Algorithm Controlling the Autonomous Flight of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle based on the Construction of a Glider
Authors: ,
Abstract: This article is devoted to the objects of unmanned aircrafts as well as their flight control systems in particular. Their analysis in the light of the critical analysis of the literature on the subject of research includes the characteristics of unmanned objects based on the construction of a glider, discussion of their applications in the context of various configurations depending on the purpose and type of mission. The main goal of the work is to develop an algorithm for controlling the autonomous control system of a UAV object, based on a mathematical model that describes the unmanned aircraft mechanics with small dimensions using a mathematical apparatus. Additionally, for the purpose of the analysis, general subsystems included in unmanned aerial vehicles were listed and characterized. On the other hand, based on the created model of the flying object, an algorithm was developed to increase flight stability taking into account the turning maneuver. On the basis of the conducted research, the results obtained from simulation tests carried out in the Matalb/Simulink programming environment were presented. In the final part of the work, based on the considerations made at the beginning in the field of the subject of the research, the mathematical model created using mathematical analysis and the obtained research results, conclusions drawn in practical applications were drawn.
