All rights reserved.This study presents different linear controllers for the flight control of a quadrotor with fixed-pitch propellers. The quadrotor propulsion system model is based on the experiments carried out previously. As a continuation of previous study, design of a 4 kg quadrotor vehicle is completed. In addition, three linear controllers namely proportional plus derivative controller, linear quadratic regulator, and linear quadratic tracking controller are designed in order to choose the most appropriate controller for the designed quadrotor. Simulation results are given and discussed.

Aerodynamic parameter estimation of a supersonic air to air missile with rapid speed variation

All rights reserved.Maneuver inputs designed for aircraft parameter identification are often applied during the aircraft flies close to a trimmed flight condition at an approximately constant Mach number. Since a fixed wing aircraft has control over its thrust and speed, various maneuver inputs can be applied to identify aerodynamic derivatives at discrete Mach numbers. On the contrary, most agile missile configurations do not have contr...
Modification of the extended messinger model for mixed phase icing and industrial applications with TAICE
Ayan, Erdem; Özgen, Serkan (2017-01-01)
© 2017, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.Computational studies have been performed in order to predict mixed phase ice accretion on aircraft components. In-house developed TAICE tool has been used in this study. Previously, TAICE was already validated for icing cases due to water droplets only. In addition, in the framework of High Altitude Ice Crystals (HAIC) FP7 European project, mixed phase ice accretion prediction capability has been added to TAICE. Up to...
Analysis of hypersonic flow using three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations
Özgün, Muharrem; Eyi, Sinan (2014-01-01)
© 2014 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. All rights reserved.The purpose of this study is to develop an accurate and efficient CFD code that can be used in hypersonic flows. The flow analysis is based on the three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. These equations are solved by using Newton’s method. The analytical method is used to calculate the Jacobian matrix. Flow parameters and convective heat transfer are analyzed on Apollo AS-202 Command Module. Especially, temperature...
Analysis and design optimization of three dimensional nozzles
Yildizlar, B.; Eyi, Sinan (2014-01-01)
© 2014 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. All rights reserved.The aim of this study is to develop analysis and design optimization method for three dimensional nozzles. For analysis, three dimensional Euler equations are solved using both Newton and Newton-GMRES methods and their performances are compared. The Jacobian matrix needed for Newton method is evaluated analytically. Newton-GMRES method is a matrix free solution technique hence it does not require the Jacobian matrix e...
Analysis of effects of different diffusion models in hypersonic flow regimes
Gur, H. Berk; Eyi, Sinan (2017-01-01)
© 2017, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.Hypersonic flows become popular due to its use in space explorations and military applications. It occurs normally, when a space craft re-enter to the atmosphere. Space crafts are exposed to high temperatures and high pressures because of Earth’s atmosphere and gravity. In addition in high temperatures, gases tend to react with each other. These reactions also have effects on space craft’s surface. In order to calculat...
