Flight Dynamic Simulation of a Flapless Flight Control Uav
This paper describes the flight dynamics contribution to a research programme in which the objective is to design, develop and fly a UAV utilising flapless flight control. A circulation control actuator concept has been tested and a Simulink model is being developed for incorporation into the aircraft simulation. Results show that bi-directional proportional control of the air vehicle is feasible.
متن کاملDesign of a bio-inspired controller for dynamic soaring in a simulated UAV
This article is inspired by the way birds like albatrosses are able to exploit wind gradients at the surface of oceans for staying aloft during very long periods while minimizing their energy expenditure. The corresponding behaviour has been partially reproduced here via a set of Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy rules controlling a simulated glider. First, such rules were hand-designed. Then, the...
متن کاملDynamic Soaring in Hurricanes
The potential for a gliding UAV to sustain flight by dynamically soaring in a hurricane is investigated. Leveraging extensive storm observations, the wind profile of the hurricane eye is modeled as a continuous function that is zero at the center and increases as a power of the radius. We then derive the equations of motion for a UAV flying in this wind field, and prove analytically that if the...
متن کاملReliability Synthesis for UAV Flight Control System
This paper presents the models and methods for reliability synthesis for components of UAV flight control system: flight computer and navigation system. The developed reliability models depict different variants of faulttolerant designs including designes for systems with complex reliability behavior. They have a high level of adequacy, since effectiveness of detection and switching devices was...
متن کاملUAV In-Flight Awareness Concept
This work proposes an innovative concept, called InFlight Awareness (IFA), expanding the concept of Sense And Avoid and aiming situational awareness in both controlled and non-controlled airspace for unmanned aircraft. From events occurring either internally or externally to the aircraft, the proposed system checks symptoms (taking into account the capabilities of the platform), data from both ...
