A. Buonanno, M. V. Cook
Cranfield Univ., UK

Keywords: Flapless, flight, control, circulation, UAV

The goal of this research is to develop the flight dynamic simulation model of flapless UAV. A model of a fluid thrust vectoring and circulation control system will be integrated in a 6DoF Simulink model to estimate the impact on the overall system and to demonstrate safe operational flight envelopes.
