It is well known in the literature on multirotor UAVs that the flight control performance is affected when operating close to the ground surface. While ground effect has been studied extensively for full scale helicopters, its study for multirotors has so far received limited attention. In particular, following an experimental investigation of static ground effect for a quadrotor platform, in this paper the problem of characterising the dynamic operation of the same platform in ground effect is considered and the results obtained in an experimental campaign to this purpose are presented and discussed.

Abstract
It is well known in the literature on multirotor UAVs that the flight control performance is affected when operating close to the ground surface. While ground effect has been studied extensively for full scale helicopters, its study for multirotors has so far received limited attention. In particular, following an experimental investigation of static ground effect for a quadrotor platform, in this paper the problem of characterising the dynamic operation of the same platform in ground effect is considered and the results obtained in an experimental campaign to this purpose are presented and discussed.File in questo prodotto:
