Mitigating the Effect of Atmospheric
Turbulence: Toward More Useful MAVs RMIT University, Shifted Dynamics, and Monash
University conducted a series of UAV flight tests in a large, wind engineering tunnel.
The video presents highlights of tests, which incorporate parametric variation of the
aircraft configuration and geometry to assess the suitability for flight in relatively
large levels of turbulence. These tests are part of ongoing research into strategies for
mitigating the effect of turbulence on the flight of various UAV platforms. |

Recent developments in drift research
were presented at the 2006
SAE World Congress in Detroit, MI, April 3-6, 2006. The
paper summarizes the variations in tire force and moment equilibrium
at various drifting angles.
