UNMANNED SYSTEMS WITH THREE ROTORS

Abstract

The aim of this article is to specify a basic overview of multirotor-type unmanned aerial vehicles, constructional design and realization of a tricopter based on mechanical components and electronics available at the Department of Aviation Technical Studies. The tricopter is the simplest multirotor design. The electrotechnical part of the basic tricopter version doesn’t require programming of complex control algorithms, because the stabilization is provided by the pre-programmed microcontrollers, one in each gyroscope. Flight data acquisition and automated control system can be situated onboard. In the future the implementation of various sensors, IMU and performing controlling microcontroller can be realized. There is also a perspective of implementation of algorithms for pre-programmed and in-flight updated tasks.
