Raw data: Propeller damage induced quadrotor loss of control

Dataset

Description

Raw flight data of the propeller damage experiments conducted to detect loss of stability with increasing blade damage severity.


Two data subsets are available:

1. Autonomous flight experiments are conducted with a quadrotor called "DragonFly". These include trajectory (circles and positional set points) and hover tracking tasks in both windless and windy conditions. Autonomous flight is facilitated by the Indiflight control software (available here: https://github.com/tudelft/INDIFlight).

2. Manual (i.e. human piloted) flight experiments conducted with a quadrotor called "HoverFly". These include only hovering tasks for pilot behavior consistency. The flight controller used is BetaFlight (available here: https://www.betaflight.com/download)

Both quadrotors are constructed from off the shelf components and use the MATEKSYS H743-SLIM V3 flight controller on an Ethix CineRat frame.
