Model Identification of a Micro Air Vehicle

Jorge Nino, Flavius Mitrache, Robin De Keyser, Peter Cosyn

Abstract


This paper is focused on the model identification of an MAV (Micro Air Vehicle) in straight steady flight condition. The identification is based on input-output data collected from flight tests using both frequency and time domain techniques. The vehicle is an in-house 40 cm wingspan airplane. Because of the complex coupled, multivariable and nonlinear dynamics of the aircraft, linear SISO structures for both the lateral and the longitudinal model around a reference state were derived. The aim of the identification is to provide models that can be used in future development of control techniques for the MAV.
