Adaptable Flight Line Planning for Airborne Photogrammetry Using DEM
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021 Flight line planning is the first step in an aerial photography campaign. Its two key parameters, ground sampling distance (GSD), and overlap should be designed carefully as they will impact subsequent flying workload and even the final mapping accuracy.

Scan Pattern Characterization of Velodyne VLP-16 Lidar Sensor for UAS Laser Scanning
Sensors, 2020 Many lightweight lidar sensors employed for UAS lidar mapping feature a fan-style laser emitter-detector configuration which results in a non-uniform pattern of laser pulse returns. As the role of UAS lidar mapping grows in both research and industry, it

Flight Trajectories Optimization of Fixed-Wing UAV by Bank-Turn Mechanism
Drones, 2022 This paper addresses an optimization of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flight trajectories by bank-turn mechanism for a fixed-wing UAV at a constant altitude. The flight trajectories should be optimal and stay in the UAV flight operational area.

Protecting the flight test programme [PDF]
, 2007 Considerable effort is put into the safety risk assessment of any flight test programme - and rightly so, since failures to apply best practice in this area may cause significant expense, and in extremis loss of life.
