Abstract
We describe an experimental platform for testing the DarkO tail-sitter drone in an open wind tunnel experiment. The DarkO convertible UAV is developed and 3D printed at the Ecole Nationale de l'Aviation Civile (ENAC), in Toulouse (France). The objective of the experimental platform is to allow testing control laws in a realistic and secure context. We propose a test bench with a single degree of freedom corresponding to the drone pitch axis. We design a linear proportional/integral feedback hovering stabilizer in the presence of constant wind, and we illustrate its effectiveness in stabilizing a hovering position through experimental results.
