Responsibilities

Implementation, validation, and application of first-principles methods for rotor mechanics to capture static and dynamic response, power requirements, handling qualities, and additional parameters of interest for novel UAS configurations

Focus areas will include steady level typical flight regimes in addition to less understood regimes including ground effect, aerodynamic interaction, aggressive maneuvering, and transitioning flight

Research goals could also incorporate machine learning or empirical corrections based on system identification and/or sub-system experimentation to improve simulation results, as well as making improvements to the code for computational efficiency gains
