Abstract

Monocopter is a single-wing rotary flight system which has the capability of hovering. This flyer includes two dynamic parts in which more efficiency can be expected rather than other Micro UAVs due to the extended area of wing compared to its frame. Low capital cost and simple mechanism rather than other systems such as helicopter are the most important specifications of this flight system. In this paper, a model of monocopter flight system has been designed and implemented. Then, a new method of monocopter control and the related hardware has been designed and constructed using photo diode array in order to define position angle of flight system. Designers and constructors have to build a digital compass with the related advantages and disadvantages for this purpose. In the next stage, the optimized flight sample was redesigned and reconstructed and the dynamic parameters of flying were set due to existed hardware restrictions. Then, different experimental tests have been carried out after hardware installation of the control system. So, the controllable flying has been implemented using this control system.
