Abstract: AbstractA method using computational fluid dynamics to numerically calibrate a flush air data system is presented. A small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) has been equipped with a flush air data system and experimentally ...

Abstract: As the number of applications for small unmanned (i.e., remotely operated) aircraft systems (sUAS) continues to grow, comprehensive safety risk assessment studies are required to ensure their safe integration into the ...

Abstract: AbstractSmall unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) have proven their effectiveness for measuring both the inertial and aircraft-relative wind. One of the more common aircraft-relative wind instruments is the multihole probe ...

Abstract: AbstractThe multihole probe (MHP) is an effective instrument for relative wind measurements from small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS). Two common drawbacks for the integration of commercial MHP systems into low-cost sUAS ...

Abstract: borative Colorado?Nebraska Unmanned Aircraft System Experiment (CoCoNUE) was executed on 1 March and 30 September 2009. The principal objective of this project was to examine the feasibility of using a small unmanned ...

Abstract: ampling the atmospheric boundary layer with small unmanned aircraft is a difficult task requiring informed selection of sensors and algorithms that are suited to the particular platform and mission. Many factors must be ...

Abstract: esults are presented from an intercomparison of temperature, humidity, and wind velocity sensors of the Tempest unmanned aircraft system (UAS) and the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) mobile mesonet (NSSL-MM). ...
