Abstract
This chapter focuses on dynamic modeling of drone using MATLAB. The control of diverse drone movements is vital for understanding and managing drone flight dynamics. The main objective is to replicate movements like ascending, descending, forward-backward, and lateral translations through a comprehensive simulation model within MATLAB. This simulation will accurately represent the drone’s flight dynamics and interactions within its environment. The understanding of drone maneuverability and control is serving as a foundational step towards developing more sophisticated control systems for these aerial platforms by facilitating advancements in drone technology across various industries.
Keywords: Flight control, drone control, simulation in MATLAB, flight dynamics, six degrees of freedom, dynamic systems modelling, parameter analysis, aerospace technology
5.1 Introduction
Drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their versatility and usefulness in a wide range of industries (Shelare et al., 2021) [1]. These aerial vehicles are equipped with advanced technology and can be used for a variety of purposes, including surveillance, reconnaissance, agriculture, disaster management, and filmmaking. Drones are particularly valuable because they can access ...
