“…Realistic experimentation represents a large hood test or outdoor test with rotor operation. Various studies have been conducted to analyze the air flow field of quadrotor drones by CFD [19][20][21][22], PIV [23][24][25], and realistic experimentation [26,27], and the occurrence of a strong down flow has been identified as a major aerodynamic issue in the practical application of chemical detection using quadrotor drones [27,28].…”

The determination of a suitable sensor location on quadrotor drones is a very important issue for chemical reconnaissance platforms because the magnitude and direction of air velocity is different for each location. In this study, we investigated a customized chemical reconnaissance system consisting of a quadrotor drone and a chip-sized chemical sensor for detecting dimethyl-methylphosphonate (DMMP; a Sarin simulant) and investigated the chemical detection properties with respect to the sensor position through indoor experiments and particle image velocimetry (PIV) analysis of the system. The PIV results revealed an area free of vortex–vortex interaction between the drone rotors, where there was distinctly stable and uniform chemical detection of DMMP. The proposed chemical reconnaissance system was found to be realistic for practical application.

“…The optimal location of the sensors requires a study of the airflows produced by the rotors and the analysis of the quad-rotor aerodynamics [17,41] and the hexa-rotor aerodynamics [40]. Such studies, performed using simulations [17,[42][43][44][45][46] and experiments in the real environment [17,40,41,[45][46][47][48][49], showed that the calmest place, with the weakest airflow, is the middle part of the UAV. This applies to both small, several-hundred-gram UAVs [17], to medium-sized ones [41,42,45,47,48] and large, several-kilogram ones [40] as well.…”

Nowadays, we observe a great interest in air pollution, including exhaust fumes. This interest is manifested in both the development of technologies enabling the limiting of the emission of harmful gases and the development of measures to detect excessive emissions. The latter includes IoT systems, the spread of which has become possible thanks to the use of low-cost sensors. This paper presents the development and field testing of a prototype pollution monitoring system, allowing for both online and off-line analyses of environmental parameters. The system was built on a UAV and WebRTC-based platform, which was the subject of our previous paper. The platform was retrofitted with a set of low-cost environmental sensors, including a gas sensor able to measure the concentration of exhaust fumes. Data coming from sensors, video metadata captured from 4K camera, and spatiotemporal metadata are put in one situational context, which is transmitted to the ground. Data and metadata are received by the ground station, processed (if needed), and visualized on a dashboard retrieving situational context. Field studies carried out in a parking lot show that our system provides the monitoring operator with sufficient situational awareness to easily detect exhaust emissions online, and delivers enough information to enable easy detection during offline analyses as well.

In this paper, We propose a hybrid multicopter that combines an gasoline propulsion system and an electric propulsion system to improve the endurance of the multicopter. The hybrid is equipped with a coaxial inverting thruster using a gasoline engine at the center and an electric propulsion system for attitude control at the side. The control system using a classical control algorithm based on the dynamic model. Finally, flight performance and high-endurance flight of the hybrid multicopter were verified.
