Modern UAV Foundations: Understanding the Principles, Architecture, and Flight Systems of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Dean Hollis
A small quadcopter holds its position in a gust of wind, looking as if it were suspended by an invisible hand. Beneath that deceivingly calm hover, aerodynamics, propulsion, sensors, estimation, control, communications, power, and regulation are continuously...
