The objective is to design a model based controller for a small radio-controlled helicopter in hover. To this end, a multi-input multi-output state-space model is identiied from experimental data using linear estimation. A stabilizing H1 controller with setpoint tracking is designed and is compared to a standard LQG controller.

The Short-Haul-Civil-tiltrotor (SHCT) component of the NASA Aviation System Capacity Program is an effort to develop the technologies needed for a potential 40-passenger civil tiltrotor. The variable diameter tiltrotor (VDTR) is a Sikorsky concept aimed at improving tiltrotor hover and cruise performance currently limited by disk loading that is much higher in hover than conventional helicopter...

The open-source Eclipse platform has become hugely popular as an integrated development environment (IDE) for Java, mainly because of its editing features. The Java IDE comes with code highlighting, hover information, code completion, quick fixes and many more. It supports the development process by highlighting problematic aspects of the code and providing a convenient and robust way to improv...

In Florida, horses have numerous arthropod pests. Most of these pests are considered external parasites as their attack on the horse is principally external, as opposed to internal parasites such as “worms” or nematodes and bots. The common external parasites include filth flies such as non-biting house flies and biting stable flies and occasionally horn flies, the numerous other blood-feeding ...

Title of thesis: EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF A QUAD-ROTOR BIPLANE MICRO AIR VEHICLE Christopher Michael Bogdanowicz Master of Science, 2015 Thesis directed by: Dr. Inderjit Chopra Department of Aerospace Engineering Micro air vehicles are expected to perform demanding missions requiring efficient operation in both hover and forward flight. This thesis discusses the development of a hybrid air...

Species diversity and seasonal abundance of muscoid flies (Diptera: Muscidae) developing in biosolid cake (dewatered biosolids) stored at a wastewater treatment facility in northeastern Kansas were evaluated. Emergence traps were deployed 19 May through 20 October 2009 (22 wk) and 27 May through 18 November 2010 (25 wk). In total, 11,349 muscoid flies were collected emerging from the biosolid c...

Popularly known as horse flies or deer flies, Tabanidae, has 4.400 described species distributed worldwide. Most of the females are hematophagous, but several also flower visitors. Cretaceous fossils Tabanidae scarce and fossil have plesiomorphic features unknown in modern flies. Here, we revised taxonomy from Crato Formation Brazil describing a new genus, Araripus gen. nov ., two – crassitibia...
