Flight Dynamics Measurements on an Instrumented Frisbee
نویسنده
چکیده
In-flight measurements of the accelerations on a recreational flying disc are made with miniaturized accelerometers and a microcontroller data acquisition system using off-theshelf components. These data are used to determine the aerodynamic performance of the disc, and illustrate several of the complex gyrodynamic aspects of frisbee flight.

Flight and attitude dynamics measurements of an instrumented Frisbee
In-flight measurements are made of the translational accelerations and attitude motion of a hand-thrown flying disc using miniaturized accelerometers and other sensors and a microcontroller data acquisition system. The experiments explore the capabilities and limitations of sensors on a rapidly rotating platform moving in air, and illustrate several of the complex gyrodynamic aspects of Frisbee...
متن کاملEffects of Flight Dynamics on Performance of One Axis Gimbal System, Considering Disturbance Torques
The gimbal stabilization mechanism system is used to provide the stability to an object mounted on the gimbal by isolating it from the base angular motion and vibration. In this paper the model of one axis gimbal system with dynamics flying object is introduced. The gimbal torque relationships are obtained using Newton’s second law equation on the assumption that gimbal is rigid body. The syste...

متن کاملAirborne Seeker Application in Three Dimensional Formation Flight of UAVs
This paper deals with the leader-follower formation control problem while communication constraint in data transmitting is considered. From a practical point of view, we study the case in which unmanned vehicles are subject to the limited sensing, and communication is of a particular interest. A three-dimensional formation flight of multi-unmanned aerial vehicles with leader-follower configurat...
متن کاملOnboard Flow Sensing For Downwash Detection and Avoidance On Small Quadrotor Helicopters
Small rotary-wing UAVs are susceptible to gusts and other environmental disturbances that affect inflow at their rotors. Inflow variations cause unexpected aerodynamic forces through changes in thrust conditions and unmodeled blade flapping dynamics. This paper introduces an onboard, pressure-based flow measurement system developed for a small quadrotor helicopter. The probe-based instrumentati...
