Safe Flight Envelope Prediction and Experimental Validation of Multirotor UAV: An Analysis on the Effects of Longitudinal Center of Gravity Position and Actuator Dynamics on Quadcopter Flight Envelopes

Loss of control (LOC) is the primary cause of failure of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). The safety of these systems can be largely improved by facilitating techniques to prevent LOC to occur, such as Flight Envelope Protection, enabling controllers to keep the system within the Safe Flight Envelope (SFE).<br/>The aim of this work is to examine...
