dc.description.abstractThis article proposes a method of measuring wind speed using the data logged by the autopilot of a quadrotor drone. Theoretical equations from works on quadrotor control are utilized and supplemented to form the theoretical framework. Static thrust tests provide the necessary parameters for calculating wind estimates. Flight tests were conducted at a test site with laminar wind conditions with the quadrotor hovering next to a static 2D ultrasonic anemometer with wind speeds between 0–5 m/s. Horizontal wind estimates achieve exceptionally good results with root mean square error (RMSE) values between 0.26–0.29 m/s for wind speed, as well as between 4.1–4.9 for wind direction. The flexibility of this new method simplifies the process, decreases the cost, and adds new application areas for wind measurements.en_US
