Verification of a UAV’s mathematical model

Abstract

This paper focuses on verification of a 6-DoF mathematical model built in the Matlab/Simulink. The model is based on coefficients of a small UAV “Skydog”. The verification consists of 3 experiments, where each consists of 3 different simulations. The simulations were done at different velocities to verify aircraft’s behavior in different conditions. The verification is necessary for a clarification of a functionality of the model. The paper also provides theoretical description of building a 6-DoF model and necessary coefficients for the model. Simulation results are presented and give proper view of model’s functionality and behavior based on different inputs.
