25 The Design of Quadrocopter Contributes to Safety of Aircraft Take-Off &Landing G. Gol, N. F. Bayraktar, E. Kiyak Abstract—This paper presents information about quadrocopter designed for special aim and its applications. In this context, it focuses basic subjects such as design of a quadrocopter, obtaining numerical data, detection of foreign matter on runway. The measurements and graphs belongs to the subject in point are included. The analyses to be carried out put forward that the quadrocopter has many fields of use contribute to safety of aircraft take-off and landing. Keywords—building of qudrocopter, telemetry, video processing I. Introduction Air power is one of the concepts whose importance is getting increased in todays. This importance provides for the operating performance and usage areas of both military and civil aerial vehicles to develop and increased rapidly. One of the indicators of the development in point is application of unmanned aerial vehicle has most advantages when compared with manned aerial vehicle. Most of subjects on quadrocopter and aerial vehicles have been dealt with in many different ways. Design and stability analyses for controller [1], the controller of nonlinear dynamic model of quadrotor [2], control of quadrotor for trajectory tracking [3], design of robust flight controller [4], detection of obstacle and junctions [5], aerodynamically and mechanical design of quadrotor [6], altitude estimation [7], a vision based line tracking control [8], a flexible unmanned aerial vehicle for precision agriculture [9], hybrid pose / wrench control framework [10], using a small unmanned aerial vehicle for polar scientific research [11], a new paradigm for construction Special Cubic Structures [12], applications of an electronic compass in micro quadrotor [13], the development of a multi-functional micro air vehicle [14], a real-time vision based algorithm for 5 degrees-of freedom pose estimation and set-point control for Gokhan GOL Anadolu University Turkey gokhangol@anadolu.edu.tr N. Fazilet BAYRAKTAR Anadolu University Turkey nfbayraktar@anadolu.edu.tr Emre KIYAK Anadolu University Turkey ekiyak@anadolu.edu.tr MAV [15], building a prototype of autonomous aerial vehicle, specifically designed for applications in cooperative networks [16], perception and control of a micro-UAVs [17], the integration of GPS navigation equipment to a miniature detention mapping receiver system [18], solving problem about formation transmissions from distant targets [19], and using pressurized structures-based (PSB) technologies in aerial vehicles [20] can be given example dealt with topics of the studies on this field. When considering the examples, this paper differs from them in terms of the purpose of construction of. The aim of this project carried out within Anadolu University is to detect conditions of the weather and runway is suitable for flight or not. II. Building a Quadrocopter Generally quadrocopter can be built in two modes and they have advantages and disadvantages when compared with each other. One of them is “+” mode and the other one is “x” mode. The main differences between them are the number of rotors meets the desired movements. “+” mode meets them one rotor, but “x” mode meets two rotors. In this project, X type has been built so desired availability has been obtained (Figure 1). Figure 1. X type of quadrocopter Proc. of the Intl.
