Within this unit, students will bring together their knowledge of flight dynamics and control in the context of drone systems and applications. In additional to the legal requirements for drone operations, students will be introduced to the use of software simulation tools for flight planning and algorithm development. These will include examples of flight dynamics models, sensor models and control systems.
On successful completion of the unit students will:
22 Lectures of 1 hour, including 2 lectures on the individual assignment.
60% - 2 Hour Examination in May/June.
40% - Individual Coursework.
