ABSTRACT
The session focuses on the recent advancements in aerodynamic measurements and control strategies for both unmanned and manned aerial vehicles. The session will highlight advanced measurement techniques, including experimental, numerical, and analytical methods, to understand the complex aerodynamic phenomena. Additionally, the session will discuss the practical applications of research findings in the context of improving aerial vehicles designs, increasing flight efficiency, reducing drag, and optimizing control systems. This session is an excellent platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience among researchers, engineers, and practitioners interested in developing and improving UAV and MAV technology through modern mea surement methods and aerodynamic control strategies.
TOPICS
Topics for this Special Session include:
- Measurements of aerodynamic load and flow field
- Flight control systems of aerial vehicles
- Designing and measurement of aerial vehicles propulsion systems
- Operational tests of aircraft propulsion systems
