    System Identification and Handling Qualities Predictions of an eVTOL Urban Air Mobility Aircraft Using Modern Flight Control Methods Robert Niemiec Farhan Gandhi Mark J. S. Lopez Mark B. Tischler Redfern Professor Research Scientist Aerospace Engineer Senior Scientist and MOVE Director Center for Mobility With Vertical Lift U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Command Aviation & Missile Center Troy, NY, United States Moffet Field, CA, United States ABSTRACT Modern system identification techniques were used to identify a linear model based on a nonlinear simulation of a concept Urban Air Mobility quadcopter, and compared to a perturbation-based model. These models were used to develop feedback controllers for both variable-pitch and variable-RPM variants of the quadcopter, with the handling qualities requirements determining current requirements for the electric motors. To have sufficient stability margins and bandwidth, the motor time constant for the variable-RPM system must be no greater than 0.122s. Both variable- RPM and variable-pitch systems were limited by the yaw axis, which relies on differential motor torque for control. The introduction of rotor cant alleviated this problem for the variable-pitch vehicle, allowing a 47% reduction in motor weight, relative to the uncanted variable-pitch system.

Electricity may be supplied by a variety of methods including batteries, ground power cables, solar cells, ultracapacitors, fuel cells and power beaming.[1] Small, electrically powered model aircraft have been flown since the 1970s, with one unconfirmed report as early as 1957.[2][3] They have since developed into small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or drones, which in the twenty-first century have become In 2016, Solar Impulse 2 was the first widely used for many purposes. solar-powered aircraft to complete circumnavigation of the world. Although manned flights in a tethered helicopter go back to 1917 and in airships to the previous century, the first manned free flight by an electrically powered aeroplane, the MB-E1, was not made until October 1973 and most manned electric aircraft today are still only experimental demonstrators.[4] Between 2015 and 2016, Solar Impulse 2 completed a circumnavigation of the Earth using solar power.[5] More recently, interest in electric passenger aircraft has grown, for both commercial airliners and personal air vehicles.

The internal academic supervisor from HVL is Professor Richard J. Grant. The purpose of this thesis is to look at the potential for sustainable aviation in Norway. The subject was assigned by ourselves, since we found the topic highly relevant and interesting to tackle from an engineering perspective. The extraordinary circumstances surrounding the outbreak of COVID-19 during the process of writing lead to a drastic change in both the internal and external work. The communication and group dynamic were challenged by the restrictions imposed on the society. Luckily, the methodology of the thesis was mostly based on literature searches, without the need for laboratory tests or experiments.
