Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) "Quadrocopter Garmisch 2005"

Abstract

Braun has developed during the last 6 years a couple of vertical take off and landing Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) with 3 and 4 rotors. The topic of this report is the Quadrocopter Garmisch 2005, a helicopter designed for the 1st US European MAV Competition at Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Germany) in the year 2005. Quadrocopter Garmisch 2005 is a manually radio controlled 4-rotor-helicopter. Field tests indicated that the MAV concept of Quadrocopter Garmisch can be used for surveillance in close-up area. The big advantage of a manually controlled MAV is its variability during the flight. The pilot can change the flight direction within a second. Visual interpretation of the surrounding by a human being is so far much better than any automatic image processing.
