roll / pitch value, minimum altitude, etc) so the safety of the whole flight test is guaranteed. This autopilot for automated flight test will be tested using hardware in the loop simulator for hover flight condition.

متن کاملAerodynamic Sensing for a Fixed Wing UAS Operating at High Angles of Attack
The flight profile of typical small unmanned air systems (UAS) has expanded in the last decade beyond those encountered by traditional fixed-wing transport and rotary-wing aircraft. These new flight conditions may involve unusual flight mechanics as with flapping wing flight or complex aerodynamics when performing difficult maneuvers as part of routine operations. Such scenarios typically invol...
متن کاملModeling and Control of a Dragonfly-like Micro Aerial Vehicle
The purpose of this research is to model and control a dragonflylike flapping wing micro aerial vehicle (FWMAV). It is well known that micro aerial vehicle (MAV) designs can be classified as fixed wing, rotary wing and flapping wing. Fixed wing MAV is capable of fast forward flight, which is suitable for flying outdoor. Rotary wing MAV is suitable for movement at low speed. Recently, flapping w...
متن کاملAutonomous Loitering Control for a Flapping Wing Miniature Aerial Vehicle with Independent Wing Control
Flapping wing miniature aerial vehicles (FWMAVs) offer advantages over traditional fixed wing or quadrotor MAV platforms because they are more maneuverable than fixed wing aircraft and are more energy efficient than quadrotors, while being quieter than both. Currently, autonomy in FWMAVs has only been implemented in flapping vehicles without independent wing control, limiting their level of con...

On August 25, 2004, a series of final experiments were flown at the McKenna urban operations complex at Ft. Benning, GA. These experiments represented the culmination of the rotary wing segment of the DARPA Software Enabled Control program. To support these efforts, an open system Unmanned Aerial Vehicle testbed architecture was developed for the GTMax and GTSpy research aircraft. This paper in...
