Equations governing dynamics and control of a multirotor UAV
A friendly drone capable of awesome feats of aerodynamics. This article describes drone physics. Audience should have familiarity with introductory linear algebra, introductory calculus, and introductory classical mechanics. This work was adapted from my research in adaptive control and publication at AIAA DASC 2023 about multirotor, a python simulation framework for drones. The notation here borrows heavily from the excellent work by Charles Tytler. Join the discussion on X, Reddit, HackerNews For more interactive explainers, see Poor Man’s Autograd and Surprise!
