The coming electric revolution (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Wright, S. (2017, November). The coming electric revolution. Presented at Light Aircraft Design Conference 2017, London, UK

Quads, UAVs, Drones: call them what you will. One thing is clear: power and control technologies have converged to cause a breakthrough in capability and cost, and create a new industry. The usage envelope is now expanding into safety-critical applic... Read More about The coming electric revolution.

Real-time simulation of large aircraft fuel systems (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Wright, S., & Grazebrook, A. (2017, October). Real-time simulation of large aircraft fuel systems. Paper presented at ESM 2017: 31st European Simulation and Modelling Conference, Lisbon, Portugal

This paper presents a method for the real-time simulation of the fluid-mechanical components of the fuel storage and transfer systems of large civil aircraft. The simulation includes modelling of fuel flow, fuel properties and related measurement sen... Read More about Real-time simulation of large aircraft fuel systems.

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...
