Quad Tilt Wing VTOL UAV: Aerodynamic Characteristics and Prototype Flight

A QTW VTOL UAV, featured tandem tilt wings and propellers mounted at the mid-span of each wing, is one of the most promising UAV configurations having both a VTOL capability and high cruise performance. A small prototype QTW UAV has been constructed to prove the concept and full transition between vertical and horizontal flight has been successfully demonstrated under remote manual control. The...

Transition Flight of Quad Tilt Wing Vtol Uav

The QTW VTOL UAV, which features tandem tilt wings with propellers mounted at the mid-span of each wing, is one of the most promising UAV configurations, having both VTOL capability and high cruise performance. A six-degree-of-freedom dynamic simulation model covering the full range of the QTW flight envelope was developed and a flight control system including a transition schedule and a stabil...

Dynamic Modeling of Fixed-Wing UAVs (Fixed-Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles)

Fixed-wing drones for communication networks

In the last decade, drones became frequently used to provide eye-in-the-sky overview in the outdoor environment. They are widely used for surveillance, mapping and exploring unknown terrains. Their main advantage compared to the other types of robots is that they can fly above obstacles and rough terrains and they can quickly cover large areas. These properties also open a new application; dron...

Powerline Perching with a Fixed-Wing UAV

Small and micro UAVs have enabled a number of new mission capabilities, including navigating in and around buildings and performing perch-and-stare surveillance. However, one of the primary limitations of these small vehicles is endurance, simply because they cannot carry sufficient power for long missions. Recent advances in fixed-wing perching have made it possible to consider a new solution ...
