Physiological Sensor Suite: Design and Implementation: Measuring Startle & Surprise using EEG, EMG and ECG

Today, most fatal accidents in commercial aviation are caused by loss of control in flight. Due to the increased reliance on automation and pilots being moved out of the loop, startling and surprising events can be contributing factors. To more effectively train pilots, startle and surprise are to be included in training scenario’s. A subjective...

Towards a Better Understanding of Attitude Oscillations Experienced by Quadcopters In Axial Descent

This study aims to quantify the aerodynamic behaviour of fixed pitch rotors with a diameter of 12.7 cm in axial descent, and its contribution to the attitude oscillations found for quadcopters under similar flight conditions. Wind tunnel tests are performed with an isolated rotor, as well as a complete quadcopter mounted inside a gimbal that...
