This research paper addresses the power optimization problem of a tethered quadcopter for mini payload long time hovering is expected. Tethered quadcopters are unmanned aerial vehicles with ability of vertical takeoffs, landings and hovering at a desired location. Since the vehicle is tethered, it has no flight time restrictions that the battery operated unmanned aerial vehicle has, and so suitable for long time uninterrupted applications. In already existing tethered UAV's the power consumption is not optimum due to the lack of proper knowledge about the power parameters like voltage, current and throttle level. So we concentrated on finding the optimum value of parameters to be fed to the quadcopter for a particular payload value.
Quadcopter UAV also known as quadrotor is the next form of helicopters having more dynamic stability than helicopters. They play a predominant role in different areas like surveillance, military operations, fire sensing and some important areas having many complexities. Quadcopters are unmanned aerial vehicles with ability of vertical takeoffs, landings and hovering at a desired location. This research paper addresses the design and development of an inclined arm quadcopter for mini payload and longtime endurance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
