Aerodynamic modeling of a delta-wing UAV for model-based navigation

Jan Skaloud, Pasquale Longobardi

This study aims to identify an optimal, as well as practical, parametric structure for a delta-wing UAV aerodynamic model for the purpose of model-based navigation. We present a comprehensive procedure for characterizing the aerodynamics of this platform, ...

VDM-based navigation for Delta-wing UAVs: Models, calibration, implementation

Pasquale Longobardi

Autonomous navigation of small UAVs is typically based on the integration of inertial navigation systems (INS) together with global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). However, GNSS signals can face various forms of interference affecting their continuous ...

Identifying Aerodynamics of Delta-Wing Drones for Model-Based Navigation: A Comparative Study

Jan Skaloud, Aman Sharma, Pasquale Longobardi

This paper presents a comparative analysis of two methodologies for estimating unknown parameters in a Vehicle Dynamic Model (VDM)-based sensor fusion framework for small drones. Focusing on a delta-wing drone, we conduct open-air wind tunnel experiments t ...

Synthetic Wind Estimation for Small Fixed-Wing Drones

Jan Skaloud, Aman Sharma, Gabriel François Laupré, Pasquale Longobardi

Wind estimation is crucial for studying the atmospheric boundary layer. Traditional methods such as weather balloons offer limited in situ capabilities; besides an Air Data System (ADS) combined with inertial measurements and satellite positioning is requi ...
