Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for civilian applications are in a rapidly growing sector in the global aerospace industry that has only recently begun to gain traction. In this relatively immature field, there is such a steep learning curve that it can be difficult for research groups to begin development of well designed UAV systems. In this chapter, the authors present the AggieVTOL, a modular multi-rotor rotorcraft UAV prototype platform, and an overview of prototyping phase of its development, including design parameters and the implementation of its modular subsystems. Performance results demonstrate the effectiveness of platform.
