Abstract

Micro-Unmanned Air Vehicles (Micro-UAVs), especially quadrotor UAVs, have been widely used in recent years because of their simple structure and convenient operation. However, due to under-actuated and strongly-coupled characteristics, their flight performance is not perfect when suffering external uncertainty such as wind disturbance. Therefore, in this paper, the literature is reviewed related to wind acting on UAVs and makes some conclusions. First, we review the wind field model of quadrotor operation and decompose it into wind turbulent model, wind shear model, and other typical wind field models. Then we focus on the mathematic model of wind disturbance on UAVs and divide it into effect on rotors and effect on the fuselage. Finally, various control laws are used to study the wind resistance of quadrotors. We review the promising works which have been done before and determine the research emphasis to be focused on in the future.
