Evaluation of aircraft performance algorithms in Federal Aviation Administration's Integrated Noise Model
The Integrated Noise Model (INM) has been the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) standard tool since 1978 for determining the predicted noise impact in the vicinity of airports. A review of the aircraft performance algorithms in the INM was conducted and improved models for true airspeed, …

Modeling, Control, and Hardware Development of a Thrust-Vector Coaxial UAV
<p>This thesis introduces a unique thrust vector coaxial unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) configuration and presents a comprehensive investigation encompassing dynamics modeling, hardware design, and controller development. Using the Newton-Euler method, a dynamic model for the UAV is derived to gain …
