Dynamic Analysis of a Ducted Fan UAV in Forward Flight

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper deals with the dynamic modeling of a ducted fan vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and focuses on the dynamic characteristics analyzing in forward flight. A 6-DOF nonlinear model has been established in terms of the forces and moments and the model can be used in the structure and control system design.
