The Research on Longitudinal Flying Quality of Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Due to the lack of specific flying quality criteria for UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), most researchers use the human flying quality criteria to evaluate the UAV flying qualities. This paper, through analyzing the flying performance of the small UAVs before and after the inclusion of the control augmentation systems, has validated the applicability of human flying quality criterion such as CAP and bandwidth criterions to small UAVs and proposed a means of evaluating the flying quality research of UAVs. The research of this paper can provide a reference for the future research of UAV flying quality and help for the design of UAV as well as its flying control system.
