Experimental Characterization of Propeller-Induced Flow (PIF) below a Multi-Rotor UAV

The availability of multi-rotor UAVs with lifting capacities of several kilograms allows for a new paradigm in atmospheric measurement techniques, i.e., the integration of research-grade sonic anemometers for airborne turbulence measurements. With their ability to hover and move very slowly, this ap...
