Abstract

The article discusses a method for determining the wind velocity values at a desired point of the atmospheric boundary layer using a multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle. Wind velocity is calculated via a multicopter in hovering mode at a target point using current measurements of the thrust vector angle, the power consumed by each engine, and the angle of the frame orientation relative to the boresight. Wind vector meas-urement errors associated with different angles and windage of the body are compensated by rotating the un-manned aerial vehicle around the vertical axis with subsequent averaging of the accumulated data.
