Abstract
Drones designed for racing usually feature powerful miniaturised electronics embedded in fairly light and strong geometric composite structures. The main objective of this article is to analyse the behaviour of various models of racing drones and their geometrical structures (airframes). Two approaches have been made: (i) an analysis of the information collected by a set of speed and time sensors located on an indoor race track and using a statistical technique (box and whiskers diagram) and (ii) an analysis of the know-how (flight sensations) of a group of racing pilots using a series of technical interviews on the behaviour of their drones. By contrasting these approaches, it has been possible to validate numerically the effects of varying the arm angles, as well as lengths, on a test race track and relate the geometry of these structures to racing behaviour.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
