Synthetic Air Data System for Pitot Tube Failure Detection on the Variable Skew Quad Plane

Pitot tube-free airspeed estimation methods exist for fixed-wing and multirotor configurations, but lack direct applicability to hybrid unmanned air vehicles due to their wide flight envelope and changing dynamics during transition. This work proposes a novel synthetic air data system for the Variable Skew Quad Plane (VSQP) hybrid vehicle to...

Optimal Control Energy Management Strategy for Hybrid Propulsion and Power Supply Vessels using Data-Driven Load Forecasting

Hybrid technology can significantly reduce fuel consumption and emission for vessels that have high power demand peaks followed by long periods of low loading. Hybrid technology refers to powertrain layouts that consist of hybrid propulsion and/or hybrid power supply. Advanced energy management strategies (EMS) are required to make optimal use...
