Description
Summary:In this paper, we propose the concept of the rectangular-shaped unmanned surveillance flying car (RSUSFC), whose design is based on vehicles driven on the road. This RSUSFC offers driving and flying performance as an initial concept of a ground and aerial car. This RSUSFC is built around the previous quad rotor configuration because the quad rotor platform has significant advantages such as construction and maintenance simplicity, hovering ability, and vertical take-off and landing. Traditional quad rotor vehicles are squareshaped and move in the direction of the vertex. However, the RSUSFC moves in the direction of the one side of a rectangle like a traditional car to enhance driving performance. The dynamic modeling of the RSUFC is verified by analysis and simulation. Use of an adaptive fuzzy controller, which is very effective in a complex and nonlinear system, is suggested to stabilize the RSUSFC and is validated by MATLAB simulation.
