A Study on Establishing Wind Resistance Requirement for UAVs

Key Points

• The aim is to establish appropriate wind resistance requirements for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to ensure safe operation during gusty conditions.
• Utilized data from automatic weather measurement systems installed on runways.
• Employed nonparametric statistical methods to calculate gust occurrence rates.
• Analyzed UAV operational environments to set wind resistance requirements.
• Gust occurrence values were successfully calculated using statistical methods.
• Proposed method ensures optimized wind resistance requirements, minimizing acquisition costs.
• Potential for extended operating hours in accordance with operational concepts.
