...Adam Tomaszewski; Zdobyslaw Jan Goraj Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an approach to a polar graph measurement by a flight testing technique and to propose a baseline research method for future tests of UAV polar graphs. The method presented can be used to demonstrate a conceptual...

... useless. Research limitations/implications The existing regulations for the use of unmanned aircraft impose the limitation upon the organisation of in-flight tests of PRS, i.e. the maximum take-off mass of the tested gyrocopter models is limited, and a full-scale test needs the approval of European...

... of certifying the airplane for civil use according to the civil regulations CS-23. Design/methodology/approach The design methodology that is presented in the paper consists of comparing flight test aerodynamic and calculation results. The methods used here are standard and routinely used in flight testing...

... edge vortices found on aerodynamic surfaces with moderate to highly swept leading edges, such as a delta wing. This has been labeled as the MEMS vortex shift control (MEMS‐VSC). The work presented in this paper seeks to detail the evolution of real‐world flight tests of this research using remotely...
