“…Thrust forces of the BLDC motors to reduce sideslip are presented in Fig.15(g). For the gain tuning of flight experiments, software in the loop simulation (SILS) stated in [48], [49] is considered for the horizontal flight mode and hardware in the loop simulation (HILS) in [50] is adopted for the vertical flight mode.…”

Tri-Copter UAV With Individually Tilted Main Wings for Flight Maneuvers

A tri-copter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with individually tilted main wings for various flight maneuvers is presented. In contrast to conventional tilt wing UAVs, thrust vectoring and control of the directions of main wing surfaces are attained by tilting main wings individually. Such individually tilted main wings allow more efficient maneuvers of the UAV. Even though the UAV is a tri-copter, it can compensate the reaction torque created by the tail motor by the individual control of the main wings. Few publications have appeared in the literature, dealing with tri-copter UAV with individually tilted main wings. Dynamic model of the UAV is established via the Newton-Euler formulation and effect of individual wing control is examined. The PID controller and PI controller for control of flight maneuvers are implemented and used for simulations and experiments. Results of simulations and experiments are presented for validation of flight performance of the UAV, including the roll rate 80% larger than that of the conventional UAV with ailerons as control surfaces.

“…At Vives University College the open source platform FlightGear had been used in a conceptual unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) design project aiming to execute electro-thermal analysis in Simulink by applying HITL simulations [26]. Also other publications (such from A. Bittar et al [27,28]) have utilized the X-Plane simulation environment for hardware/power in the loop (H/PITL) simulations incorporating MATLAB/Simulink with focus on new control/actuator concepts. .…”

Modern aircraft can be seen as heterogeneous systems, containing multiple embedded subsystems which are in today's simulations split into different domain-specific models based on different modelling methods and tools. This paper addresses typical workflow-driven model integration problems with respect to model fidelity, accuracy in combination with the selected abstraction methods and the target system characteristics. A short overview of integration strategies with the help of cosimulation frameworks including an analysis of the inherent problems that emerge because of different domain-specific modelling methods is being given. It is shown that huge benefits can be reached with the help of a smart system break-up. In detail, the discrepancy between the cyber-physical system simulations and human-machine interaction (HMI) models are being analysed. Therefore, a close look on typical shortcomings of behavioural models are being discussed, too. To enable an effortless human-in-the-loop integration into a cyber-physical system simulation, the usage of flight simulation software, offering real-time capability and a graphical user interface is suggested. This approach is applied to overcome today's complexity and shortcomings in human psychological models. An example implementation based on a commercial flight simulator software (X-Plane) together with a high-performance system simulation tool (Hopsan) via UDP communication is presented and analysed.

Abstract. In this paper we propose an Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) system for industrial drives. The system allows the user to optimize the design of control strategies by emulating complex mechanical applications. In fact, with this approach it is possible to simulate the behavior of the real mechanical system, and therefore to verify a priori the effectiveness of a control strategy and to achieve a rapid prototyping of the mechatronic system. The structure of the system consists of a couple of brushless motor which are connected by a mechanical joint. In one drive the control functions related to a specific application are implemented while the other one is used to replicate the mechanical system model of the application. A modular approach has been selected in order to allow a rapid development of a given application. In particular, a library of components has been implemented both in Simulink and in an IEC61131-3 language.
