The nonlinear model of a ducted-fan uninhabited aerial vehicle is presented, where the aerodynamic coefficients are determined by numerical analysis of the flow field about the airframe. The model is used to investigate performance and stability characteristics of the vehicle, and to gain a sound physical understanding of its dynamic behavior and response characteristics. In addition, the influence of uncertainty in the aerodynamic derivatives on the open-loop dynamics is determined. ©2001 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc.

Abstract
The nonlinear model of a ducted-fan uninhabited aerial vehicle is presented, where the aerodynamic coefficients are determined by numerical analysis of the flow field about the airframe. The model is used to investigate performance and stability characteristics of the vehicle, and to gain a sound physical understanding of its dynamic behavior and response characteristics. In addition, the influence of uncertainty in the aerodynamic derivatives on the open-loop dynamics is determined. ©2001 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc.
