Coordinated Incremental Trajectory Tracking of a Tailsitter Drone
Evangelos Ntouros, Ewoud J. J. Smeur
This paper derives an analytical differential flatness transform for a tailsitter Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) under coordinated flight conditions using a simplified aerodynamic m…
Guiding vector field-based guidance under wind disturbances applied to a tailsitter UAV
Evangelos Ntouros, Ewoud J. J. Smeur
This paper develops a guidance control law based on a parametric Guiding Vector Field (GVF) and integrates it with a state-of-the-art acceleration and attitude control architecture…
Airspeed estimation for UAVs using only propeller feedback
Evangelos Ntouros, Pavel Kelley, Ewoud Smeur
This work introduces a novel analytical model for estimating the airspeed of fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) using solely propeller power and rotational speed measuremen…
Rapid and Inexpensive Inertia Tensor Estimation from a Single Object Throw
Till M. Blaha, Mike M. Kuijper, Radu Pop +1
The inertia tensor is an important parameter in many engineering fields, but measuring it can be cumbersome and involve multiple experiments or accurate and expensive equipment. We…
The NederDrone: A hybrid lift, hybrid energy hydrogen UAV
Christophe De Wagter, Bart Remes, Ewoud Smeur +4
A lot of UAV applications require vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) combined with very long-range or endurance. Transitioning UAVs have been proposed to combine the VTOL capabil…
Design, Control and Visual Navigation of the DelftaCopter
Christophe De Wagter, Rick Ruijsink, Ewoud Smeur +4
To participate in the Outback Medical Express UAV Challenge 2016, a vehicle was designed and tested that can hover precisely, take-off and land vertically, fly fast forward efficie…
