In this study, a linear model of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is developed by using frequency domain system identification methods. The data used in the identification methods are obtained by performing flight tests. To obtain appropriate flight test data for identification process, flight test maneuvers are designed. These flight test data are used in two main frequency domain system identification methods, namely, transfer function modeling and state space modeling. The linear models obtained by using these two methods are verified in time domain using flight test data obtained by applying inputs called as verification inputs. A UAV is designed, produced and instrumented in Turkish Aerospace Industries, Inc. (TAI) as a test platform. In this thesis, this test platform is used to obtain flight test data. In identification process, two programs are mainly used, namely, Comprehensive Identification from Frequency Responses (CIFER) and MATLAB & Simulink.

System identification and control of a fixed wing aircraft by using flight data obtained from x-plane flight simulator
Çetin, Ender; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018)
In this thesis, a linear state-space model of an aircraft is obtained by applying numerical integration system identification method. Flight test data used in the system identification is obtained by using X-Plane flight simulation program. In X-Plane Flight Simulator, the flight tests are made by using different excitations on the control surfaces. The linear models obtained by system identification are verified by applying the inputs to the linear model and then the outputs are compared with the X-Plane f...
Landing autopilot design for an unmanned aerial vehicle /
Ak, Ayşe İlden; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
In this thesis, studies for the development of a landing autopilot for the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), Pioneer RQ2 are presented. Firstly, 6 DOF (degree of freedom) nonlinear model of Pioneer is implemented in Matlab-Simulink based on FDC (Flight Dynamics and Control) Toolbox. Then, in accordance with steady-state wings level flight condition, trim points are found for different airspeed values, constant height and zero flight path angle. The nonlinear model of Pioneer is linearized at these trim points ...
Trajectory tracking of a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) via attitude and position control
Suiçmez, Emre Can; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014)
In this thesis, trajectory tracking of a quadrotor UAV is obtained by controlling attitude and position of the quadrotor simultaneously. Two independent control methods are used to track desired trajectories accurately. One of these methods is a nonlinear control approach called as "backstepping control". The other method is a more unique optimal control approach called as "Linear Quadratic Tracking(LQT)". In addition, fixed-gain LQR controller which is widely used in literature is also used for comparison ...
Vision-aided landing for fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle
Esin, Engin; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2016)
The aim of this thesis is to design an autoland system for fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to make auto landing by using position information calculated by image processing algorithms. With this ability, even if GPS is not available to be used, UAV still could make a safe automatic landing. Landing autopilot is aimed to keep UAV on a straight line with a constant flight path angle. Therefore, landing autopilot and computer vision methods are studied within the scope of this thesis. Also, to test de...
Conceptual design of a stealth unmanned combat aerial vehicle with multidisciplinary design optimization
Çakın, Uğur; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018)
The present study aims to develop a methodology for multi-disciplinary design optimization (MDO) of an unmanned combat aerial vehicle. At the current stage of optimization study, three disciplines are considered, which are aerodynamics, structural weight and radar cross section (RCS) signature. As objective functions, maximum range and minimum RCS signature are employed. To generate pareto-optimal solutions, multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) function of MATLAB® is performed. To get aerodyn...
