A Low Cost Implementation Of Autonomous Takeoff And Landing For A Fixed Wing Uav, Thomas Carnes
A Low Cost Implementation Of Autonomous Takeoff And Landing For A Fixed Wing Uav, Thomas Carnes
Theses and Dissertations
The take-off and landing of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is often the most critical and accident prone portion of its mission. This potential hazard coupled with the time and resources necessary to train a remote UAV pilot makes it desirable to have autonomous take-off and landing capabilities for UAVs. However, a robust, reliable, and accurate autonomous takeoff and landing capability for fixed-wing aircraft is not an available feature in many low-cost UAV flight control systems. This thesis describes the design of an autonomous take-off and landing algorithm implemented on an existing low-cost flight control system for a small fixed …
