Design and development of modular autonomous flying vehicle

In recent years, Vertical Take-off and Landing vehicles (VTOL) have gained popularity among researchers due to their capabilities of vertical stationary flight and maneuverability. As the consequences, many beneficial and unique applications of this type of vehicle can be found for both military and...

description In recent years, Vertical Take-off and Landing vehicles (VTOL) have gained popularity among researchers due to their capabilities of vertical stationary flight and maneuverability. As the consequences, many beneficial and unique applications of this type of vehicle can be found for both military and civilian purposes. Despite heightened interest in VTOL vehicles, research in this area until now has focused almost exclusively on rotorcraft platforms such as quadrotors. Very little research has been performed in extending the design of VTOL vehicles to a multi-rotor platform consisting of individual flight modules using distributed control. In this project, a multi-rotor platform consisting of modular flight vehicles using distributed control has been designed.
