Details of design and construction of a VTOL flight simulator, completed in March 1966, are given this report. The one-man cab has conventional seating, controls and instrumentation in which CRT and TV type displays are involed. A television camera with 6 degrees-of-freedom is used to acquire a visual scene of landing-approach below a 120m ceiling. The

PID‐Like Robust Control of Non‐Minimum Phase Robotic Manipulators
ABSTRACT This paper proposes an output‐feedback tracking controller for non‐minimum phase nonlinear systems with unknown uncertainties and external disturbances, where not all states are measurable, and the zero dynamics are unstable. The approach combines a backstepping‐based stabilizing state‐feedback law with a cascade extended high‐gain observer ...

Analysis of a UAV that can Hover and Fly Level
In this study, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with level flight, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) and mode-changing capability is analysed. The platform design combines both multirotor and fixed-wing (FW) conventional airplane structures and ...

This master's thesis is focused on the development of a VTOL drone flight simulator. Two main objectives have been set. The first one is that the simulator must simulate all the flight phases of a VTOL. To make it possible, the simulator software is integrated with the simulation of the drone flight controller, which can be ArduPilot or PX4. The second

Experimental assessment of large mammal population estimates from airborne thermal videography
Wildlife resource management requires reliable, fast, and affordable methods of surveying wildlife populations to develop and adaptively adjust policies. Thermal video from drones can yield high rates of detection over large areas with relative speed and safety.
