“…This function gives them an extra control input when maneuvering the plane in VTOL and transition modes. The AVIGLE [6], has a take-off weight of 10 kg and is capable of conducting missions at speeds ranging from 0 to 40 m/s. This aircraft is built with two rotors, which is distinct from the other examples.…”

The aerodynamic design and analysis of an Unmanned Air Vehicle, capable of vertical take-off and landing by employing fixed four rotors on the tilt-wing and two rotors on the tilt-tail, will be presented in this study. Both main wing and the horizontal tail can be tilted 90°. During VTOL, transition and forward flight, aerodynamic and thrust forces have been employed. Different flight conditions, including the effects of angle of attack, side slip, wing tilt angle and control surfaces deflection angle changes, have been studied with CFD analysis. For a Tilt-Wing UAV, there are challenges like high non-linearity, vulnerability to disturbances during hover and transition, cross-coupling between three axes, very low time to double amplitude of the open-loop system. Therefore, the aerodynamic analysis has been done in detail considering especially the challenges in transition phase of the flight envelope.

Compensating temporary overload or site outage in cellular mobile networks is still an unsolved problem in order to avoid situations where services are unavailable. For this objective, we propose to use a swarm of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with cellular technology to temporarily offload traffic into neighbouring cells in LTE/4G networks. We discuss relay placement, amount of relays and relay transmit power for overload and outage compensation and provide an analytical model for evaluating system performance in the downlink. We assume that the spatial separation between the aerial service provider, users, and offload eNodeB is beneficial for temporarily increasing spectral efficiency. Our results give evidence, that aerial network provisioning can be used for optimizing mobile networks in overload and outage scenarios.

“…The mobile UAV equipped with lightweight sensors is deployed to collect relevant data/information from the incident scene. AVIGLE [4] is an EU project, which focuses on the usage of UAVs in the areas of civil security as well as cellular networks, surveying, entertainment and media. In [5], the authors investigate communication during flight and argue that UAVs and ground stations should use omni-directional dipole antennas to achieve the highest throughput under a typical flyover UAV flight path.…”

We developed UAVNet, a framework for the autonomous deployment of a flying Wireless Mesh Network using small quadrocopter-based Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The flying wireless mesh nodes are automatically interconnected to each other and building an IEEE 802.11s wireless mesh network. The implemented UAVNet prototype is able to autonomously interconnect two end systems by setting up an airborne relay, consisting of one or several flying wireless mesh nodes. The developed software includes basic functionality to control the UAVs and to setup, deploy, manage, and monitor a wireless mesh network. Our evaluations have shown that UAVNet can significantly improve network performance.
