Stability analysis for an UAV model in a longitudinal flight
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
The paper presents the stability analysis of the equilibria in a longitudinal flight of an unmanned aircraft with constant forward velocity. The motion of the aircraft is described using delay differential equations with constant delays, the delay being considered in flight control compartment. The goal is to study the effects of the delays for the stability of the equilibrium points. It is eventually proved that a Hopf bifurcation appears.

Thrust and jet directional control using the Coanda effect
The application of the Coandă effect to the directional control of a jet or thrust is presented. Deviation of the thrust force by direct flow can be achieved by using the Coandă effect to change the angle of the primary...
TORNADO concept and realisation of a rotor for small VAWTs
The concept of a three-tier configuration for a vertical axis rotor was successfully developed into a experimental model. The rotor assembly is divided into three tiers with three straight blades in each tier. The three-...
Equilibrium stability analysis by numerical simulations for a linear system with time-delayed control
The work starts from the linearization of a nonlinear mathematical model of the electrohydraulic servomechanism with structural switching and delayed control. The delay, as well as the switching structure, can lead to in...
A Coordinate Transformation for Unsteady Boundary Layer Equations
This paper presents a new coordinate transformation for unsteady, incompressible boundary layer equations that applies to both laminar and turbulent flows. A generalization of this coordinate transformation is also propo...
