A synthetic air data system (SADS) is an analytical redundancy technique that is crucial for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and is used as a backup system during air data sensor failures. Unfortunately, the existing state-of-the-art approaches for SADS require GPS signals or high-fidelity dynamic U
This letter proposes a novel method for model-aided synthetic airspeed estimation of UAVs. The major contribution of the proposed algorithm is that the synthetic airspeed measurement is newly formulated for analytical redundancy. This filter only requires inertial measurement unit (IMU), airflow ang
High-altitudelong-endurance (HALE) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are employed in a variety of fields because of their ability to fly for a long time at high altitudes, even in the stratosphere. Two paramount concerns exist: enhancing their safety during long-term flight and reducing their weight a
