Simulation scheme for quadricopter control with labview and x-plane

Resumen

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) became interesting for applications where manned operations are considered inefficient and dangerous for humans. This paper is dedicated to one special type of UAV called quadricopter. Lately, this UAV have been in the spotlight, because it has the vertical take-off and landing feature, it can perform hovered flight with changes orientation capability, besides it has high maneuverability and simple mechanic. This paper proposes an virtual simulation environment for validate control techniques applied to quadricopters. This scheme will integrate the virtual environment of X-Plane flight simulator with the mathematical and graphical LabView tooling.
