“…He identifies the parameters that most influence pilots' opinion and shows how to extract them from the dynamic model. Research on UAV flying qualities is very recent, but some ( [3,5,13,11]) have addressed the importance of creating specific requirements for unmanned aircraft. Therefore current assessment of UAV flying qualities is still based on manned requirements, which can be found on ( [15,14]).…”

“…As far as FQ parameters are concerned, existing studies [3,5,13]) focus mainly on the static and dynamic stability characteristics of the aircraf. As to FQ rating, so far it is not possible to guarantee that compliance with existing requirements will lead to good performance of the UAV, in terms of accomplishing some task/mission.…”

When developing an aircraft, one of several important aspects is to predict and properly design the dynamic behaviour of the aircraft. This holds for manned aircraft as well as for UAVs. The optimal dynamic behaviour for an aircraft depends on the mission or purpose: for a certain use an aircraft should be agile, other may require a more stable one. In aeronautics, the properties that describe the aircraft efficacy with respect to some task are known as flying qualities, and our goal is to study their dependence on some design parameters. As a test model we use an existing UAV. After deriving its 6-DOF dynamic model and assessing its baseline characteristics, we perform parametric studies.The strategy followed is divided in two steps: the first consists on analyzing flying qualities sensitivity to changes in model parameters. The second step studies how specific design changes affect model parameters. Because the first step only depends on the dynamic model form, we verify, by testing two other different aircrafts, that conclusions drawn from this step are valid to other configurations.Finally we show how results from parametric studies can be used to improve the UAV flying qualities regarding a certain mission, through the introduction of slight modifications on baseline design.

“…We evaluate the applicability of human flying quality criterion to the UAV through analyzing the longitudinal flying quality of the example UAV with and without control augment system by using human flying quality criterion. From the analysis and conclusion of the references [3][4][5][6], we evaluate the longitudinal flying quality of the example UAV by using the two typical human flying quality criteria: CAP criterion and bandwidth criterion.…”

“…And more seriously, there is no definitive proof that the human flying quality criterion can be used to evaluate the UAV flying quality, and this is the hot research topic now. The references [1][2][3][4][5][6], [10][11][12] analyzed the applicability of human flying quality criterion for UAVs, but the conclusions are different and even contradictory.…”

Abstract:Due to the lack of specific flying quality criteria for UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), most researchers use the human flying quality criteria to evaluate the UAV flying qualities. This paper, through analyzing the flying performance of the small UAVs before and after the inclusion of the control augmentation systems, has validated the applicability of human flying quality criterion such as CAP and bandwidth criterions to small UAVs and proposed a means of evaluating the flying quality research of UAVs. The research of this paper can provide a reference for the future research of UAV flying quality and help for the design of UAV as well as its flying control system.
