Stability and Control

of UAVs
This presentation explores the critical aspects of stability and control for
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), covering key concepts, design principles,
and technological advancements.
RK by Rishi Kumar
Introduction to Unmanned
Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
1 Definition and Types 2 Applications
UAVs, also known as drones, UAVs find wide applications
are aircraft without human in various fields including
pilots, ranging from small aerial photography,
quadcopters to large military surveillance, delivery, and
drones. agriculture.

3 Advantages
UAVs offer advantages over traditional aircraft, such as reduced cost,
greater accessibility, and higher maneuverability.
Fundamentals of Aerodynamics for UAVs
Lift and Drag Thrust and Weight Aerodynamic Forces
Lift is the upward force generated by Thrust is the forward force generated Understanding these forces is crucial

performance and maneuverability.
Principles of Flight Stability
1 Static Stability
Refers to the UAV's tendency to return to its equilibrium
position after a disturbance.

2 Dynamic Stability
Describes how the UAV behaves over time after a
disturbance, such as damping or oscillations.

3 Controllability
The UAV's ability to respond to pilot or autopilot commands,
ensuring desired flight maneuvers.
Control System Design for
UAVs
Sensors
1 Provide real-time information about the UAV's state, such as
position, velocity, and attitude.

Controller
2 Processes sensor data and generates control commands to
actuators.

Actuators
3 Execute control commands, adjusting the UAV's flight
surfaces, propellers, or other mechanisms.
