Abstract Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) have a variety of applications in our daily life that
have attracted the attention of many researchers around the world. There are a variety of …

Abstract Fixed-wing Micro-Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) need effective sensors that can rapidly
detect turbulence induced motion perturbations. Current MAV attitude control systems rely …

Birds modulate their flight paths in relation to regional and global airflows in order to reduce
their travel costs. Birds should also respond to fine-scale airflows, although the incidence …

A large variety of gusts that develop in the atmospheric boundary layer affect aerial vehicles.
This study, performed in water tow tanks, compares the response of a flat plate wing to …

There are significant challenges associated with the flight control of fixed‐wing micro air
vehicles (MAVs) operating in complex environments. The scale of MAVs makes them …

Wind-hovering birds exhibit remarkable steadiness in flight, achieved through the morphing
of their wings and tail. We analysed the kinematics of two nankeen kestrels (Falco …

Fixed-wing micro aerial vehicles experience attitude control difficulties as they operate in
highly turbulent environments. Previous research has identified pressure-based control as a …

The growing use of drones today necessitates improved UAVs performance and
capabilities. These requirements include flights in operational environments full of obstacles …

Air vehicle gust encounters can result in extreme loads that are detrimental for stability. This
is a particular problem for micro-air vehicles which generally fly at speeds on the same order …

There are significant challenges in the control of fixed-wing Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) in
high turbulence environments. Birds can sustain stable flight in such environments by …
