Micro Air Vehicle Nonlinear Simulation

Micro air vehicle (MAV) is very sensitive to the external disturbances which make the prediction of its dynamics a hard task. In this paper there is a description of nonlinear simulation made for the MAV’s dynamics prediction. Experimental measured data were used in this Simulink simulation, the Aerodynamics forces and moment, Mass moment of inertia, and propulsion system performance were experimentally measured for an accurate simulation of the MAV. The output from the simulation gave accurate prediction for the MAV dynamics.
