A Quadcopters Flight Simulation Considering the Influence of Wind

Abstract

Quadcopters are widely used in luggage delivery and aerial photography. However, it is difficult to fly quadcopters outdoors freely due to laws such as aviation law. Quadcopters simulation modeling solves this problem, but few studies consider the influence of wind in the simulation. In this work, we construct a program considering the influence of wind and implement the wind on AirSim. The experimental results show that flying time in a simulator using the proposed program is almost the same as the flying time calculated by the formula.
