Abstract
  • The purpose of this thesis was to understand the relation between the actual performance and the design performance of the manufacturing plane which was designed for the 2016 Design/Build/Fly competition. The actual performance was determined using an Arduino Uno based system with data from an accelerometer, gyroscope and pitot tube. While the data did not represent a statistically significant sample size it did suggest a few things: o The cruise speed and takeoff speed while similar were slightly lower than the analytical results. o The turning radius was slightly higher than expected, but at a lower airspeed. o The aircraft is statically stable, but improvements in trim can be used to change the steady state settling angle. Key Words: UAV, Airplane, Arduino, Flight Characterization
