• A Machine Learning Approach for Estimating Air Data Parameters 

      Borup, Kasper Trolle; Fossen, Thor I.; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      This paper presents a method for estimating the air data parameters for a small fixed-wing, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using an arrangement of low-cost MEMS-based pressure sensors embedded in the surface of the UAV. The ...
    • Air Data Estimation for Small Unmanned Aircraft 

      Borup, Kasper Trolle (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:297, Doctoral thesis, 2018)
      The use of small fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles has shown an explosive growth in recent years and this thesis is motivated by the need for low-cost, accurate air data estimators for these aircraft. The air data contains ...
    • Experimental Investigations of an Icing Protection System for UAVs 

      Hann, Richard; Borup, Kasper Trolle; Zolich, Artur Piotr; Sørensen, Kim Lynge; Vestad, Håvard Nitter; Steinert, Martin; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      UAV icing is a severe challenge that has only recently shifted into the focus of research. Today, there are no mature icing mitigation technologies for UAVs, except for the largest fixed-wing drones. We are working on the ...

    • Kalman Filters for Air Data System Bias Correction for a Fixed-Wing UAV 

      Borup, Kasper Trolle; Stovner, Bård Nagy; Fossen, Thor I.; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      This paper presents two Kalman filter approaches for correcting air data systems providing relative velocity measurements with an additive constant or slowly time-varying bias for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). ...
    • UAV icing: Development of an ice protection system for the propeller of a small UAV 

      Müller, Nicolas Carlo; Løw-Hansen, Bogdan; Borup, Kasper Trolle; Hann, Richard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Atmospheric icing, also called in-flight icing, is a common hazard for the operation of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs). With the background of a growing commercial and military market of small and medium-sized drones and ...
