Abstract

The advancement in small unmanned aerial systems (UAS) technology has led to the creation of novel vehicle designs with unique rotor configurations. Some of these configurations involve rotor-rotor wake interactions that can impact the performance of the rotors and the overall efficiency of the vehicle. This paper presents empirical data that illustrates how the rotor-rotor wake interactions impact the performance of a tandem rotor system as well as a novel multi-agent UAS, named the Dodecacopter.
