Exploring the Impact of Rapidly Actuated Control Surfaces on Drone Aerodynamics
This study investigates the use of rapidly actuated leading-edge and trailing-edge control surfaces to improve the control authority of small fixed-wing drones. Static and dynamic characteristics were investigated and presented in two separate papers. In this paper, the focus is on the dynamic effec...
