Design of Cabled Six-Rotor Aircraft Based on Complementary Filtering

The high-altitude shooting of gyroplanes shows great commercial value in film and television advertisements. However, the lack of sustaining force has become a bottleneck which restricts the high-altitude shooting ’s development. For the limited capacity of airborne batteries, the ground-cable-powered six-rotor aircraft is designed. Due to the problems of gyroscope low frequency zero drift characteristic and accelerometer high frequency Gauss noise interference in the ground-cable-powered six-rotor aircraft’s inertial navigation sensor, a complementary filtering algorithm is proposed for data fusion. By the outdoor flight experiment in the self-built hardware and software experimental platform, the effectiveness of the complementary filtering algorithm is visually observed, and the feasibility of ground cable power supply is also verified.
