Estimation and Mapping of Ship Air Wakes using RC Helicopters as a Sensing Platform

Estimation and Mapping of Ship Air Wakes using RC Helicopters as a Sensing Platform

This dissertation explores the applicability of RC helicopters as a tool to map wind conditions. This dissertation presents the construction of a robust instrumentation system capable of wireless in-situ measurement and mapping of ship airwake. The presented instrumentation system utilizes an RC hel...
