Abstract

Analyzed is the applicability possibility of large aircraft dynamical characteristics definition technique for micro air vehicles. Analytical expressions of dynamic characteristics are investigated with respect for MAV. Considered are the conditions of Micro Air Vehicles (MAV) stability and the influence of MAV design on these conditions. Static and dynamic stability conditions, characteristic frequencies and times are obtained for the most important flight mode (cruise flight) and the influence of MAV design parameters is investigated. Comparison with flight experiment is made.
