Dynamic Modeling and Simulation of Quadcopter for Several Flight Conditions

In this paper, a four-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle was modeled, a control system was designed and performance evaluations were made. For the control system, a separate mathematical model of the unmanned aerial vehicle longitudinal, lateral and vertical take-off and landing operations is omitted and is expressed as a state space model. The mathematical model of the wind disturbances that will affect the unmanned aerial vehicle during the flight was created and the situation was added to the space model. Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control algorithm was used as the control. Unmanned aerial vehicle modeling was done in Solidworks and simulations were done in Matlab / Simulink program. This paper is one of rare studies that source on quadcopter modeling and control. In the next part of this study, Zankacopter name will be used instead of quadcopter or quadrotor
