Computational Simulation and Experimental Validation on Safe-Flight Control for a Six-Rotor Craft

Article Preview

Abstract:

A vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (VTOL) like a helicopter has come to be used in environmental investigations and inspections at dangerous places. However, there is a possibility that the VTOL like a helicopter crash if the rotor stopped. Then, computational simulation in the case that a six-rotor craft can safely continue to fly even though one of six rotors stop was carried out. Then the experimental six-rotor craft was developed and the validity of our control method was examined by the flying experiment.
