[PDF][PDF] A design configuration and optimization for a multi rotor UAV
E Capello, G Guglieri, F Quagliotti - NATO RTO Symp. Intelligent …, 2009 - sto.nato.int
Multi rotor UAVs offer great potential wide range of challenging applications due to the high
manoeuvrability and to the potential to hover, take off and fly in small areas. Nevertheless,
their design is in some way critical. The main concern is their inadequate level of handling
qualities due to the intrinsic instabilities of this type of small size vehicles. A specific
hardware with a control matrix is also required to stabilize and manoeuvre the aircraft. A non-
marginal trust-to-weight ratio is mandatory that implies adequate sizing of the power output …
