Advanced rotor analysis method for the next-generation small multirotor aerial vehicle

这项研究的目标是开发一种适用于小型多旋翼飞行器(如四轴飞行器)的旋翼设计和分析方法。后续的方法将导致转子系统具有更好的飞行性能，如耐力或高速飞行特性。虽然多旋翼飞行器由于在悬停时相对容易控制而经常被选为遥感平台，但在高速或机动飞行时控制变得复杂。可靠的飞行控制的挑战是由于小尺度的典型的非线性空气动力响应，以及由于近距离的几个旋翼的流场的相互作用。

The objective of the proposed study is to develop a rotor design and analysis method that is suitable for small multirotor aerial vehicles, such as quadcopters. The subsequent method will result in rotor systems with improved flight performance, such as endurance or high-speed flight characteristics. Although multirotor aerial vehicles are often chosen as remote sensing platforms because of their relative ease to control at hover, control becomes complex during high-speed or maneuvering flight. The challenges of reliable flight controls is due to the nonlinear aerodynamic response typical for small scales and due to the interaction of the flow fields of several rotors in close proximity.
