• Measuring Wind Speed Using the Internal Stabilization System of a Quadrotor Drone 

      Simma, Magdalena; Mjøen, Håvard; Boström, Tobias (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-16)
      This 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 ...

      Martinussen, Monica; Lang-Ree, Ole Christian; Mjøen, Håvard; Svendsen, Bengt; Barone, Adrian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-19)
      The main purpose of this study was to examine the predictive validity of the system used for ab initio selection of candidates to a bachelor program in aviation. The selection includes paper-and-pencil tests, computer-based tests, and an interview. A total of 188 candidates participated in the validation study. The total test score predicted the results of three exams in aviation theory (r = .27–.38) ...
