Flow Sensor Array Base Flight Control
Abstract
We will demonstrate through theoretical analyses, simulation, and wind tunnel tests that including hair and/or pressure sensors in flight control can significantly enhance the stability and performance of an aircraft, particularly for small aerial vehicles in responding to changes in the atmosphere conditions. The tasks will involve the understanding of flow patterns in different flight modes, sensor calibration, flight control design, and sensor array integration considerations. In the long run, the success of this research project will naturally lead to flight tests of the new flight control design with hair and/or pressure sensor array feedback.
