Technology and risk considerations in shaping future drone legislation (2021)
Journal Article
Wright, S., & Studley, M. (2021). Technology and risk considerations in shaping future drone legislation. International Journal of Technology, Policy and Management, 21(2), 128-139. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJTPM.2021.116513

The global aviation industry has decades-old and highly successful legislation enforcing safety in conventional manned aerospace. This framework has been evolved gradually around a set of mature technologies with particular goals and implementations,...

The influence of valve-pump weight ratios on the dynamic response of leaking valve-pump parallel control hydraulic systems (2018)
Journal Article
Ding, H., Zhao, J., Cheng, G., Wright, S., & Yao, Y. (2018). The influence of valve-pump weight ratios on the dynamic response of leaking valve-pump parallel control hydraulic systems. Applied Sciences, 8(7), Article 1201. https://doi.org/10.3390/app8071201

© 2018 by the authors. A new leaking valve-pump parallel control (LVPC) oil hydraulic system is proposed to improve the performance of dynamic response of present variable speed pump control (VSPC) system, which is an oil hydraulic control system wit...

The gap of six zeros (2018)
Journal Article
Wright, S. (2018). The gap of six zeros

Passenger drones work in theory, but in order to turn them into the safe, reliable transportation mode of the future, much needs to be done in terms of testing and design.

Model-based development of MAV altitude control via ground-based equipment (2017)
Journal Article
Wright, S. (2017). Model-based development of MAV altitude control via ground-based equipment. International Journal of Modelling, Identification and Control, 28(4), 361-369. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJMIC.2017.10007332

This paper presents the development and demonstration of an automated altitude controller for a very low weight Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) (i.e. less than 15g), via low-cost ground-based equipment, and without the provision of active telemetry data from...
