The reciprocating-airfoil (RA) driven vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft is a new concept that utilizes the reciprocating motion of wings to provide lift for landing. RA are shaped like fixed-wing airplane work as fixed while cruising. wing undergoes substantial linear during may generate similar aircraft. unique structural characteristics their high inertia lifting force loadings. T...

introduction todays, the application of new methods for monitoring and online management of agricultural farms is necessary to increase quality and quantity of agricultural products. remote sensing is one of the technologies that can be used to monitor agricultural farms and natural resources. this technology is capable of detection and prediction of farm changes by application of satellite and...

This paper presents an algorithm and a system for vertical infrastructure inspection using a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle and shared autonomy. Inspecting vertical structures such as light and power distribution poles is a difficult task that is time-consuming, dangerous and expensive. Recently, micro VTOL platforms (i.e., quad-, hexa- and octa-rotors) have been r...

The number of operations incorporating E-VTOL aircrafts is increasing each year, and the optimization energy consumption such vehicles a major problem. In this paper, small-scale ARCHER helicopter’s analyzed, wherein different flight conditions, main rotor revolutions, control system settings are considered. helicopter dynamic model was developed in FLIGHTLAB environment then validated based on...

In this paper, the problem of landing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on a platform with unknown oscillating motion is investigated. A control architecture that enables fast, safe and precise landing process is proposed. This control architecture consists of three modules: a tracking control module, a trajectory generation module and a vision-based motion estimation module. For the tracking co...
