Take-off and landing performance of Tactical UAV

Abstract

The research presented in this paper focuses on take-off and landing performance of a single pusher-propelled Tactical unmanned aerial vehicle. The analysis presented includes flight test verification of estimated UAV characteristics. The study proposes a possible approximated method for estimating UAV characteristics. Flight test results have been conducted to verify the estimated results, and the calculated and measured results show good agreement.
