Concept of Wind Speed and Direction Measurement by COTS Multicopter
Original language description
Weather forecast is one of the most important issues in aviation safety. The paper deals with possibilities of meteorological data measurement in the ground layers of the atmosphere that is cheap and can be used repeatedly unlike the standard measurements using meteorological balloon. Nowadays small meteorological balloons are launched according to a fixed schedule all around the world. The balloon carries small measurement device and GPS receiver so balloon position and drifting speed can be measured. Alternative methods are searched for today and one of the popular methods is to use UAV. There are several possibilities to measure the parameters of the wind by UAVs but all of them except one require adding more equipment resulting in carrying more weight and consuming more electric energy. The paper introduces all necessary mathematical apparatus for wind speed and direction measured by the multi-copter using only onboard instrumentation. Experimental results of the drone hovering and climbing in moderate and fresh breeze are presented including issues of determining the multicopter reference area and the drag coefficient.
