1. Longitudinal Aerodynamic and Stability Characteristics of High-Aspect-Ratio Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Gust Response
ABSTRACT The aim of this work is to propose an accurate and reliable numerical simulation method of gust response, so as to analyze longitudinal stability characteristics of high-aspect-ratio unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) under gust response. Based on the dual-time stepping method, the unsteady Navies-Stokes equation was solved. By introducing grid velocit

2. Microstructure and Flight Behaviors of Droplet and its Solidification in Twin-Wire Arc Sprayed Ni-Al Composite Coatings
Droplet flight and solidification behaviors during twin-wire arc sprayed (TWAS) composite coatings were systematically investigated. Both theoretical model and numerical method were established for calculating the droplet deformation, breakup and solidification process in air flow based on the volume of fluid (VOF) dual-phase flow model jointed with the stan

4. A Software-in-the-Loop Simulation Scheme for Position Formation Flight of Multicopters
ABSTRACT The cooperative control of small unmanned aerial vehicles such as the multicopters has been extensively investigated worldwide for functionality augmentation and cost reduction with respect to a single larger vehicle. The present paper proposes a software-in-the-loop simulation scheme for performance evaluation and demonstration of formation flight

5. Performance Comparison of the IMMPDAF Algorithm Using Real and Simulated Radar Measurements
ABSTRACT Performance indexes obtained in idealized simulated scenarios are the primary source of data for evaluating different target tracking algorithms in most researches presented in the literature. Despite the convenience of simulation, ultimate evaluation of a tracking algorithm must be made in real scenarios. Unfortunately, real radar measurements as w

6. A Novel Integrated Guidance and Control System Design in Formation Flight
ABSTRACT: Bird's formation flight is one of the best types of cooperation in nature. The bird's flight was the motivation of humans for flying. After one century of flight development, bird's formation flight was the motivation of humans for aircraft's formation flight. The closeness of aircrafts in formation flight and the effect of disturbances such as vor

7. A Six Degrees-of-Freedom Flight Dynamics Simulation Tool of Launch Vehicles
ABSTRACT: The use of digital simulation has become an essential activity during the development and operation of launch vehicles, due to the complexity of such systems. Of particular interest is the flight dynamics simulation, which investigates the behavior of the vehicle in flight subjected to forces and moments. This work presents a simulation tool suited

8. A New Coupled Free Wake-CFD Method for Calculation of Helicopter Rotor Flow-Field in Hover
ABSTRACT: This paper concerns a new coupled free wake-CFD method for proper calculation of aerodynamic loads on a two bladed helicopter rotor in hovering flight. Loading is computed by solving the three dimensional Euler equations in a rotating coordinate system. However, since direct simulation of the tip vortices and wake requires a very fine grid, the rot

9. Simulation of Ablation in a Sounding Rocket Thermal Protection System Via an Interface Tracking Method with Two Moving Fronts
ABSTRACT: In this work, an interface tracking method is employed to simulate the ablative process in the region near the stagnation point of the VSB-30 sounding rocket Thermal Protection System (TPS). The ablation model considers the presence of two-fronts, the char-melting and the pyrolysis fronts. The results for the proposed model are compared to the ones

10. Propeller-induced Effects on the Aerodynamics of a Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Abstract: The present paper has discussed investigations about the propeller slipstream effects on the aerodynamics of a generic unmanned air vehicle platform in the wind tunnel for a broad advance ratio range. The propeller-induced effects for small unmanned air vehicles are more significantly pronounced than general aviation aircraft, because of their high

11. Anti-swing Controller Based on Time-delayed Feedback for Helicopter Slung Load System near Hover
Abstract: In this paper, a new anti-swing controller for helicopter slung load system near hover flight is proposed. This controller is based on time-delayed feedback of the load swing angles. The output from this controller is additional displacement that was added to the helicopter trajectory in the longitudinal and lateral directions. Hence, its implement

12. In-flight collision avoidance controller based only on OS4 embedded sensors
The major goal of this research was the development and implementation of a control system able to avoid collisions during the flight for a mini-quadrotor helicopter, based only on its embedded sensors without changing the environment. However, it is important to highlight that the design aspects must be seriously considered in order to overcome hardware lim
