Choice of the optimal mode of control of the process of emergency landing of an unmanned quadcopter

Fìz.-mat. model. ìnf. tehnol. 2021, 32:46-51

Abstract

Peculiarities of the process of emergency landing of an unmanned quadcopter have been studied by mathematical modeling. The method of landing an unmanned quadcopter in case of failure of one of the four pairs of electric motor-propeller is proposed. The basis of this technique is the application of the parachuting effect. Parachuting is achieved by forcibly turning off the power of the motor, which is located at the opposite end of the same traverse as the faulty motor. As a result, the vertical speed of the unmanned quadcopter at the time of landing is significantly reduced and approaches a relatively safe value.
