چکیده
This paper presents and describes a new lenticular shaped airship that allows 3D omnidirectional movements. The airship is intended to be part of a cooperative aerial system based in the synergy between an airship and a group of micro-quad rotors capable of long time missions as environmental, biodiversity monitoring, WiSAR missions, road monitoring, detection of forest fires, etc. The emphasis in this paper is the presentation of hardware of the main component of the system: an innovative lenticular airship, the control algorithm and the low size generic hardware platform specially developed for all the robots in the system..

Command-filtered backstepping control for a multi-vectored thrust stratospheric airship
A stratospheric airship is an airship flying at a high altitude of 20 km as a stratospheric platform. Due to the low atmospheric density and flight speed, the efficiency of a conventional actuator, such as an aerodynamic control surface, is decreased. Thus, a new multi-vectored thrust airship called a flat peach is discussed in this paper. This article describes the derivation, design and simul...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Aerodynamic Model and Control Law Design for a High Altitude Airship
Lighter-than air vehicles are an attractive solution for many applications requiring a sustained airborne presence. The buoyancy force provides an energy-free form of lift, offering a non-traditional approach to long-duration missions for which traditional aircraft are not well-suited. Potential applications include roving or hovering surveillance and communication utilities for both military a...
متن کاملDevelopment of a VRML/Java unmanned airship simulating environment
We present in this paper one of the first Internetaccessible airship simulators, based on a comprehensive airship dynamic model. The simulator is meant to be used as a tool for the development of control and navigation methods for autonomous and semiautonomous robotic airships and as testbed for airship pilot training. Realistic views of both the airship in flight and that of a virtual pilot ar...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Heated - Air Airship for the Environment of Titan
Future exploration of Saturn's moon Titan can be carried out by airships, which have the capability to study the atmosphere as well as the capability to land and study the surface at multiple locations. Several lighter-than-air gas airships and passive drifting heated-air balloon designs have been studied, but a heated-air airship could combine the best of both. A design tool was created to ena...
متن کاملWind Tunnel Tests of the Counter-Rotating Propeller of Stratospheric Airship
In this paper, a design of counter-rotating propeller (CRP) for stratospheric airship in low Reynolds number is tested in experiment for the first time. In consideration of stratosphere environment, a two-bladed counter-rotating propeller is designed for stratospheric airship. With the similarity theory of Reynolds number and advanced ratio, the experiment is conducted in low Reynolds number wi...
