Dalmeijer, W.H. (author)
The Objective Motion Cueing Test (OMCT) refers to a way to measure motion characteristics of a simulation objectively, by constructing so-called frequency response functions of the cueing system. Research in recent years has applied the OMCT to a number of fixed-wing research simulators. However, the effect of aircraft dynamics on predicted...

Gloudemans, T.W. (author)
To enable low cost open source ATM simulations the University of Technology Delft is developing an open source ATM simulator Bluesky. A method was developed to identify aircraft performance parameters using ADS-B and other open sources of data. The goal is to determine the operational flight envelope and get estimates for the lift- and drag...

De Vries, R.J. (author)
This paper investigated if a pursuit tracking task could be used to quantify the loss of motor skills due to Parkinson's disease (PD) by using system identification methods. A human-in-the-loop experiment consisting of PD patients and a healthy age-gender matched control group was conducted at the Erasmus University Medical Center. A pursuit...

Autonomous navigation is a major challenge in the development of MAVs. When an algorithm has to be efficient, insect intelligence can be a source of inspiration. An elementary navigation task is homing, which means autonomously returning to the initial location. A promising approach makes use of visual familiarity of a route to determine...

Barendswaard, S. (author)
Aircraft manual control tasks require simultane- ous control of multiple degrees-of-freedom. Unfortunately, most multi-axis human-operator modeling is limited to the modeling of multiple fully-independent axis. Therefore our goal is to contribute to the understanding of multi-axis manual control behaviour and develop a more realistic picture of...

Swarming is a promising solution for extending the flight time and payload carrying capabilities of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs), where recent years have brought many advancements. These allow MAVs to operate ever more autonomously by tackling problems such as obstacle avoidance and autonomous navigation. A major challenge that still remains,...

General Aviation aircraft mostly fly with Visual Flight Rules (VFR). These are rules in aviation that permit the pilot to fly on sight if the weather conditions offer enough visibility for the pilot to perform the following tasks visually: collision avoidance with terrain or other airborne object, navigation and attitude determination. VFR...

Wolff, M.B. (author)
Transatlantic flight operations are, due to the absence of radar-based surveillance, the influence of the polar jet stream and the highly directional traffic peaks, significantly different compared to continental flight operations. To safely accommodate all transatlantic traffic in the North Atlantic oceanic airspace the Organized Track System ...

Lazos Fernandez, H.A. (author)
The aviation industry has struggled with reducing the amount of noise that aircraft generate, especially when flying close to communities. This effort has led to the introduction of technological and operational novelties such as efficient trajectory planning. In line with these operational efforts, a tool has been designed in the TU Delft,...

As projected air travel is expected to increase up till 2030, future airports are faced to deal with the impact of (rising) noise hinder within their environment and the resulting allowed attainable throughput capacity. To date, several proposed techniques are able to lower the noise contribution. This thesis study focusses on weather-adaptive...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) teleoperators suffer from a reduced situational awareness, contributing to a high UAV accident rate. The implementation of a haptic interface is a way to provide them with more information about obstacles in the environment in order to compensate for this. Research focused on systems that actively help the...

Faber, A. (author)
History has shown that a larger flight crew does not per se imply that aircraft operations will be safer. The goal of this thesis is to determine the technical hurdles to Single Pilot Commercial Operations (SPCO). Continued technological developments, the upsurge of commercial Unmanned Aerial Systems, the non-negligible cost of air crews, and...

The sensor-based approach of Incremental Backstepping is applied to flight control law design in this research project. It allows the usage of the same control law on different types of aircraft without the need for redesign. Apart from full state availability, the derivation of Incremental Backstepping assumes instantaneous control action. Due...

Koopmans, J.A. (author)
The Delfly is subject of great interest from the aerodynamics department at the TU Delft. Current wind tunnel measurements are performed with a dual high speed camera setup that detect particles injected in the wind stream. The difference between two subsequent images provides information on the flow field around the wings of the Delfly. These...

Willems, M.E. (author)
A study is performed analyzing the behavioral adaptation of pilots in skill based ramp tracking tasks performed with pursuit display. From data analyses of previous ramp tracking experiments an indication is found that pilots who repeatedly perform the same ramp tracking task show a high level of adaptation to characteristics of the control task...

Mendes, A.S. (author)
The development of systems that allow unmanned aerial vehicles, known as UAVs, to perform tasks autonomously is a current trend in aerospace research. The specific aim of this thesis is to study and achieve vision-based automatic landing of a quadrotor UAV on a floating platform, a known target that possesses oscillatory behavior. The research...

In order to meet requirements in terms of robustness, stability, and performance for future generations of advanced attitude control systems, a sensor-based approach using Incremental Backstepping control is developed and proposed in this thesis. Assuming full state availability and fast control action, the resulting time-scale separation...

Simplicio, P. (author)
Due to the inherent instabilities and nonlinearities of rotorcraft dynamics, its changing properties during flight and the difficulties to predict its aerodynamics with high levels of fidelity, helicopter flight control requires strategies that allow to cope with the nonlinearities of the model and assure robustness in the presence of...

Today, there is an increase in the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's), for applications that can be considered dull, dirty or dangerous when compared to those applications of conventional aircraft or helicopters. To further increase the use of UAV's, their navigation filters must be robust and reliable. The trend in current autopilot...
