Abstract

Numerous simulation studies and researches have recently revealed the rapid development and evolution in the emerging area of intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). This study aims to develop a flight performance evaluation about the wireless unmanned helicopter. The process includes the design and testing of flight hardware and software that interprets sensor data. For the unmanned helicopter used in this research, an inertial sensor that provides posture (roll, pitch and yaw angles) and a Bluetooth is used to provide wireless connection between the user's pc and the helicopter were installed in the helicopter the helicopter's pitch, roll and yaw were the communication data. The accuracy of the system was confirmed by a computer simulation. The software also has been developed to support operators and displays helicopter position and posture by graphics.
