Feasibility Study on Aeroelastic States and Parameters Estimation with Visual Tracking

In recent years, developments in the field of aerospace materials and structures has been bringing major breakthroughs in the construction of air vehicles to be more lightweight yet with higher strength. However, the aircraft body can deform more appreciably due to the occurrence of flow separation and flutter. Therefore, active control is...

High-Speed Free-Flight Wind Tunnel Experiment With A Compromised Quadrotor: Creating A Dataset Suitable For Identification Of Aerodynamic Forces and Moments

To aid in the continued effort of making unmanned flight safer, this paper presents the experimenting effort towards determining aerodynamic forces on a off-the-shelf quad-rotor under compromised circumstances. For the first time an Incremented Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion controller is used for compromised flight in wind tunnel conditions. For...
