Drone HF
History
Early Flight
Leonardo Da Vinci
Great engineer, Leonardo Da Vinci
was the first to ever make an attempt at
a flying machine, he made many sketches and
eventually came up with a design that seemed good
He called this design the onithopter, and it was
controlled by flapping objects that were like bird wings,
it seemed like a good design but did not work
The onithopter did not work, as a human was too
heavy and they could not flap the wings fast enough
Hot Air Balloon
The hot air balloon was invented by
brothers, Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier, this
invention was actually succesful
The first succesful flight of the ballloon lasted for around 10 minutes, and they managed to succesfully fly around 1.2miles
Modern Flight
-
Planes, Helicopters, and rockets
In 1903, the Wright Brothers managed to make the first ever sustained powered flight
This flight was in the world's first
aeroplane, and set the groundwork for most aviation today
In the 1950's, aviations was developped some much, that it went out of the Earth's atmosphere in the form of space technology
Flight
Principles and Laws
Bernouillis Principle
Bernoulli theroized that as the velocity
of a fluid such as air, increased, the pressure
decreased,
Bernoulli's Principle Is best shown in a
Venturi tube, where the ends are larger and have high pressure, and low velocity, however, the middle is smaller and has low pressure but very high velocity.
Throughout this process, the total energy of the airstream is conserved. An increase in velocity is accompanied by a decrease in pressure.
Newtons Laws of Motion
Newtons Second Law: A force is equal to the change in momenutm, per change in time - F = M*A
Netwons Third Law: Every force applied to an object is opposed by an equal force in the opposite direction, or as it is often stated, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Newtons First Law: An object in motion or rest will stay
in it's current state until acted upon by another force which will then make it change the objects current state because of these forces that are impressed on it
Components
Sensors
Gyroscope: Used to stop the
drone from titlting to much
in a certain direction
and correct this tilt, it is
also used to find the angle of a drone
Accelorometer: Used to measure the
speed of a drone in different directions
these directions are Roll, Pitch and Yaw
IMU or inertial measurement unit: This
sensor contains 3 gryscopes and 3 acceloromters
to measure the orientation of a drone in the three
directions, Roll, Pitch, and Yaw
GPS or Global Positioning System: Used
to pinpoint the exact location of a drone, this
is helpful in autonmous flying, to know where
the drone is actually going
Obstacle Avoidance: Used to detect oncoming obstacles
in the drones path to make sure that it will not crash into
anything on its journey
Flight Components
Thrust is the forward motion of an object in motion,
the more thrust an object has the faster it goes
foraward
Drag is the opposite of thrust, which means
it is the backwards motion, the more drag
there is on a flying object, the lest forward thrust it has.
Lift, this is the vertical pull of the plane
that determines how much the plane is being
pulled up
Weight is the downwards force that pulls
down on an object in flight, the more weight there is
the less lift there is, as these two are oposite forces
