Solus: An Autonomous Aircraft for Flight Control and Trajectory Planning Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
The University of Michigan has developed a xed-wing model aircraft (Solus) with an embedded control system to develop and demonstrate UAV technology. The analytical objective of this project is the development of intelligent ight control and trajectory planning techniques, focusing on automated fault detection and recovery. Our experimental objective is to implement and evaluate these techniques on Solus for a variety of mission and fault scenarios.

متن کاملIn-Trim Flight Investigations of a Conceptual Fluidic Thrust-Vectored Unmanned Tail-Sitter Aircraft
The feasibility of using a stand alone Fluidic Thrust-Vectoring (FTV) system for the purpose of longitudinal trim of an unmanned aerial vehicle is the focus of the research presented in this paper. Since the fluidic thrust vectoring requires high pressure secondary air to deflect the engine exhaust gases, this research also provides an analytical toolset for preliminary sizing of a suitable sec...
متن کاملLinear Programming and Language Processing for Human/Unmanned-Aerial-Vehicle Team Missions
This paper presents a manned-vehicle/unmanned-aerial-vehicle (UAV) mission system that enables an operator in a manned aircraft to issue mission level commands to an autonomous aircraft in real time. A natural language interface allows the manned and unmanned vehicle to communicate in languages understood by both agents. A task scheduler transforms the commands into a dynamic mission plan consi...
متن کاملAirborne Tactical Intent-Based Conflict Resolution Capability
Trajectory-based operations with self-separation involve the aircraft taking the primary role in the management of its own trajectory in the presence of other traffic. In this role, the flight crew assumes the responsibility for ensuring that the aircraft remains separated from all other aircraft by at least a minimum separation standard. These operations are enabled by cooperative airborne sur...
