Captive System Identification of Coanda-Effect Aerial Vehicle in Hover
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Banazadeh, Afshin (Supervisor)
Abstract
Identification of dynamic behavior and extraction of mathematical model for aerial vehicle is important in design, test and evaluation processes. Due to explosion of unmanned vehicles industry in recent years, many innovative aerial concepts is introduced. Coanda-effect air vehicle is one of these novel ideas which is similar to flying saucers. In this study, an experimental scale model of this air vehicle is designed, built and tested with purpose of identifying the linear dynamic model of the vehicle, using the frequency domain identification methods. Performing the system Identification in hover requires a stable hovering capability in the vehicle. Given the inherent instabilities of...

Abstract
This paper discusses the mission requirements and design constraints for an Unmanned Martian research aircraft based on a tailor-made classical airplane design methodology. First, the exploration mission is described using the information from previous real-world experiences and the desired payload is proposed accordingly. The environmental conditions that dictate severe constraints to the design space are characterized afterwards. The conventional airplane design cycle is modified to address the lack of statistical data and to define a proper design recycling criteria. Eventually, the outcome is presented in the form of a novel configuration that is well suited to carry out the specified...
