A multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle, Mini-Surveyor, developed by Autonomous control systems laboratory Ltd. has a high flight performance because of its advanced flight controller. However, the flight envelope especially the limitation of wind speed is still narrow compared with conventional aircraft. It is intended to improve the agility of Mini-Surveyor through the following two technologies: (1) In the original Mini-Surveyor, the flight is controlled by varying the rotor speed. In the new multi-copter, it will be controlled by varying the pitch angle. (2) In the former one, six rotors are driven by the six motors. In the latter, they will be driven by just two motors. Flight test will be carried out to verify these improvements.
