Empirical Systems Aerospace, Inc. (Esaero), a small business manufacturer, was awarded a $124,973 Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a methodology for flight control algorithm design featuring distributed electric propulsion (DEP) on a modified Cirrus SR22T unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The study will leverage low-order aerodynamic simulation, dynamics modeling, wind tunnel testing, and flight testing to characterize the baseline vehicle and demonstrate closed-loop flight control using differential thrust from the DEP system. This research aims to establish a broadly applicable methodology for designing DEP flight control algorithms, regardless of the aero-propulsive efficiency of the DEP implementation.
