The AlphaLink Unmanned Aircraft Experimental System (UAXS) is a set that consists of software and hardware for experimental purposes. The AlphaLink UAXS set includes:
The Talon Nano Evo is a fixed-wing aircraft with V-tail. Table 1 lists the most important aircraft parameters. Three aerodynamic rudders and thrust are available as input variables. Left and right aileron are actuated by a common servo motor. Left and right V-tail rudder have different servo motors and, hence, can be deflected independently. A control allocation is made for consideration of conventional control surfaces and is implemented in the Direct Law model. It can be changed as required. The aerodynamic rudders are limited within ±25°. The rotational speed of the motor is used as thrust command. The value is limited between 0 and 1. A value of 1 means maximum rotational speed while a value of 0 means full stop of the motor.
