Paper Presented at SciTech 2023: Flight Testing an Onboard Turbulence Quantification System for Multicopter Vehicles
Air vehicles routinely encounter turbulence, and appropriate responses to turbulence are critical for flight safety and passenger comfort. Currently, human pilots have primary responsibility for detecting and responding to turbulence, but many future air vehicles are likely to be operated without a skilled pilot onboard. This includes both unmanned air vehicles, and vehicles such as […]
