• 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 ...
    • Measuring Wind Using the Internal Stabilisation System of a Quadrotor Drone 

      Simma, Magdalena (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-15)
      This thesis proposes a method of measuring wind using the data logged by the autopilot of a quadrotor drone. The approach is fundamentally different from other attempts found in the literature. Theoretical equations from works on quadrotor control are utilised and supplemented to form the theoretical framework. Static thrust tests provide the necessary parameters for calculating wind estimates. ...
