(2) Consider the two-dimensional drone depicted below. In what follows you will develop the equations of motion and then you will linearize them. We will see the full development of the three-dimensional equations of motion and when linearized the three-dimensional equations of motion become uncoupled in three planes (unless aerodynamic effects preclude this) and, as we'll see, the equations of motion developed for the plane in this exercize are identical to those obtained by linearization of the three-dimensional equations of motion.
x
The drone is modelled as a central package with mass and moment of inertia M and J, respectively. The rotors are symetrically placed a distance L from the central package, and are modelled as point masses with mass m. The system moves with x and z-direction velocities u and w, respectlively, and the system rotates with pitch angle . The rotors provide thrust forces Fl and F2 and the system experiences an aerodynamic drag force in the x-direction modeled as Cuu where Cu is a constant coefficient. The system also experiences an aerodynamic moment modelled as Duu where Du is a constant coefficient. The coefficients Cu0 and Du>0 and are related to stability derivatives xu and Mu(defined later). There is also a drag force in the z direction with coefficient Ew.
(i) Define the rotor force F=F1+F2 and rotor torque T=(F1-F2)L then apply Newton's Laws of Motion to show that the equations of motion are:
(2m+M)u=-Fsin+Cuu
(2m+M)w=Fcos+Eww-(2m+M)g
(2mL2+J)=T+Duu
