Investigation of wind and sound field characteristics of multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle

Abstract

<jats:p> Wind field and sound field characteristics are the key indexes for unmanned aerial vehicle. Therefore, in this study, the wind field and sound field characteristics of a quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle are investigated. First, the experimental platform was set up based on quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle. Second, the experiments were performed on the wind field and the sound field characteristics of the unmanned aerial vehicle at different working currents. Then, the experiment results were analysed. Meanwhile, the experimental results showed that the working current has a large impact on the wind field and the wind intensity increases as working current increases; as the working current increases, the sound field is enhanced and a linear relationship exists; within a certain distance range of the unmanned aerial vehicle, as distance increases, sound intensity dramatically decreases. The presented methods and results can not only be used to evaluate the performance of the electric multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle but also provide references for the further improvement of the performance of the unmanned aerial vehicle. </jats:p>

Reviews on detection technology of low-small-slow UAV

“…The voice print of 5 adult males pronouncing the word "you", where image (a) and (f) are from the same person [44] Different from sonar, voice print recognition requires the acquisition of the frequency characteristic of the target in advance, which can be used as the basis for recognition in facing the unknown sound signal. Cao H R, from Sun Yat-sen University built a test platform for sound filed characteristics of small UAV, tested the sound field of UAV under different working currents and distances, and concluded that the frequency of sound field concentrated in 10 KHz when UAV is flying according to the results [46] . Since the test was conducted outdoors in a quiet breeze, the collected data included an…”

Bio-inspired Neural Network-based Optimal Path Planning for UUVs under the Effect of Ocean Currents

“…Then A* algorithm is applied on the basis of computing the heuristic cost, which increases the efficiency of the path planning process by largely reducing the searching space [13]. However, few studies have thoroughly considered the effect of environmental disturbances for UUV in the marine area, while most of them limited the discussion on the wind effect on the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) [14][15][16][17]. The typical marine disturbances, such as the obstacles and currents, are usually distributed irregularly in the environment [18].…”
